    This is a real first world problem. With the recent ransomware attacks it has become clear how easily we can be taken down without a shot fired. Just look what happens in these forums when a glitch in some Apple service takes things down. People here start running around with their hair on fire about how their ‘workflow’ has been disrupted, how they are dead in the water, and how incompetent Apple is.

    Two nights ago we had a one hour power outage in our neighborhood (tree limb fell on a line). It was like an ant hill on fire with people out in the street, police cars driving around, waiting for the power company to fix it. Luckily the cellphone network was up so one could tether their computer to their phone.

    Imagine the chaos if a bad actor nation decided to take everything down at once. If they can take pipelines and hospitals down then what’s the limit? Is the United States’ data network really that vulnerable?
    Apparently here in Texas all we need is a snowstorm.

  • This is why Apple TV 4K Siri Remote scrubbing doesn't work on Disney+, other apps

    Sigh, “Disney+ told The Verge that it plans to develop scrubbing support if and when Apple opens access to control APIs.” . Didn’t they choose to not use the Apple APIs instead using some hair-brained scheme their developers said would work. The ego of these senior developers will ruin corporate IT.

  • HBO Max ditches tvOS API for homegrown solution, chaos ensues

    The developers I worked with were notoriously adverse to any code they didn’t write themselves and will make any excuse to rewrite code so it’ll be written “the right way”. They invariably mess things up and the code always ended up as a 1.0 release mess with bugs and deficiencies.  I’m guessing there’s a bit of this going on although the cross platform suggestions in these comments sounds right too.

    One wonders why EU based corporations aren’t dominant in the EU.

    Interesting that the Mac has now become the the computer for "Serious" computer users and Windows/PC the computer for those that play games.
    Nice logic there!  Because Windows excels at gaming, you're consensus is that no one uses it for "serious" computing?  Tell that to the 90+ percent of businesses that use Windows servers and clients for their business.  How many businesses would you estimate use Mac to run their business (accounting, HR, management, etc.)...you know the real "serious" stuff?
    Sure, Windows business computing like waiting for virus scanning to complete, living in fear of whether your system will boot after the weekly MS OS fix update, hours of researching what tedious registry manipulations are needed to make your system work correctly, wondering what the heck is on your computer screen after corporate IT pushed out their monthly changes. Yeah, Windows Business Computing.
