This is so tempting, but I still struggle to make it over the privacy bump. I'm extremely bothered by the stuff I've seen stating that apple phone homes everytime I run an application.
- nottorp 6y agoYou should research what Microsoft and Google send home then. You'll swear off computing entirely. The problem with Apple verifying app signatures online each run is their implementation was crap and made Mac OS slow down to a crawl when they had problems. Incompetence not malice :)
- BryantD 6y agoI think it's smart to be concerned and smart to make your own decisions about what you're comfortable with. For what it's worth: Mac OS doesn't phone home on every app open. The result is cached on your computer for a few days[1]; this behavior was lightly confirmed by an independent researcher[2]. I don't think the caching really addresses the core concern. Apple has promised to provide an opt-out sometime in the next year[3], which is a superior fix. I personally will be keeping an eye on that committment.
