Definitely impressive, but I just feel deeply disappointed that to get access to this great new promised performance, it comes at the expense of privacy and security with Big Sur. Still, looking forward to real sustained benchmarks.
I'm referring to the phoning home issue that was raised on HN recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25095972 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25095972
If I'm incorrect in my understanding, would appreciate additional context and or information!
- RandallBrown 6y agoWhat are the privacy and security problems with Big Sur?

- lawnchair_larry 6y agoUnfortunately half of this article is factually incorrect. It’s also not new in Big Sur.
- oddevan 6y agoThere’s further discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25095438 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25095438 Essentially: the phoning home is checking hashes of developer certificates to make sure they aren’t revoked.
