Correct me if I am wrong but chrome is-at least was- keeping passwords as raw text in Windows too. I got friend's forgotten password from Chrome on 2021 version
I've always hated that argument. Yes, if someone as access to your local file system, you are already SOL, but if that machine is part of an org, they aren't necessarily SOL except for now those plain text passwords can potentially be used for easier lateral movement to hit other, more privileged accounts (if you had access/had them saved in that password manager). At minimum, those credentials can now be used to phish the rest of your organization.
Stopping the spread is just as important as protecting any individual machine.
I mean, I can easily get them to behaving defensively for not being abused. But MBP with M5 here, my chatgpt tab always get stucked when I hit some prompt.
Really really bad user experience, wondering about when they will leave this approach.
Same issue as Monds comments. When arch pushes an update the package database becomes inconsistent until cachyos syncs it, which can take 30 minutes. Cachy packages just increment a nonce on the package version numbers so when arch pushes updates they get considered to be more recent than the Cachy versions, cause .so dependency errors. It's all just one fragile stateful system
Most big "industrial-like" product companies are pinchers when it comes to SW. They offshore a lot hence why they pay SW devs so little. And it mostly works for them.
It works for them, because like Boeing said, they have old battles tested processes which usually means big mistakes can easily get caught ahead of time. And if big mistakes don't get caught they usually can't kill anyone and generate a huge public scandal.
I don't think it works for them, I think they are just entrenched with good moats.
What I think actually happens is they get to prove all sorts of ridiculous things are good management and that all sorts of managers need to be coming up with complex ways to manage what would be obvious in a situation where reality was still visible underneath.
In the end they pay a lot more than if they had competent individual contributors and less darwinian fights to the death in their org charts. But having a better organization is not really compatible with the incentive system involved.
I can easily say some of them calls themselves as "futuristic" pays too many unrequired attention and money much more than they pay technological infrastructure... what a oxymoron
rEFInd seemed best for me too
