Some of these items seem like they need more analysis, and that the report was rushed. We agree as a community that hard coded default passwords are bad when unchanged, but that implies that the device doesn't require them to be change

It's Electron, and that does bring memory concerns, but it is really fast. It's the first electron app I've used that has convinced me that a well-built electron app can exist, if you put the work into it. It's as snappy

I love Superhuman, and I do think the hype is deserved. It has a few innovative features (like split inboxes and an entirely keyboard focused UI), but the real appeal is polish. It really is fast, but it's consistent and that's th

You can use Command + Option + R to boot internet recovery instead of the on-disk recovery. That'll download and install the latest version of the operating system associated with your Mac. On the 2fa front: if you only have one Apple

Even if you go through the g.co/advancedprotection onboarding process, they still say account recovery is possible and that it would take 3-5 days extra. Granted, it's not easy, but it's much easier to buy security keys and p
