This is why Windows NT ensures no user process can intercept Ctrl-Alt-Del.

#122Not to pile on, but my MBP (with "TouchBar" which will assuredly not exist in another year) is always in clamshell mode and connected to two external LG 4K displays. Whether, on which screen(s), or in what state the Mac wakes each morning is completely random. Sometimes it doesn't wake at all. Sometimes I have artifacts on one screen and a desktop on another screen. The sleep/wake sequence is a complete mess, and it…
I also have trouble keeping mac windows where I left them with external displays attached.
I invested $15 in stay https://cordlessdog.com/stay/
I would not say the problem is solved (it's not going to solve artifacts, etc), but it helped me.

Do you know why he has such an aversion to HN?
No -- I don't know him personally -- but I would guess that he thinks it's a pile of amoral greed-heads and ignorant children.
amoral greed-heads and ignorant children.
Basically HN is him when he worked for Netscape and he doesn't like the reminder...

#124Say what you want about Windows, but no amount of sneakery can steal input focus from Winlogon window station (yes, there's a separate kernel object for that in NT/Win32K).

Yes, the manner of disclosure reflects the respect one has for the software vendor. https://twitter.com/mholt6/status/935687749381775362 Responsible disclosure is more or less earned as your resources go to infinity.
Who can respect a vendor that assigns engineers to work on the animated poop icon instead of basic security?
contrary to what you may believe, some people need to work on content and should not be touching security. it's absurd to expect apple to fire all their non-security related staff and replace them with a whole organization of engineers that only work on basic security.
I do agree that apple has had a ton of problems in this area and needs to work on it, but this example is very played out and boring.

Well, he isn't exactly wrong. But redirecting like that is pretty immature in itself.

Yes because I'm sure those same people are also able to work on security.

And now I'm sad. This was one of the reasons I never adopted Linux on a laptop. Power management simply never worked. I used Windows for many years on a ThinkPad with Linux in a VM but this felt dirty. Bought a Mac and life was good. Well it was until 10.13. 50% of wake up events I have to log in to a trashed desktop now. It makes me long for a computer nailed to a bit of ethernet that is never turned off. Edit: also…
Are you connecting to an external monitor? Sleep Wake still works fine for me. The other thing is that I didn't import anything from backup. It's a clean install.
Nope just internal screen. This was a clean install too. On 2013 rMBP.

#130I'm always worried about this too... sometimes my session doesn't lock because I was watching a video and I go ahead and type my password before looking when I come back (some websites log all keystrokes).
