Joey van der PoelLooking into #CIS Benchmark for #MacOS. Are people really applying these policies?
For example; Enforcing the WiFi icon in the menubar to improve security? Really? What a bullshit is this?
SimplyCorbett@joeyvdpoel Doesn't this come out of the box with macOS anyway? I swear my menu bar has always shown the wifi icon.
@simplycorbett Yes that is the case, but you are free to remove it from the menubar if you wanted to.
This policy will prevent that you can do that if enforced.
@joeyvdpoel I can't think of a good reason anyone would remove it. But I can see why that would be a policy in a business/work environment.
@simplycorbett I removed it, space on my 13-inch MacBook is limited and I rather spent it on more pressing things.
A policy to prevent automatic connecting to unknown WiFi networks is, for me, sensible, controlling the Wifi indicator is not.
@joeyvdpoel ah yeah wasn't thinking about the 13 inch versions.
