I don't think America is ever going to heal until it learns to be indifferent about this sort of article.
That's a poor logical inference for several reasons.
It's fascinating how we talk about ownership as if it is some sort of natural state.
You are only a criminal if you get punished.
I beg to differ.
A sort of allegory for the nation.
It would be interesting to see how this decision came about.
Was the decision maker measured on the amount of cost cutting they could achieve, but not measured on lives lost?
That's the thing with KPIs, sometimes the difficult-to-measure aspects of a job are quite important.
You merely reiterate why no-one tales the left seriously any more.
The left: "Industry kills wildlife and creates waste! We must destroy it!"
Also the left: "So what if windmills kill birds and create waste? When did you ever complain about that before?"
The modern left exists to funnel billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers to billionaire oligarchs. If the left didn't exist, oligarchs would have had to create it.
Oh, wait...
You are against hypocricy and corruption, and yet you defend Trump?
You'll find these vices in the left, but they seem quaint in comparison.
Trump doesn't lie to hide the truth, he simply doesn't see any virtue in one over the other. And he despises anyone who does.
And how are we going to domestically manufacture solar panels if you also tariff the inputs to solar panel manufacturing?
Do you expect a completely vertically integrated manufacturing operation to wink into existence where sand and copper ore go in one side, and completed solar panels come out the other? And even if that did exist, where would the copper ore be coming from, and what tariffs are on that?
This is why the tariffs do not fucking work.
You appear to be looking for logic in the decision making.
Think of it more like cheering for a sports team. It's full of emotion - passion and anger, and on-the-fly theories, but has little to do with logic.
well sorry for the aggression but it pisses me off when people let vendor shirk their responsibilities because it is "too hard" or "too much work", Apple makes literally 3/4 of a billion dollars a DAY in profit, they can deal with the workload through better AI and handling on their part or more investment in security personnel.
Yes - I tend to agree. Although the article was about Apple, I think my mind had wandered onto the more general case, including open source projects where bug reporters and bug resolvers ideally work more collaboratively. But as you say, with a company like Apple, indirectly making revenue from the bug fixes, we might be less inclined to volunteer our labour.
why the fuck should the responsibility fall on the bug reporter. It either is a bug or not, the security implications and classification are for the developers to determine, yes a security researcher may wish to point out the security implications or demonstrate but really it is NOT their responsibility to do so, it is Apples to correctly review and classify the bug.
Good point, albeit quite aggressively made.
Perhaps bug reports could be submitted with code in a specified format that could be run, like test code, and compared to an expected result, validating the bug report.
An automated review would be able to test that the behaviour has been correctly reported. This would then leave the task of determining whether the reported behaviour is correctly classified as a "bug", and further, how important that bug is.
Generally bug reports are made with a description of how to reproduce the bug, but this can require quite a bit of manual work on the bug fixer's side.
Interesting, I was somehow assigned IT for our institutions Macs, several hundred of them. I got perhaps 2 calls a month, many months with no calls
To be clear - I think Macs are pretty low maintenance. I didn't mean to imply otherwise.
The fundamental difference is that they store a lot of stuff locally, compared to Chromebooks.
Example 1: With a MacBook, every now and then you will be alerted to an available OS update. You click the button and it will download the update, and reboot. It's pretty painless and doesn't take very long. But the equivalent is even less painless and even shorter on a Chromebook.
Example 2: A user gets a new MacBook, and needs to migrate from the old to the new machine. All they need to do is confirm that everything is synced to iCloud, and then they can log into the new machine, perform any updates, and they should be up and running. This is also pretty trouble free. But again, on a Chromebook it is even simpler. Because their files are not stored on the Chromebook locally, there is no syncing required. And if the new Chromebook requires an OS update, that just generally comes with the next reboot.
The US is now 29th out of 182 countries, and dropping.

In fact if you look at the graph, the Trump terms stand out.
