Segmentation Fault posted:lol if you think apple isn't doing the same telemetry on their end too they do some product improvement telemetry (less than windows afaik) but you get a real (once again afaik) choice to opt out. it's one of the setup-on-first-login questions, you can change the setting later if you change your mind, and they do not ever change the setting for you e: none of which addresses whether one should trust apple to not collect other poo poo invisibly, but apple is deffo less user hostile in their approach to this, especially for individual home users.

anthonypants posted:yes, you need rm -f to get rid of the directories otherwise it will complain about there being directories. -r deletes files in subdirectories but will still complain about, like, /usr being a directory no, it will not $ mkdir asdf $ rm asdf rm: asdf: is a directory $ rm -f asdf rm: asdf: is a directory $ mkdir asdf/asdf2 $ rm -r asdf $ ls asdf ls: asdf: No such file or directory -f means 'force', ie never ask for confirmation even when deleting read-only things -r makes rm recursively delete things, including directories. without -r, rm will never delete a directory, not even if you specify -f.

Powaqoatse posted:i had to help my sister with a thing a week ago & used teamviewer if you were also using a mac and you both have iMessage set up, you can just open messages.app, select a convo with her, click something (her name I think, don't have it in front of me ATM) in upper right area of the window, and request to view her screen. after the connection is established the person on the being-viewed end can opt to give the viewer remote control (via the blinking icon in the menu bar which tells you your screen is being viewed). this connection also gives you voice chat you are excused for not knowing about any of this because apple hides it behind a non intuitive interface in a place where you might not expect it. it's a nice built in tech support tool once you know about it oh and afaik aside from the startup requests going through iMessage it's all peer to peer. underlying screen sharing is vnc protocol over an encrypted channel or something like that.

minivanmegafun posted:can a sata password be bypassed with a logic board swap? depends. on some ssds the sata password mechanism is a potentially deece fde (*), but sata is a very pc industry standard so you'd better be sure your particular drive mfr did it right before you depend on it * - dense flash media can have problems storing some bit patterns - long runs of ones, zeroes, etc. running all the data through encryption helps with that, since the output of good crypto looks like noise. so, there are a poo poo ton of ssds that always encrypt everything written to flash. the algorithm is usually aes-128 or -256 in counter mode out of the box these drives store the data encryption key in the clear so the drive can function without any unlocking. if the user sets a sata password, a fresh random aes key gets generated (effectively wiping the drive!) and encrypted with the sata PW, so now the system must provide the sata PW in order to unlock the drive. this is more or less equivalent to popular assumed-to-be-good FDE schemes like bitlocker and filevault2, but with everything implemented inside the drive. i don't windows much but i seem to recall that bitlocker can operate in a mode where it actually relies on the sata drive to do all the work personally i'd rather rely on operating system "soft" FDE because LOL if you think that storage devices have reliably competent implementations of anything. also the OS is more likely to get security patches.

cinci zoo sniper posted:what even is that, ccleaner for apple computers? if ccleaner is a thing that promises to make your computer great again but doesn't do much and is ludicrously overpriced for what it does and is almost malware in how hard it is to get rid of once installed and is advertised with popup ads that try to hard sell you on the idea that your computer is full of crud that only ccleaner can remove and then when you try to close the popup some js intercepts the window close and questions your judgement for daring to cut off the lifeline they are graciously extending you, come on get out your credit card right now? then yes last i heard nobody had identified any way in which mackeeper was actively harmful if installed, but it's still a really lovely product that is sold in the sleaziest way possible. it is more or less a legal way to steal money from people who don't know better
