Do you think that the GDPR has really changed anything for either Facebook or its users? Do you think that anything changed in the way data is being handled? All i see is a bunch of highly paid law firms writing up 200 additional pages in terms and conditions to shield the company, but nothing really changed as far as daily business is concerned.

This sums up EU laws in a nutshell.

As if a brand name, logo and website were not enough, even the white paper title is cringy clickbait: "Efail: Breaking S/MIME and OpenPGP Email Encryption using Exfiltration Channels".

OpenPGP is not broken. Nothing in your paper has anything to do with OpenPGP. This is simply spreading overblown FUD for your 15 minutes of mainstream media fame.

This nonsense is really getting old

Others in this thread have suggested that no physical presence is required.

Minor updates, security patches etc. via the App Store usually work just fine. Major OS updates (like going from El Capitan to Sierra) are a pain in the a. But there is no guarantee for any of this, as a rule of thumb: the closer you are to "original" hardware, the less problems you will experience.

The current real Mac Pro actually has two ethernet ports too. There are a number of ways this could be useful.

Number one would obviously be to connect to two different networks. It could also be useful in a scenario where the machine is used as a server and you want a semi-redundant backup network line. It could also be used to directly connect to a NAS box via Ethernet.

An iPad can't play regular MP4/H264 videos by default?

Sweet, thanks for the link, will give it a try after i got everything backed up :)

What encryption are you using? I was under the impression that FV2 (or any other full disk encryption solution) does not work on a Hackintosh

Care to elaborate what some of the pain points are?

Stopped reading right here.

yay, more adapters.

By the time you purchased all the adapters you need you have dropped another $100

Unfortunately Windows is not an option (for me) and Desktop Linux in 2016 can still be a huge pain in the ass. I hear good things about the Dell XPS 13" Developer Edition (shipping with Ubuntu), maybe i will give that a try at same point.

So yeah, at the end of the day i probably will still buy the rMBP. There is no alternative at this point. But i am not happy with the direction Apple is going. Cutting ports, selling useless stupid gimmicks for $300 price bump instead of aiming for a better price/value. Not good.

I don't get it.

The entire presentation was absolutely cringeworthy. The touch bar is a stupid gimmick being sold for a $300 price bump. Any serious developer, video editor or audio engineer knows all his shortcuts already and simply does not want to look down on his keyboard. The entire idea is flawed to begin with.

I really would not care if they put this on their toy-macs (the 12" "Macbook" or the "Air). Go ahead. But for the love of god, just leave one machine for people that use their Macs as a serious, professional everyday work tool
