That still wouldn’t excuse that someone clearly didn’t verify their work. No matter what the reason, ownership of this task was released before it should have been.

If you really believe that national security threats are “at best hypothetical” then we don’t share enough common ground to constructively discuss the subject.

Something isn’t resonating when you express an opinion about due process while being baffled by the concept of national security. Clearly you understand the value of due process, but appear to miss the importance or necessity of protecting

I was just reading other accounts online about the power button sensitivity, and I was indeed in a high static environment (extremely cold and dry in winter (Arctic), carpeted floors) which appears to be a common factor in those reports. Th

The Mac Mini’s great grandfather, the G4 Mac Cube, had a motion sensing power button placed on top. If “astonishing” is what they were going for, they nailed it. Reaching for a paper on your desk? Astonished. And of course you’d have to fen

By "working idea" do you mean something that you made up in your head which has no basis in reality, but works for you? Edit: I had only seen the one post on X in which responsibility for the attack was claimed when I made this co
