Neat! I thought it was odd that I was able to SSH into my Mac after upgrading to Tahoe the other night – part of me wondered if I actually hit that "Upgrade" button before walking away. This is a welcome change though; I don't usually shut my Mac down but there have been a few times where I'm working away from home and need to SSH into my Mac only to remember that I'd installed some major update the night before.
- watusername 1y agoIIRC macOS upgrades will automatically store a FileVault token (basically `fdesetup authrestart`) before restarting, so the disk is automatically unlocked. It's not a Tahoe-specific thing.
- nozzlegear 1y agoOh I didn't know that, interesting to learn in hindsight. Thanks!
