Tim Cook profile details Apple's fiscal shift into a '$2.3 trillion fortress'
I didn’t like him at first. He’s too much driven by the stock market (I thought) and less into product.So I thought.But now I feel he’s the best CEO since Jobs. And I mean anywhere. Maybe Musk is more innovative but Cook is an incredible operations focussed CEO. And Apple has been extremely innovative under his reign. I can’t imagine the jobs era, had it continued, being better. It would have been different though.

State of Apple Silicon - half of the most popular Mac apps still need Rosetta
I have one, they are lightning fast. And battery life is amazing. Also you contradicted yourself in one sentence there.darkvader said:I touched a M1 Mac today for the first time.S L O W.Completely what I expected, but with all the "no, really, they're fast" hype, I thought maybe I'd be wrong.Nope. They're slow.Buy an Intel Mac while you still can.

macOS Sudo vulnerability could give root privileges to any local user
For most people what matters and is private to them is on their home folder, not on root anyway. If I guy is at my computer because he has my password he can get in everywhere, no touchID needed., just unlock a keychain.JustSomeGuy1 said:bulk001 said:Thankfully, I am just not important enough for anyone to want to physically access my Mac and hack it. Even if they did, nothing much to see here. Dissidents from places like Saudi Arabia, Iran or China might want to be more careful ...Physical access is not required. You just need "local access". That means you need to be able to run code, or get a shell, and then you have root. It's one half of the holy grail- the other half is gaining non-privileged local access.Of course with catalina and big sur things are more complicated because of the protected boot volume. So it's harder to be persistent. But not by much.
Its a bit harder if he hasn't my password but even then he can get lots of information on me in my email, or notes. Nothing is locked, except the odd Note. I have passport photos and probably bank account details stored somewhere on the home folder.

They aren’t that simple. That’s the problem. They are written in unsafe languages like C and C++ where memory management was up to the code writer.auxio said:Given how long these tools have been around (40+ years in some cases), how relatively simple the code is compared to modern software, and the fact that they're used in server environments, I'm very surprised they haven't been fully security audited by now.

Jeff Bezos to step down as Amazon CEO, AWS chief Andy Jassy to fill role in Q3
Their algorithms for what you might like also need some tweaking. I ordered a TV via Amazon and they were convinced for weeks I was a dedicated TV collector and wanted to buy dozens more.roundaboutnow said:Maybe now the new guy can get something done about their search, filter and sort features. Maybe it's just me, but it's often hard to get good results. One example is a simple sort by price, low-to-high. You'll get items with a higher price at the top of the list if they happen to have a lower "used" price somewhere (even if you filter for only "new" items). Also, some items cheat the system with a low sales price, and a high shipping price, with no E-Bay style method of sorting by combined price+shipping.
