About johnny_b_g

Like many other sites where members can comment and "vote" on others' comments, HN is clearly full of Apple apologist fanboiz (or similar for other tech, like Bitcoin) given all the downvotes I see on perfectly reasoned and legitimate comments that get removed/hidden, or constant posts whining about supposed posting rule violations (with said whining posts themselves being rule violations).

Clearly this site is run by elitist, free-speech hating tech Japettos.

    While the OP is referring to a "work" machine, I feel their setup is besides the point - it's the fact that it's auto-joining a synced-in Wifi that's the issue... Essentially, what…

    While it could be said that the user shouldn't be mixing a "home" keychain (iCloud) account on a "work" machine, perhaps their work have a BYOD policy, and/or perhaps a policy of u…

    I got bit by this myself not too long ago; glad to see it getting some traction from someone at Apple, even though it's from the totally wrong department.

    This totally ignores the greediness in capitalism, which cryptocurrencies exemplifies (there's no problems they actually solve, except the problem of how to make the rich richer)
