Another stupid MacOS 26 Tahoe change making my life harder. In Tahoe, several USB tools I use are broken. They call `system_profiler SPUSBDataType` internally to get USB info. In Tahoe that's gone, replaced by "SPUSBHostDataType", which returns not enough info #macos #tahoe #USB #macos26
The output of "system_profiler -json SPUSBDataType" on pre-Tahoe systems.  Very useful!The equivalent output from "system_profiler -json SPUSBHostDataType" on MacOS Tahoe.  Not Useful!
