The URL mentioned in sibling comments suggests this has to do with certificate revocation (OCSP): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Certificate_Status_Prot... I agree that breaking system availability when an OCSP server isn't available is user-hostile and unnecessary.
What’s the alternative tho?

#152I did experience a very strange slowdown earlier today, and other odd behavior - first, a massive slowdown and then on a reboot, the keyboard wasn't found. After some tinkering, it's all better now - though I don't know that the tinkering actually did anything.

#155Unbelievable. When I read the tweet (tried to post here as well), I suddenly realized why my Mac was unresponsive an hour ago. Here is another tweet that describes the problem in more detail: https://mobile.twitter.com/llanga/status/1326989724704268289 > I am currently unable to work because macOS sends hashes of every opened executable to some server of theirs and when `trustd` and `syspolicyd` are unable to do so,…
I started panicking mildly thinking my drive was failing or something. And just before this, I finally managed to fix Spotlight pegging one core at 100% constantly. Next thing, I reboot into a laggy system. macOS is my favorite OS, but the shit I put up with... it's basically an abusive relationship at this point.
Apple folks in this thread, this was terrible

#156Maybe it's just me but the idea that my computer lets Apple (+ any LE organizations) surveil my app launches seems so much scarier than any malware.
Why is it scary that your computer checks for malware? It’s not like Apple us building a database of apps you’ve launched linked to your address and social security number.

#158You should never, ever, install a MacOS update the moment it comes out. There is a high chance (> 30% from my experience) that something will be wrong with it. iOS too for that matter. Wait for at least one week and check out other people's experiences first.
I ran the beta over the summer and it was awful. I loved the changes but it was just unstable as hell. And people kept saying it was the most stable is yet, I don’t get it.

#159Apple software quality and design is a joke.
Maybe so, but please don't post unsubstantive comments here. We're trying for something a bit different. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html
