All of our USB hubs, printers, and more are working just fine with
multiple different model Macs running 14.4. What are we doing wrong?
Rather than being a gullible rube who blindly believes every
sensational clickbait hit piece you read, you may want to consider
that the people who post these articles have a monetary interest in
making relatively small issues appear to be larger and more wide
spread than they actually are - because getting more clicks literally
makes them more money.
Ars Technica is fairly respectable. The author of the article states
that his machine was not affected but others are affected (with links
to Apple and reddit).
I didn't claim there is no issue - just that media has an incentive to sensationalize it. Even Ars Technica wants more clicks, because it
literally pays their bills. And it's a well-known fact that news about
Apple gets clicks, and negative news about Apple gets the most clicks.
BTW, the OP, Ant, posted about this with a frowny face - but I can
virtually guarantee you he isn't having these problems on his own Macs.

Oracle is not really a relevant source for a decision to avoid or
execute Mac-updates. They should try to get their act together.
Eh, what? Oracle own Java. They're the most relevant source of information >> for java issues.
I did not say anything else. Learn to read and understand. Oracle is irrelevant for Mac-users.
