  • Foxconn refutes report on China factory restart timeline

    My understanding is when China says restart, then the factories will be back in business.  Until then, it’s just wishful thinking...

    The only thing Foxconn can tell you is the progress of moving production outside of China.

  • Mac malware outpaced Windows PCs threats for first time in 2019, report says

    I wonder what infection rate would be if all Mac software had to be installed through the App Store...
    That's precisely why the default is/should be ONLY Mac App Store and Notarized Apps can be installed. If you bypass it, you're accepting responsibilty for the consequences.

    I've never caugh a virus/malware on any of my machines, neither macOS nor Windows because I'm paranoid as can be and I never got into the pirated software scene. Other than a modicum of open-source software that I've built from source, everything on my machines is from the App Store, Adobe or SetApp.
    Windows would like you to do the same thing, install apps only from the official Microsoft Store. In fact it will insistently warn you that the program you are installing may be unsafe when it was securely downloaded directly from a trusted software provider, advising you should not proceed and visit Microsoft instead.  If they could they'd force everyone to deal only with Apple and Microsoft and use only what they provided. Fortunately for us they can't without straying across antitrust lines. 
    The difference is Microsoft’s Store is garbage.

  • Sprint and T-Mobile merger gets federal approval

    I bet Sprints argument was “we’re such a poorly run company, if we don’t merge we’ll go bankrupt”. So, here’s no reduced competition because there’d be one less carrier anyways.
