      “You wouldn&#x27;t run a stranger&#x27;s code without reading it.” Yes I would. We all do it all the time. macOS itself is closed source, and even if it weren&#x27;t, there’s way too much code to read.

        Don’t be obtuse, the intended audience is developers with enterprise credentials sprinkled throughout their environment.

        Its a different threat model. You should not curl bash.

          Developers with enterprise credentials sprinkled throughout their environment running anything from the Internet deserve what they get.

          But I assumed the intended audience are home users with entry level macbooks&#x2F;minis with 128 GB RAM where this patch actually helps them.
