@rorysutherland Get a washing machine that has a tank that you fill up once every 30 washes with the two products, then you don't worry about it being in the cupboard anymore. Its the boiling water tap, air fryer of the washing machine world, once you have it you don't go back.

@DanNeidle I think the words "own goal" work here

@tomtweettime @DanNeidle They do tax the money on the way into the pension in Australia.

@Carnage4Life @neilquinn @stratechery MacOS has all but removed kernel level drivers since the M series processors. If you want to run in the kernel now you have to boot to an insecure mode, which no one does.

@moving_charlie You are double counting, you can’t count a deflation of the notional and the repayment part of the mortgage, it’s one or the other.

@ITStudiosi @MartinDotNet I said they don’t use kext anymore, you said can I read? I didn’t say they aren’t spy ware or can’t crash your system

@ITStudiosi @MartinDotNet macOS 10.15 or later enables developers to extend the capabilities of macOS by installing and managing system extensions that run in user space rather than at the kernel level. By running in user space, system extensions increase the stability and security of macOS.

@m4rkchapman @allenholub I guess Apple took the "sue me then" approach to the anti-trust argument. But also with less MacOS penetration in the market its a harder anti-trust argument to make for MacOS.

[Tim Seaward @TimSeaw]

@m4rkchapman @allenholub Actually Mac shut the walled garden on them running in the kernel around the time of the M1 roll out. Crowdstrike runs in user space with APIs on MacOS these days.

[Tim Seaward @TimSeaw]

@0xF2 @SwiftOnSecurity I believe the Mac one isn’t in the kernel anyway.

[Tim Seaward @TimSeaw]

@ics_blitz @shuv1337 I truly find it weird that a product with such reach is just rolled out to everyone all at once, surely a phased approach for a product with such reach is the norm. It certainly is with OS patches etc. this seems to be a process issue totally disregarding the bug

@bcantrill @ahl @RajaXg Don’t forget NPUs now!

[Tim Seaward @TimSeaw]

@davidfowl Congrats!

@navtejbassi @Victoria_Spratt @Hamptons1869 Or a net gain for f 250k homes for people to buy to live in is the other way of looking at it.

[Tim Seaward @TimSeaw]

@BenWhoLikesBeer @davidfowl We would also pay for a full blown vs on MacOS what we don’t want is to have to run parallels etc to get VS. I haven’t tried devkit for vscode but will try it out.

[Tim Seaward @TimSeaw]

@BenWhoLikesBeer @davidfowl There is different levels of “paying” though as well. Azure has the best .net story and we pay there, but we want to use MacOS on the dev side.
