Major Security Flaw in MacOS 10.13

[Foxscotch]

Apple really doesn't give 2 stuffs about security, its all about having a cool looking interface for them. It's just like a while back when you could bypass the lockscreen to get into anyones iPhone.

they're hacking into youre loving Brain

despite how incomprehensible/oddly worded the post above me is, hes right about apple losing its touch after jobs passed. its a big company but nothing since his death has really caught headlines in any serious way

I'll bet most of you didn't even know that theres an Imac pro now https://www.apple.com/ca/imac-pro/

"apple cant be hacked"

[Mr Queeba]

to elaborate, pretty much the patch breaks with the new update, and then if you re-apply the patch, it won't work until you restart your mac, and you aren't even warned that you have to restart your system. sure is one big mess-up.

[Mr Queeba]

actually, seems like apple has really been having a bad week in general.

summary from article:
-critical root security bug discovered in high sierra
-a sierra update was released, but it broke file sharing
-a date bug has caused some iphones running ios 11 to crash
-the high sierra root bug fix didn't install correctly on some systems
-ios 11.2 was released early to fix the crash bug

now queeba i respect your stance and i understand the severity of this issue but i feel like apple could save 10 orphans and a puppy from a burning building and you'd still find a way to make it a bad thing

unless they bill them for it, that's a good thing.

nope, not el capitan, not sierra, not yosemite. just high sierra.
