Reply to Mac OS 12.3 Beta and Monitor Problems
I'm having ongoing similar problems with the Mac mini 2018 I got two years ago (in 2020). For these two years hdmi and thunderbolt cablr both leave the screen unable to turn on after startups from turned off state, or starts from sleep state. The latest release of macOS 12.3.1 seems to actually have fixed the thunderbolt connection part such that the screen turns on properly (tested a few days for now, it seems stable so far). However with 12.3.1 the hdmi connectivity is not fixed and the problem is still there; I assume hdmi connectivity is not addressed (usb-c/thunderbolt is). But the bigger problem with 12.3.1 now is the computer is "half bricked". Many of the times the computer freezes halfway or a few minutes after boot. And when it freezes it reboots after awhile and then after finally being able to log in it complains about some system extension being unloaded, and that it saw panic mode. Mind that I had the OS completely replaced with a fresh macOS install just a few days ago when this same computer came back from Apple support. I'm so tired of this Mac Mini 2018 joke that has been haunting me for two years.

Reply to WatchOS 9.3 Developer Mode
For some reason I just got it to work. The weird thing is I first started the companion iOS app on the iPhone, and then while still running that app on the iPhone, I switched scheme in Xcode to the watch app, and ran it, and for whatever reason it installed and launched properly on my watch. First time this worked in Xcode 14.
