macOS Big Sur

I don’t think this is true at all Paulo, at least not in the case of Apple. Putting aside the fact that I think they do actually care about customer perception, they actually have to - because a poor brand image would harm them a lot more than it would harm a company that isn’t selling premium products and where ‘privacy and security’ aren’t touted as part of the reason that makes them special and worth the extra price.

All this recent pressure has made an impact - they released a statement and will be making the following changes:

  • A new encrypted protocol for Developer ID certificate revocation checks
  • Strong protections against server failure
  • A new preference for users to opt out of these security protections

So a win for us all, well, at least us Mac users :joy:
