macOS High Sierra: Anyone can login as “root” with empty password
Apple has a serious software quality problem. Last night I was helping a friend with their computer. Safari couldn&#x27;t even render apples website correctly. Nor could Safari connect to any site with HTTPS. Installed FireFox and HTTPS sites worked and apples&#x27;s site renders. But the submit button on their developer site is broken[1]. Mail on my Mom&#x27;s fully updated laptop crashes every time it&#x27;s opened. Once I reported a bug in ptrace like 4 years ago and no response yet. Also the archive utility fails often to extract tar files that the tar command has no problem extracting at all. Quicktime can&#x27;t play most videos, etc, etc. And now shipping an operating system with a root account with no password by default.<p>Come on Apple you have a quarter trillion dollars in the bank why don&#x27;t you spend some on improving your software.<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forums.developer.apple.com&#x2F;thread&#x2F;60763" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;forums.developer.apple.com&#x2F;thread&#x2F;60763</a>
