Macs are fine for mass admin. Companies like Meta, SAP, and IBM have fleets numbering in the 6 figures that they manage with no issue. I manage almost a thousand Macs at a financial institution with ease. If you’re using Intune for Mac mana

You’ll still get two more years of Sequoia updates.

Persistence in modern macOS is only really possible in userspace, as the OS partition is immutable. There are only a handful of places this is possible, which are fairly easy to detect. Unless border agents are burning 0-days on random pass

This is more to do with ABM - you can add a device to ABM that wasn’t put there by a reseller/vendor/Apple. This also enrols the device, and removing the enrolment in the first 30 days also removes it from ABM again. After the 30-

On macOS the enrolment is supervised either way. You can also get a supervised enrolment on an iOS device that isn’t in any ABM instance - there is more than one path to supervision.

Lower power consumption, actual 10-foot interface rather than squinting at the TV, lower maintenance, and (depending on your OS of choice) less intrusive OS-level advertising.

I did a GCP training a while back, and the anecdote from one of the trainers was that the Cloud Storage team (GCP’s S3-compatible product) hadn’t lost a single byte of data since GCS had existed as a product. Crazy at that scale.

This is the Tesla Autopilot playbook, which seems to continue to work decently for that particular CEO

This is correct - the mechanism seems like it’s primarily for shaming developers that don’t use the new API

IIRC you can’t run updates while the laptop is asleep though, as that typically requires a user password to initiate. Even with MDM you can’t force updates during sleep

Basically, yeah. Another “free speech absolutism” media company that doesn’t want to acknowledge that some speech (e.g. Holocaust denial) is actually illegal in many countries in mainland Europe, because it’s their bread and butter to host

Target Disk Mode has a replacement on Apple Silicon, if you haven’t tried that out yet. https://support.apple.com/en-sg/guide/mac-help/mchlb37e8ca7/...

It’s sort of enforceable - Apple’s own virtualisation framework that lots of VM providers use (on Apple Silicon) actually enforces a hard cap of two guests, and won’t allow you to spawn more. With other hosts, it’s kind of an Adobe approach

You’re missing something. The Crowdstrike issue was caused by a channel update (basically a definitions update) that they pushed that broke their own sensor. Microsoft wasn’t involved in the delivery of that update.

Being verified made you trustworthy in the sense that it signified that Twitter trusted the account. If you trusted Twitter, then you could sort of infer a kind of trust relationship with that account, in that it was trusted by an authority

Tesla stock is down not just YoY, but also basically since the Twitter acquisition. This guys attention is clearly elsewhere, but he expects investors to vote to grant him the biggest bonus ever, and for what? Yeah, he met the targets, but

I use a Mac every day, for work and personal stuff. I have a Windows desktop PC, that I use almost exclusively for playing PC games with friends. I already had to use some obscure method to bypass signing in with my Microsoft account during

No, the implication is that Terraform will become prohibitively expensive to use. AAP has been around for a while, as Red Hat’s downstream of (iirc) AWX. It’s also quite pricey, like Terraform may become.

I’m super confused - Microsoft has tried this both in 2012 and 2016 (with Surface RT, and then again with Windows 10 on ARM). Neither of these turned out to be great for Linux adoption in this space (to my knowledge) - what leads you to bel

There is some sample C code to test with, and the issue is actually in the pre-releases. It’s just not in the first couple.

No approvals and no CI with clickops is indeed not a core tenet, but these are things you can implement on top of a solution like Jamf. However, the market wasn’t always asking for it. Most Mac management is done by a sole individual at the

yes, this is a core tenet of "Device Management". You can restrict this ability using the built-in (granular) access controls.

Agreed. It doesn’t seem like there is anything you’d want to do in a binary that couldn’t be done by creating an installer .pkg and just including all the logic in the post install script. The user gets a double-click “installer”, and like

It feels to me that, if you were going to make the complaint that DHH has, you would also explicitly mention that you had given them test account credentials. The actual reasonable complaint would be to say "we gave them test account c

Apple’s offices were closed 22/12 - 01/01, which is a not-insignificant chunk of those 19 days (not mentioning that their chosen launch date was the first day back)

Probably this, yeah. Lease cars as part of your work comp are relatively common in the tech sector here.

Second one. It’s also not secret - you are greeted with a prompt, which you must accept, to complete enrolment (although granted you can’t use the device without accepting). Essentially, the device phones home during setup, and asks Apple w
