security and M1
« on: February 11, 2021, 06:17:34 AM »
Much of this is over my head, but it will be of interest to anyone contemplating a Mac with the M1 chip. What the M1 and Apple Silicon mean for Mac security

Too many security buzz words. :D But this quote is simple enough for any beginner:
Quote
the M1 doesn't necessarily protect against users downloading a malicious application or a piece of malware bypassing app notarization. Nothing is hack-proof, so users will still need to practice discretion.
A "practice" not known to a large enough group of users. Too many folks still download or use something that claims to be valuable but is "free". :doh: :nono:
THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF COUNTRIES
Those that use metric = #1 Measurement system
