curious: the bootable 12.1 installer won't boot my 8c last-of-the-x64 rMBP machine after a full internal drive wipe. it insists on internet recovery.
macs become less trustworthy by the day.
astounding to me that the tech press hasn't picked up on the fact that 12.1 is still shipping scaffolding for clientside privacy destruction by scanning your local files.
@sneak Trustworthy? When 10.13 came out it permitted root login without password: https://twitter.com/lemiorhan/status/935581020774117381
Man, they've even released the CPU which allows interprocess data exchange, bypassing all the sandboxes.
UI design aside, software-wise Apple's been steadily rolling downhill at least since 10.4
@sneak I get it, trustworthy ≠ secure. I believe it's a matter of approach in general: less attention to detail = more bugs and inconsistencies. It's all the same in the hardware dept. I had a late 2011 17" MBP, this model came out with faulty GPUs. Apple refused to even acknowledge the problem first, but announced replacement program for this model in 2014 — in three years. Apple is hit or miss nowadays. I respect you having your own opinion though, I don't insist on mine.
@m0xee i also don't agree with your basic premise having just given them six thousand dollars for their fastest available machine
