When my MBP is NOT connected to an external monitor the "about this computer" shows in the details/description only one graphics card: the Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536MB. Something about a stronger, more "battery-sucking" graphics card that kicks in once connected to an external monitor. I've read about 2017 MBP having a similar issue. I'm connected to the monitor via an Apple USB-C to HDMI converter, and the monitor has its own power source so I don't understand why the MacBook is working so hard, especially when I'm only browsing the internet and using Word/Excel. Whenever I connect the MBP to an external monitor (I happen to have the Dell S2718D), the battery drains very quickly (like, one percent every 1-2 minutes or so), and the computer physically becomes pretty hot (in the upper right hand quadrant of the computer). 2.2GHz, 16GB RAM, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536MB. We already knew about the web browsing and Google account ID flaw being patched ahead of time as it arrived with the RC versions of iOS 15.3 and macOS 12.2 However, Apple has now detailed the full list of security patches with documentation available for macOS 12.2.Hello, I have the newest 2018 MBP 15" with Touch Bar. macOS 12.2 patches 13 serious security bugs ranging from the Safari web browsing leak to a flaw that can give malicious apps access to root privileges, kernel privileges, iCloud data, and more. Inside of Apple’s latest update for Mac are fixes for a wide range of security flaws. If you haven’t yet updated, don’t let this delay you: 12.2 patches 13 major security flaws. Of course, if you use the machine in clamshell mode with Magic Keyboard/Trackpad/Mouse, you’ll need to open it first to re-enable Bluetooth using the built-in trackpad. So while Apple hasn’t yet issued a fix, there is at least a clunky workaround: Switch off Bluetooth before you put the machine to sleep, and re-enable it when you wake the machine. He notes that he’s filed a RADAR report for the bug. Looking at `pmset -g log`, it seems like it spent all night waking up every few seconds for bluetooth and drained all the battery.

Apple tweeps: macOS 12.2 breaks something related with bluetooth + sleep/wake.
