Make sure to keep a backup of your Sequoia install

Looks like it checks for the referrer in main.js and adds the uppercase text-transform if you come from HN:

  let host;
  if (document.referrer) { host = (new URL(document.referrer)).host; }
  if (host === "news.ycombinator.com" || host === "lobste.rs") {
    let style = document.createElement('style');
    // let transform = host === "lobste.rs" ? 
    style.textContent = `
      body { text-transform: uppercase; }
      pre, code { text-transform: none; }
    `;
    document.head.appendChild(style);
    console.log("HN readers clearly can't handle the typing habits of the average trans girl.");
    return;
  }

It seems the suggested solution is to use server credentials that lack delete permissions (and use credentials that have delete for compacting the repo), but does that protect against a compromised client simply overriding files without deleting them?

Note that this requires native iCloud support on the host machine, so macOS or the iCloud app on Windows (no Linux support)

Does anyone have insight into why Apple encrypts SEP firmware? Clearly it’s not critical to their security model so maybe just for IP protection?

Notably, only the pro models support USB 3. The base 16/16 plus are still on USB 2. This hasn't changed from the 15 lineup when they switched to USB-C.

Could this end up on an embedded smart tv device, like a Roku?
