Par for the course with Apple. Apps in macOS never crash, they merely exhibit unexpected behaviours.
- mmastrac 6y agoeg: unexpectedly closing with no message.
- leeoniya 6y ago> unexpected "off-nominal"
- ehsankia 6y agoI don't care if it's not correct, I just like how "non-nominal" sounds.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoIt eventually leads to "rapid unscheduled termination".
- boogies 6y agoEww, not “termination”, that sounds harsh … maybe “exit” or “closure”?
- leeoniya 6y agothe term is "rapid unplanned disassembly" also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_flight_into_terrain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controlled_flight_into_terrain
- marcosdumay 6y agoOh, wait... That linked name is completely reasonable and descriptive. It's not like the others.
- leeoniya 6y agohas a better ring to it than "crashing into the side of a mountain"
- TeMPOraL 6y agoSee also: lithobraking.
- marcosdumay 6y agoIt doesn't mean "crashing into the side of a mountain". It means "flying normally, into a path that ends on the side of a mountain". That "flying normally" part is really relevant.
- leeoniya 6y agowell, yes, it also means that. nothing in that statement implies that crashing was not preceded by normal, controlled flight. the term "crash" has no innate implication besides violent impact. though, yes, in actual use it often implies "accidental" and/or "uncontrolled".
- marcosdumay 6y agoIt is a specific term that means the aircraft was flying normally all the way until it reached the ground. Yes, "crashing on the side of a mountain" is also a correct description of the same event. But those two phrases do not have the same meaning.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoSpecifically, CFIT is a subset of "crashing into a mountain" where the aircraft was under control all the way until terminal lithobraking. It's implied the last part is usually unexpected, otherwise it would be avoided.
- munificent 6y agoAutomatically engaged energy saver mode.

- tomovo 6y agoApps never crash. They just go on vacations. Then they return with their default screens, rested and ready to work again.
- throWaythxMod 6y agoAnd "privacy"- meanwhile their App store is full of spyware. Not that Android is better, but at least they aren't marketing it.
- adventured 6y ago> And "privacy"- meanwhile their App store is full of spyware. If Apple tightly controls their store, Apple bad. If Apple doesn't tightly control their store, Apple bad. The unavoidable consequence of being really big - a large number of people will be unhappy with your decisions no matter what you do.
- dkersten 6y agoIf Apple claim to tightly control their store because of privacy and security, but then don't deliver, then yes, Apple bad. If apple doesn't tightly control their store and doesn't claim to protect your privacy or security through their store, then no, they're not bad. Its about not meeting the expectations they, themselves, set based on their claims.
- 1f60c 6y agoYou can’t claim that, and not provide any evidence at all.
- breakingcups 6y agoWas literally told this by an Apple "Genius" when I took my dad's MacBook in for what was obviously (and did indeed turn out to be) faulty ram.
- rvz 6y agoThat's the reality distortion spells kicking in right there by Apple's marketing wizards.
