IIRC, when the M1 first came out, there were a bunch of people saying their SSDs were being worn out super quickly, citing SMART statistics. Perhaps this safari process was the culprit?
- concinds 5y ago> Perhaps this safari process was the culprit? No, for many people it was Rosetta apps. BTW, Apple totally lied when they said they "fixed it" in an update and it was only a "reporting issue". It's not fixed, and it was absolutely f'ing not a reporting issue. People's SSDs have already failed because of this, and obviously they're soldered.

- shawnz 5y agoI haven't seen any conclusive evidence one way or the other.
- ehutch79 5y agoI haven't actually seen any reports of SSDs actually dying. Can you provide some links? SSDs dying in less than a year of typical use is a huge deal.

I don't see any reports but there is evidence that should the soldered on SSD fail the entire device is borked short of board level repair.
- emkoemko 5y agowow Safari is the IE5 of browsers now, having to do so many work arounds like we used to have to do with IE5 and now its killing hardware that you can't even replace.
- NicoJuicy 5y agoIE never killed hardware. It kept legacy Enterprise technologie alive ( eg. ActiveX )
- rimliu 5y agoChrome is IE of browsers now. 20+ years ago nobody cared about non-IE, today nobody cares about non-Chrome.
- nicoburns 5y agoChrome is the IE of browsers with respect to being the dominant player approaching monopoly status. Safari is the IE of browsers with respect to being buggy and behind on features with a slower release schedule. IE was both and more extreme on both issues.
- jolux 5y agoIt’s only “behind” relative to Chrome, the dominant browser which more or less sets the standards these days. Calling Safari “behind” is judging browsers by how similar to Chrome they are.
- nicoburns 5y agoAlso Firefox and even Edge when the IE version was being developed. They've also refused to implement features which would bring web apps in line with the the capabilities of native iOS apps (things like push notifications, offline support with data that doesn't get cleared every 7 days).
- raihansaputra 5y agoUnsure whether it's Safari related, but it was solved on a regular macOS update. I didn't recall any specific Safari update, but I might miss it.
