It seems like I'm spending more time than ever troubleshooting stuff. Part of that is because I have more stuff, but I also think that stuff doesn't "just work" the way it's supposed to.
I don't expect solutions to any of the following, I'm just presenting them as examples of stuff I've had to troubleshoot in the last couple of months:

I don't expect solutions to any of the following, I'm just presenting them as examples of stuff I've had to troubleshoot in the last couple of months:
- DetectX detects changes that didn't actually take place.
- iMazing suddenly stops backing up my iPhone and iPad even though they're connected to my iMac every night with the same cables.
- The latest version of Gstreamer doesn't work on a Mac.
- My certified HomeKit devices are frequently updating or not responding requiring manual intervention to turn stuff on or off.
- I have to reboot my AppleTV to watch CBSN streaming. This doesn't happen with any other streaming service.
- My wife's right AirPod suddenly stopped working when paired with her iPhone or AppleWatch. It works fine with my iPad.
- Now Playing suddenly stopped working on my Apple Watch. (Thanks for the solution, Ian!)
- Apple produces support page URLs that can't be reached by any browser. (These are the ones with en-th in the URL which you will get only if you or your IP address is in Thailand.)
- App Store complains insufficient disk space to update exactly two apps. Every other app updates just fine.
- iPad Battery app stops showing battery usage by app.
- Mysterious "[blank] wants to access key 'mgn' in your keychain" appears now and then on iMac.
- When I edit a Note shared with my wife I get a notice that she edited it.
- The junk mail filter in Mail doesn't work very well.
- PathFinder doesn't change directories when clicking on an icon in the sidebar.
I could go on, but surely that's enough.
