You know, I remember when macOS made fun of Windows Vista’s gen1 UAC asking for permission to do anything.
It seems now the turns have tabled.
Geez Microsoft is so terrible about this. It doesn’t help that certain apps are coded like shit as well. Ubisoft Connect literally asks 3 TIMES… EVERY TIME YOU OPEN IT for UAC permissions. Once a week would be absolutely a joy in comparison.
That’s not a Microsoft problem… Ubisoft Connect should not need admin permissions to do anything tbh
Microsoft didn’t provide a way for fine grained control of things. Oftentimes apps need UAC permission for ridiculous stuff that should be available to provide access to once and never again. I’ve written shitty windows apps before and I remember thinking it was dumb then. It’s just even worse now.
Nvidia GeForce Experience asks once you install driver updates but not right away lol. It’s gotta think about whether it needs it first I guess. Really ponder whether it should ask. So you gotta wait for it to ask before you walk away to do something else.
If you hold down the escape button, it will deny all the UAC requests as they come in. It’s pretty satisfying to watch, actually
Please no! I shouldn’t need to constantly re-grant permissions unless an app has maybe had a major update where it may warrant review.
I am already annoyed how often iOS asks me am I sure I want an app to run in background etc when that is the point of said app.
Android turned off AirGuard permissions and background usage because I didn’t open it in a while. Thanks for saving like 1% battery and making me vulnerable to stalkers tracking me with AirTags and Tiles 🤩 Wow, a great trade!
If this requires admin rights to enable every week this is going to suck major ass for company MDM MacBooks
As a beta user, they pop up everyday which is extremely annoying….
Yeah, seems to have gone from daily to weekly in the latest beta, which will still be annoying, but far less so than it had been lately. I legit thought it was a bug because I shouldn’t need to authorize app permissions on a daily (or even weekly) basis.
the last good os x was snow leopard i said what i said
This is going to be a bit annoying for those of us who do remote tech support for family members.
Apple 2014: “it just works”
Apple 2024: it “just” works
God. As if giving x permissions on first launch and still somehow not having the needed permissions wasn’t enough hassle.
I wish they’d just do what iOS does for apps with location tracking. Every couple months, check in with the user and let them know an App still has access to something, and ask if you want to continue or revoke access.
Sometimes Apple gets a too aggressive with privacy and it hurts the user experience.
Oh hilarious. I still have to use a display link driver because the laptop can’t drive multiple external displays. It technically is a screen sharing driver. So in order for me to use my monitors I’m going to be constantly re approving my display drivers.
If this happens I’ll consider switching back to a Linux machine next time a hardware upgrade is due.
Hope there are some rapid developments in non-Apple ARM Chips by then :')
Do you have a minute to talk about our savior Linux?

You got downvoted for this? Literally 1984 /s
It’s a non-relevant unoriginal comment.
Everyone on Lemmy already knows. Because some people can’t seem to shut up about it.
You don’t mess with the cult of apple :)
I had a MacBook for a while. It’s a great laptop. But I prefer Linux.
