Applications do not need permission. The user that is currently controlling the application needs to be able to use that application to read and write files but there's no reason that the application needs access when it's not in

Because, in this particular case, the user was using software (Alfred 3) that he knew wasn't going to work right on Catalina prior to upgrading it. Newer versions of Alfred exist that support the newer permissions model in Catalina. He

Yes, but that took nearly 2 years (1.5 if you're only counting from individual public sales) and the launch was terrible . I'm glad that Vista happened because it very much needed to but they really shit the bed on its release.

I don't understand why people feel this way. Apple's doing away with 3D Touch because of the data that says that people don't use it. What makes you think they wouldn't do the same with the Touch Bar? Despite that, I lov

You expect applications to have access to your desktop? You should only ever expect the user to have access to the desktop and, even then, the only apps that would ever prompt for access to the desktop are those that aren't updated for

I disagree but only for one major reason: the entire reason this is coming up is because the OP is using an old version of Alfred that wasn't prepped for the new permission settings of Catalina even though there's a fully compa

That's the entire point. Even if Apple was going to be able to go somewhere else (India, US, etc.), it wouldn't hurt China much if every other tech company maintains course and/or doubles down on China. Unless China is hurt e

That's a huge straw man and not at all what I was referring to. Stop buying goods that support these policies. Stop supporting politicians that support these policies. Stop patronizing companies that lobby for these things. Use apps li

Of course but I think the point is that we can stop supporting the continued benefit of these. Money talks and both people and corporations can talk the talk by not supporting these countries and not caving to them.

>less ethical option Are you getting that because of this flag issue or is there more behind that? I would argue that Apple is, by far, the more ethical option.

I'm not a fan of his. Although I think he's super-smart and one of the few people I would actually trust to repair my devices on a component level, I really hate his click-bait videos when they're anti-Apple and/or pro-R

That is one way to fix it too, if you don't want to have to re-buy shielded cables.

This is specific to USB-C and unshielded cabling. It's the same issue that Louis Rossman tried to blame on the new MacBooks until his Dell laptop started doing the same thing with the adapter. Especially for powered USB devices, unshie

I disagree wholeheartedly but I am, admittedly, also an owner of a Tesla. The thing is that it's not like any other car from any other manufacturer and it's, by a good multitude of miles, the best car I've ever owned. There

This is exactly it. Even if a malicious extension gets through, they have access to nothing on the user side. It's not a fair trade off but, in my opinion, it is a worthwhile one.

This is a really long-standing battle between user accessibility and user freedom. Any time a software system or platform or OS allows for people to do whatever they want without restriction, you end up with thousands of compromised systems

They never suggested anything of the sort. That being said, for every uBO that doesn't send that data back home, there are 1000s of "ad-blockers" that do exactly that.

Apple wasn't eager to protect the device of a terrorist. They were eager to protect everyone's devices. Opening up access to "the terrorist's" device would open up that access to every device. I, personally, thi

While I do admit that I agree with a few of those points, the Verge isn't exactly reporting in good-faith either, IMO. They are very biased against Apple, for whatever reason.
