Since when did corporations care? Most seem to just pay their insurance premium for cyber liability and call it a day.

There is a difference between leaking user accounts and passwords and getting your business destroyed overnight entirely.

Imagine if an AI can infiltrate your SaaS database and delete your entire database and every single backup. The business is dead immediately.

Did that happen to a lot of companies during the log4shell fiasco? I'm sure some companies had their permissions misconfigured in a way such that a malicious actor who could execute code on their servers could also drop their database and delete their backups.

I don't know. But the point is that anyone who has access to this model might be able to do the same thing to any company or government.

Equifax is still around.

Yup. No noxious fumes.

Roughly:

`ssh remote "cd $src/repo ; git diff" | git apply`

(You'll need to season to taste: what to do with staged changes, how to make sure both trees are in the same HEAD, etc)

12 year old me would have sold their skateboard AND their bike to have a magic Patiently Explain Anything And Everything To Me robot instead of the mostly-impenetrable-to-my-tween-brain software engineering books I had access to in my town.

exactly... I had a hard time learning in the 90's with whatever I could scrape together for tools and books with no adults or public school system to help me.

No mention of auto renewal is made as far as I (and Claude) could determine.

Their OSS offer is first-hit-is-free.

At the same time, at least to me, the text reads like a transcript from one of their YouTube tear downs.

There are those times we may be seeing the source of LLM language training. I had the same reaction of sounding like one but agree it's likely not.

Before anyone downvotes this guy, spend some time on the official Apple support forum.

I can't point at a bug that I've seen addressed in subsequent OS releases.

Seizure-inducing HDMI flickering from Night Shift. Finder Trash not supporting put-back _sometimes_. Printers becoming permanently "paused" sporadically, or worse, very consistently. Mouse lag/stuttering because you used "the wrong USB port." Apple photos libraries corrupting themselves with no recovery paths.

It would be strictly better to just not have the forum, then shouting sorrows into the void would feel more solitary.

I hit issues in MacOS on a monthly basis, and have been for years.

Not once have I hit an issue that wasn't documented and left unresolved on Apple's for over 3 years.

Countless of issues are not being resolved. I stopped submitting detailed and reproducible bug reports a while ago.

I basically don’t care anymore. Timeline consistently pinkscreens my laptop.

I just don’t give a f anymore. I barely run any Apple software on my Mac.

The only reason I stop use it, is because I have not spent the energy into researching:

- performant + long battery laptop with a good build quality

- disk encryption + while on X attempts

- good trackpad

The rest, the os, the shortcuts, I can change or adapt.

Currently profitable? Many are old enough to have a generic, and are close to the cost of aspirin at this point.

Edited to say at the time. Yeah once people get started on these drugs their doctors keeps them on it.

I suspect an LLM would read the instructions more thoroughly than a human.

So if there are only brown M&Ms greeting you in your dressing room, most likely they were put there by a robot.
