The best Unix - sh.itjust.works

Lol, Linux literally owns the server space, windows owns the desktop space, what exactly does MacOS Own exactly? If best means most pretentious then sure.

what exactly does MacOS Own exactly?

It certainly isn’t the enterprise space, ALL their business features and integrations are half-assed at best and downright painful to use at worst (ESPECIALLY iOS device management, fuck what a shit show that is)

I came up with the phrase “Windows is an enterprise OS with consumer features, MacOS is a consumer OS with (half-assed) enterprise features” to describe it perfectly.

And then those “enterprise features” get borked on the next major macOS release.

Oh you wanted to ensure your remote assist tool could be granted the proper permissions to work? Well screw you! We took away the ability to grant Screen Recording permissions through a MDM profile. Suck it!

In case you didn’t know the Screen Recording permission is needed to be able to view the display/screen in applications like Zoom when screen sharing or for remote assist through Screen connect.

Apple’s “reason” was essentially “… Think of the users! It’s for their security”.

damn that sucks, but on the other hand, Management then also cant smuggle in screen capturing software to snoop on their devs/users.

I’m pretty sure that could be negated by having a dot appear somewhere in the corner if the screen is currently being recorded. That would prevent silent snooping at least.

That’s at least what my phones does for certain sensitive permissions, like camera or microphone.
