Do I trust this computer?, my iPhone asks me for what has to be the thousandth time using the same computer logged into the same Apple ID. Enter your passcode, it demands once again, reflecting the hardware, software, and services working together in a way only Apple can deliver.
@nickheer You could have changed your mind and how would the phone know unless it constantly asked you instead of keeping a list that would need dreaded UI.
@nickheer Well, Nick, I know what you're thinking: But being this is an Apple silicon Macintosh, the most powerful personal computer in the world, and would blow your data clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?
The sadder part is that it used to work sensibly ages ago. You only got asked once and it stuck more or less forever. But then someone at Apple decided that that's clearly not enough security, because you absolutely can never have enough according to some people, and in the typical Apple fashion implemented the current behavior without giving the users an opportunity to evaluate their own risks.
@nickheer Same with the Trust this Browser in Apple Developer account.

@nickheer I agree. But I think I’m still glad they do ask so often?

Perhaps their stance on security is similar to Steve Jobs thoughts on privacy? https://daringfireball.net/linked/2020/12/18/steve-jobs-on-privacy

@cdevroe For a generic computer, sure. For the one I use daily, it should remember that and never ask me again. Should it also prompt you to confirm every time you open an application?
@nickheer @nikitonsky This type of thing is fine for a first iteration, but what bugs me is that we live with these since 15 years now
@gklka @nickheer funny thing is, I am pretty sure it worked correct when first introduced, but then they somehow broke it. We are moving backwards
@nikitonsky @gklka @nickheer I am 100% sure it did work. I do not know what version of macOS/iOS broke it but I know that it did work as one would expect it to in the past.
@nickheer I thought I must be using outdated hardware or that I broke a configuration/setting somewhere because of how often this message appeared on my devices. This is *normal* behavior? It’s so user-hostile.

@nickheer the fix will be in the next OS:

“Do you still trust this computer?”

#functionalhighground

@nickheer yeah, but why are you plugging the phone into the computer at all? Sounds like you’re trying to use old iTunes Match or something, I mean I guess it technically still works, but surely you’d be happier with Apple Music and never plugging in again! /s
@puercomal @nickheer iTunes Match doesn’t need to plug in…
