  • Microsoft found a macOS exploit that could completely bypass System Integrity Protection

    JamesBrickleyJamesBrickley
    Microsoft has yet to patch a very serious Secure Boot vulnerability on PC's.  Apparently, fixing it will break perhaps millions of PCs.

    Once the fixes have been enabled, your PC will no longer be able to boot from older bootable media that doesn't include the fixes. On the lengthy list of affected media: Windows install media like DVDs and USB drives created from Microsoft's ISO files; custom Windows install images maintained by IT departments; full system backups; network boot drives including those used by IT departments to troubleshoot machines and deploy new Windows images; stripped-down boot drives that use Windows PE; and the recovery media sold with OEM PCs.

  • Former Apple buyer sentenced to three years in prison for $17 million fraud conspiracy

    JamesBrickleyJamesBrickley
    This is nothing new and certainly not unique to Apple.  Pratt & Whitney who manufacture jet engines caught a series of employees in a conspiracy. They were stealing hundreds of millions by making inventory disappear and selling it to airlines around the world.  Mostly parts but sometimes entire engines. They then pocketed the proceeds.

    Truly awful and depressing show...  I didn't make it past a few episodes before I gave up.

  • No hardware debuts during WWDC 2021 keynote, says leaker

    JamesBrickleyJamesBrickley
    New hardware can drop at any time when Apple is ready. They will just have a smaller event like they did for the M1 launch.  It could happen next month or this fall, etc. Remember, they are planning to update the entire Mac lineup by the end of 2022.  For many tasks right now the M1 is doing extremely well. A beefier updated version with more cores, RAM, GPU is coming.  We just have to be patient.  For me, I can breathe a sigh of relief that the most popular MBP line isn't going away just yet. Thus giving corporate more time to buy up the remaining Intel 16" models.  Most corporate and student MDM environments are not ready for Apple Silicon just yet.  There's a lot of legacy software still taking their sweet time to produce Universal Apps, etc. If they do ship 16" MBP with Apple Silicon M1X / M2 or whatever they decide to call the new SoC designs, I hope they still sell the Intel models for a bit longer.  At least a year longer.

  • Uber's Head of PR walked away from an Apple job offer

    JamesBrickleyJamesBrickley
    Apple PR wouldn't be a challenge.  Now Uber? Yeah, that's a challenge.  They have a soiled public image with serious challenges.
