macOS 11’s hidden security improvements
Sounds good but a problem with Apple's latest releases are that a lot of its security features listen only to Apple and not to the user.<p>This doesn't concern most of the improvements mentioned in the article, those are purely technical improvements at a very low level. But the signed system volume for example (also mentioned), while a good idea, lacks a convenient way for the user to make changes to it. I'm not very happy leaving my security to a black box and just trusting the supplier implicitly. This is a supplier that introduced a "get root with blank password" bug and the "your password hint is your actual password" one. Sure, everyone makes mistakes, especially for that reason I'd want to have more access than they offer now.<p>macOS is becoming more and more like iOS, which is also way too closed in my opinion. More locks is always good but the user should have a key, not just the supplier.
