Everyone here seems pretty negative on this news. Any particular reason?

No pr0n?
You’re right, it does. This is a head-scratcher.
I guess they already had the TOTP code written, so creating a standalone app was trivial, but what’s the point?
Hard core idiot?
The quotes in this article were some of the weirdest fucking things I’ve ever read. Is there something in the water in SF?
To be fair, KTTH is barely news.
No explanation other than Elon is a thin-skinned little bitch baby who’s carrying water for fascists.
One of my friends bought a RAM module directly from HP for his HP laptop. The module was identical to the one that came with the laptop, and the specs for the laptop said that it could support even more RAM than he installed (I forget the amount—this was 15 years ago). The computer recognized the RAM and everything worked great… for a couple hours, at which point it would slow down or freeze. I took a look at the laptop and noticed that it was running way hot. I took out the new RAM module, and everything went back to normal.
We then purchased two brand new, identical modules, with identical specs to the HP modules, and installed them in the computer. Same issue—everything worked great for a couple hours, and then it would lock up. I took out just one of the new modules, and the freezing problem stopped.
We contacted HP to ask if this was a known issue, and the answer was basically “yep, that happens. Try removing one stick of RAM.”
So yeah, that’s when I committed to never purchasing an HP product, and steering my family and friends away from them.
Google has been doing this kind of thing for a while. If you try to use Google Meet in Firefox, you can’t use things like background blurring. Spoofing Chrome works in that situation as well.
There will come a time, maybe 8-10 years down the road, when Apple stops providing software updates for your M1. In that sense, no, it’s not future proof, but no computer truly is.
When that time comes, you can install Linux on it and continue to enjoy the laptop. I have two Macs from 2009 that are both happily running Ubuntu.
It depends on what she wants to do with it. Does she need any first-party Apple apps? If so, she might be out of luck. If not, put your Linux flavor of choice on it and get another 10 years or more out of it.
I’m running Ubuntu Server on a 2009 Mac mini with absolutely no problems at all.
It’s good to see the free market actually working
