Episode notes

Apple has had in Mac OS 10 slash current version of Mac OS, various places for anti malware software to hook into the system. The main reason I don't run any anti malware stuff is that, you know, it's there is a cost to running it. So I'd rather, I just would rather not do that. And as long as the risk of Mac malware continues to be as low as it is, and as long as Apple can do a good enough job with their built in stuff to protect against anything that actually gets big, I'm fine with that.

The ATP Store is BACK, baby! Order your merch before Saturday, 6 May.
