Champions of privacy, phoning home a hash of every executable your computer runs!
What’s the matter with privacy? That’s a basic signature check, and you can do so while preserving privacy by using salted hashes or a similar solution.
Again, it turns out that Stallman[1] and others[2] were prescient. [1] https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/can-you-trust.en.html [2] https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~rja14/tcpa-faq.html

This is the future Apple wants I guess, you don't really own your hardware, you simply have a limited license to use it under their very strict terms. It's just a matter of time before Macs become just like iOS.
Basically Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro might forever be faster than any 3rd party software package by having access to IP blocks that aren't exposed to other developers complete with signature check to prevent reverse-engineered use...

It's just sad that we don't have the corresponding form factor in a similar laptop. The biggest draw of mac: 1. slim, light 2. long battery life. 3. track pad. That's all I want, but nobody else offers it on the same spec, the difference is even bigger with M1.
What's wrong with a Thinkpad?
Sincerely and without any intention to troll or be sarcastic: I'm puzzled that people are willing buy a computer/OS where (apparently) software can/will fail to launch if some central company server goes down. Maybe I'm just getting this wrong, because I can honestly not quite wrap my head around this. This is such a big no-go, from a systems design point of view. Even beyond unintentional glitches at Apple, just ima…

> software can/will fail to launch if some central company server goes down The central company server didn't go down. If it was down there would be no problem. The problem is that the server is slow.

This is a soft failure. If the computer didn't have access to the Internet, it would still open.
Unbelievable. 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,…
