Hello, Apple. Did You Read This?

September 3, 2020

One of the DarkCyber research team called my attention to a paragraph in “Is MacOS Becoming Unmaintainable?” The author has been explaining thing Mac for decades. I think this person qualifies as an individual who is or was part of the Apple faithful. Here’s the paragraph:

From all that I hear about Big Sur’s new Sealed System Volume, MacOS 11.0 isn’t intended to improve the situation. If every time your car had a problem you had to replace its engine, wouldn’t you consider that abysmal engineering? It might be acceptable for an iPhone, but surely not for a proper computer.From all that I hear about Big Sur’s new Sealed System Volume, macOS 11.0 isn’t intended to improve the situation.

I wonder if anyone at Apple noted this statement. My hunch is that someone did. Does anyone care? Not any more. The notion of “too complicated, time consuming, and expensive to fix” combined with millennial wisdom guarantees deterioration it seems.
