		frizlab on March 9, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Apple curl security incident 12604 Sadly true, though there always has been bugs in the Apple ecosystem, much more than everybody wants to remember. I remember my dad telling me when I was little “Apple is not what it used to be; now there are so many bugs. I miss the good old times…” Personally I think the main issue with Apple is the lack of transparency wrt what actually happens. Take AirDrop for instance. It’s magical when it works, but truly opaque and frustrating when it doesn’t… The other issue is the follow-up for reported bugs which is lacking, though I guess they have a lot of reports and following up on everyone of them must be tricky.

That is very much my experience as well.

I‘m pretty savy in macOS, Windows and Linux.

While macOS is certainly the most beautiful of these systems, it’s also an absolute pain to troubleshoot sometimes.
