Been saying this forever. USB-C is just a vulnerability waiting to be exploited, since it comes with it's own controller, which has access to the system internals. Including RAM and other hardware.

Pushing hard? The new ARM based Mac Pros don't even support GPUs. Even Steam gave up on macOS and CS:GO is no longer supported. People who have time to play games the whole day are kids. Their parents ain't buying them a $2K Mac to game. If Apple seriously wants to get into gaming, either they need to target the kid segment or the tech enthusiast. The current Macs target a working professional and so that is where they sell

I can't help but think that important pieces of information are missing from the story but if a contract is signed that specifically allows for these practices to happen, perhaps the root problem is right there waiting to be exploited. 

Small companies get enamored by being suppliers to large volume buyers, like Apple and so end up signing these one sided contracts. Specially in poor Asian countries, where being such a supplier means a change in fortune

Come on Apple, it’s your chance to win over some consumer trust. Fight for the small guy

What does the osascript fake password prompt look like? I guess it’s just low tech gimmi your password…

It looks like any other password prompt. There are many ways to trigger one. IIRC a bash script with "sudo" in it, will trigger one

What bullshit. Either get rid of copyright or stop whining. 

Needs a better name tbh. iHostage is soo 2002 now

Typical ad execs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Zuck wants to zuck up all the user data he can get his hands on ... not surprising

Apple did restrict everyone else from their NFC hardware. Wallet apps may just have a standing here. Customers were harmed and were unable to use anything but Apple's own solutions
