  • Memory safety for one. C is very memory unsafe and that has been the source of a great, great number of software vulnerabilities over the years. Basically, in many C programs it has been possible to force them to execute arbitrary code, and if a program is running with root privileges, an attacker can gain full control over a system by injecting the right input into a program.

    I have very limited knowledge of rust, but from what I remember writing memory unsafe programs is nigh impossible in rust as the code won’t really even compile. Someone else with more knowledge can probably give more detail.

    Yeah and they want to install some profile that gives them access and puts your internet connection through their VPN. My coworkers look at me like I’m crazy because I carry a work device and a personal device. Like, why would I give my employer access to all of my web traffic on my phone? You’re crazy if you don’t carry two devices.

    Apple products work like an appliance. You don’t have to worry so much about how it is working, it just works and does the thing you need. It saves you time.

    A lot of folks on here want to worry about how their computer is working. This is very time consuming and can be pretty frustrating to manage on your own. If everyone did this society wouldn’t have other important things.
