I understand what's going on but how does asking the user for permission help? They're just going to click accept, ok, whatever to continue working. I doubt the user will even understand what's going on.

- flohofwoe 4y agoIn that case the machine would be locked and no new USB connections should be accepted in locked state? And if the computer isn't locked during your bathroom break, the "bad actor" can do whatever he wants anyway, including clicking the Ok button after inserting the USB device. But in general, yeah, an USB popup is the least of Ventura's problems (the much bigger problem is the slow but steady "iOS-ification" of macOS).

- eviks 4y ago> Until you get back and unlock the device then show the popup at unlock! still doesn't explain the usefulness of the original popup

- MichaelZuo 4y agoThe popup still appears even if the computer was unlocked the entire time.

- ultrarunner 4y agoIt's not hard for a device to reenumerate with a different device descriptor. With Ventura that needs confirmation, which is probably the right response.
