NOT airgun related but....VERY Important

The nut shell version, if you own Apple products there is a VERY important update for your Macs, kernel level flaws are fixed, also flaws in the iOS of iPads, iPhones and iWatches. More here.. https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/202...ted-security-bugs/?comments=1&comments-page=1

My source was a very high level security guy that use to work for Apple, I guess is his friends still left there warned him about it.

At least they haven' broken Strelok Pro...yet.

I'm wondering if the fixes will protect against the FX Borg, I tend to doubt it.

“Fixes” and “updates” are generally them incrementally instituting more control/tracking over what you can do on your own devices.

Did you read the article? This was way more than an incremental update this was a major oopsie in the OS Kernel if my meager tech knowledge is correct. Now excuse me I have to update my darn windows VM....again.

Thanks! I got the warning from Apple and have a habit of updating frequently anyways!
