Your Feedback is Important to Improving Accessibility on Apple platforms

Don't assume that Apple is aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference - submitting bug reports directly to the company helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. Your report may provide crucial information. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority they give to fixing the bug.

If you're using a beta version, use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you're using a public release, follow the instructions on this page.

What exactly did you do to install the beta?
Can you tell us what steps you followed?
I've installed the beta and I haven't had any problems, apart from some complications with XCode when running applications from source code, nothing that an xcode select wouldn't fix.

but there is not status bar to connect to internet, I removed macOS and I am in recovery, no dice, my mac is locked.

I actually cannot follow along Pax' posts at all. Not sure if this is a bug or what's exactly going on there.

Words like "done" My Mom fixed it, with no information seems to me they might not be as great a mac user as they might appear. We all need help but either give us enough information to help or try another avenue because you need to be descriptive if you are asking for us to give you any chance of fixing it yourself and becoming a better computer user.

I could not understand anything that human said. Well, I guess that’s what happen when you install Developer beaters when it’s in express stage. That’s why I’m waiting for the public beta for when not all but most of the issues are sort of stamped out. I will install on my iPad six in MacBook Air M1

I tried but I just don't get his posts. Like, what is going on? I don't exactly get what is the bug or what happened, and without more information it only makes this more difficult.

there are a few issues with the menu extra's (status bar) on Mac.
First, you are only able to access 3rd party apps, such as dropbox, and VOCR and other apps like those.
remember, you can always connect to wifi in the control center, or go to system settings.

I believe the difficulty he had was to access the extras menu to connect to wifi. I had exactly that same problem when I tried clean resetting my Apple Silicon Chip Mac. Remember that I was looking all around but saw no option to set up wifi in the regular menu (VO m once) as one of you suggested here. Eventually I had to do some very quirky clunky manoeuvres with the trackpad to click the correct wifi icon on the extras menu. What a nightmare as with my expectation from apple products 😅. But needless to say at least I could manage on my own, rather having no speech at all 😜.
