Define “taking down”

The computer is completely unresponsive as the OS is blocking all apps from starting. The best part was that the "keyboard" was not found.. in my macbook.

  • Had that too. Apparently it checks keyboard firmware? Always-on VPN connections can cause that same issue too. Wake up, can't type. OS eventually prompts you to connect a BT keyboard as none is detected, then that goes away.

Ypu have to send a hash of every program you run.

Unix workflows like to call hundreds of small programs.

If Apple doesn't respond in time, your system halts.

  • That is a little surprising to me and I'm now glad I held off on buying one of the new macs.

    • This is unrelated to the new macs, which are not scheduled to arrive until next Tuesday.

      I think this is about MacOS Big Sur, aka MacOS 11, which released today?
