Installed it on my Intel MBP, upgraded my virtual machines to a new format version and now regretting it. The Bootcamp VM does not boot at all and the Win 7 VM is in an infinite restart-repair loop.

Thank God I have backups to revert to.

Many steps ?

recovery, reset on csr then reboot delete old boot camp very small link (<100mb) and do a new boot camp vm and go back to recovery and enable csr Reboot

But is to true for other vm?

No, not many steps. Just restoring Fusion 12 and Win7.vmwarevm from Time Machine and recreating a bootcamp vm. Easy

I'm a VMWare Fusion user since ver.6, I think, and I've never experienced anything like this :( Shocking

Eating my iphone's battery like crazy

For iOS, there's a new amazing app from the developer of Working Copy called Secure ShellFish: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/secure-shellfish/id1336634154?...

I guess you'll have to trust him and his friends from the FSB (former KGB) :)

Do you make the same remarks when Google, Microsoft, Apple or Palantir releases software?

I have the impression that ever since Snowden happened, yes. Any mention of a non open source OS gets accompanied by remarks about NSA, FBI and co.

Open source projects are not shielded from this either. Plenty of paranoia, justified or not, going around these days.

On one hand, we've been privy to some of NSA's operations, on the other, there is still a lot left to be disclosed, most will of course, never be out in the open.

Let's not forget the great OpenBSD code audit caused when someone from the FBI claimed to have planted a backdoor. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2010/12/openbs...

Don't know about him but I know I would if they released closed source security-critical software. Would you use Windows to host your super critical top secret backend? I know I wouldn't.

If it is a proper open source project, no.

They don't have this kind of history with security agencies though.

um... except they do. That's what the snowden documents showed us

No. Snowden documents didn't show that Larry and Sergei are childhood buddies with FBI, NSA or CIA chiefs.

That's the problem with intellectual americans - you guys know how bad things are in your country, but not realize how worse they are everywhere else.

No, I'll concede the specifics, but the impact is the same. They show that Google, FB, etc are all sending their data to the NSA and others.

What? Just because some situations are worse in other countries means the US can't be doing anything wrong?

Are you talking about National Security Letters? That's a complex topic. I would hope the companies did what they could to fight where they had room, but I also don't necessarily expect companies to break the law.

If you're talking about data, the NSA tapped private datacenter connections, and I'm under the impression that Google at least was working to mitigate this (encrypt all datacenter-to-datacenter traffic) before all this came to light. Or are you referring to something else?

> Are you talking about National Security Letters? That's a complex topic.

Indeed it is complex, but the end result is still the same. Sure, they don't have to fight the law, but I also don't have to trust them with my data. Nor does Russia, and I'd even argue that it's stupid for Russia to do so.
