I can't financially, but mentally I retired already. What 60-year careers could look like: thank you! I am ready to retire right now. Full Stop! Ready to work until you are 80? IT & Tech Careers What always seems to come across to me when people get on Apple is 'you Mac users think it's perfect'.not at all, but in terms of security it's lot less stressful than Windows. Since they had to make OSX for home users, they had to allow interactions which could be used for social engineering attacks, which are not attacks at all but user mistakes. The Unix foundation of OSX is the most secure you can get from an OS, that's why govt and military use Unix. I want to know what makes MAC OSX better in security stand point besides apple only letting a few manf. but that point seems useless since other OS provide the same thing. They just have settings to make it suite everyone. I get that but the point is meaning less since almost all curent OS can do that. Naturally if the user doesn't know the implications of using root password all the time they are vulnerable, but the alternative is to have someone else admin the machine for them. You don't have to mess with user profiles like in Windows. The point of needing the admin password is that it's part of the security. No different if i go into mty corp enviroment and it ask me to pop credentials to access.If you know the password it doesnt make it safer. Just curious.if it is a home computer why does it matter if they are prompted for admin password.they should know it. Sorry, just to clarify, I mean home users, not in a corporate environment. Maybe messes up the browser or something but that's probably it. OSX actually requires one to type in the admin password anytime it installs anything (even regular software updates), so although I haven't run across this 'malware' I still am skeptical it installs anything to the core OS. The Mac users I support don't come across as thinking they are invincible, they just come in and do their jobs and generally require very little IT attention, the same as everywhere else I've worked.
