There are no good virus scanners – that is a general issue, not a Mac OS-related one.

Would antivirus software have helped? (And anyway, installing snake oil is rather desperate, especially for a techie who should know better …)

tl;dr: 'The Backblaze login database has in no way been compromised. That said, we have seen a number of automated login attempts to our site and wanted to alert our users of the risk.' Why would Backblaze send out such an e-mail

Other CRM providers would probably deserve a closer look too. Marketcircle for example has never been able to offer reliable SSL support for its CalDAV / CardDAV server. And they are switching to a cloud solution too – closed source an

Ah, Apple News. Americans might want to know that it is still not widely available in the rest of the world – probably another failed Apple project. I had some hope that Apple News could help RSS but that was apparently never Apple's i

That's exactly what I like about Twitter – I can easily reach people outside my usual social circles … and vice versa. And we don't have to be 'friends' to talk to each other.

Are you sure you were living in Switzerland? Bread in Switzerland is rarely sweet and non-white bread is very common.

Using a private key and 2FA should IMHO be the default setting. (I of course understand that Backblaze wants to make its service as easy as possible, to they have other defaults.)

I use Arq too, however, there are some limitations: - Scanning of new / changed files takes could be faster and less demanding for the file system (on my Macs, Finder sometimes temporarily freezes when Arq is scanning for new / ch

That reminds me of CrashPlan. They throttle uploads and deny it – and they have been promising a native Mac client for years. Scanning of new / changed data is rather slow too. I was testing SpiderOak two or three years ago. The client

I was worried about the loss of MagSafe too. Now, with almost three months with the new MacBook Pro, I have become very happy with USB-C, and I hope that iPhones and iPads will make the switch too. A USB-C-only world would make so many thin

That makes me sad. I would not order food if I do not eat it. Many places often burgers without bun – and you can always ask. (No, children are not starving because of you, no worries!)

That is great, however, it is still worrying since we have no chance to know if bad actors had already exploited the vulnerabilities. I am still very sceptical with regard to password managers as SaaS in the cloud – all eggs are in one bask

Same here … I have a few Google accounts and on most devices, I was logged out (and I use the same Google account usually more than once on a device, so today is going to be busy!).

I use filters in such cases – they have worked fine for me so far.

I agree but couldn't the employees themselves take care of such stuff? We share such minor duties in the office (and food waste goes to the bio waste bin if suitable or gets packed in small bags). Maybe we're simply not spoiled en
