Wait what happens if you don't have an internet connection? Can Macs not be used offline any more, surely that's still a relatively common use case for a laptop even today in a lot of places?
On iOS, after a period of disconnection "the phone won't let you turn it on again until it goes online": https://youtu.be/BW32yUEymvU?t=1212

It's even simpler than people not caring, people don't know.
Furthermore, if you’re one of the few who do know and it bothers you, you can turn it off.
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…
My MacBook is basically unusable right now. This appears to be the reason. Is there any way to fix it without installing little snitch? Edit: working as usual now, moments after i wrote this. But seriously Apple, how can you allow this to happen? Your services hanging should _never_ prevent my device from running things locally. This is seriously making me reconsider my next computer purchase.
System76 is pretty great and they have amazing customer support. Plus between ProtonDB / Lutris you can run pretty much anything you want that needed Windows before. https://system76.com/laptops

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,…
I keep reading in the tweets how all Macs are unusable. Is this an OS bug that doesn't effect older OSes? I'm on Mojave on my 2017 MBP, and have had zero issues at all. When was `trustd` introduced?
I think you were just lucky to not open non-Apple applications during the outage.

As an Apple user of 10 years: I had no idea macos phones home like this.
That's one potential issue, if you have privacy concerns. But the real problem here is that there's a blatant bug in the phone-home code that causes apps to crash if Apple's servers have a problem.
I feel like even Richard Stallman would have had a hard time imagining non-free operating systems would result in this. Use linux folks! It doesn't communicate with a third party when a process starts up!
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.
I do not use track pads for actual work so I can't compare but I've heard that you can't really beat the Mac ones.
