I see exclaves as a significant but intermediate step. Apple is making XNU less of a liability, but they're still playing defense instead of fully embracing a microkernel architecture.
If I had to bet, exclaves will be a bridge to something bigger, either a more modular OS (like Fuchsia) or a CHERI-inspired security model where memory safety is enforced at the hardware level.
Apple is leading the pack in consumer OS security, but exclaves are a patchwork improvement rather than a total rethinking of system design. That said, this is probably the biggest security shift in mainstream OS design in the last decade, and it will take years before we see its full impact.
How can Tesla be liable for this? You should not trust software to drive your car without human intervention.
I don't understand the US culture where everyone is entitled to sue everyone.
I hate to be that guy, but Apple built their own platform and they can bend the rules as they see fit.
Spotify should just quit said platform if they don't like the rules and ask their "fans" to follow them over to other platforms. I know this is not likely to happen but, oh boy, what a move. Let's all jump into the water and let the Apple platform be an Apple service ghost town.
On the other hand I do want to see Apple slapped on the hand by the European Commission and level the ground for all developers, specially indie ones.
I love the following comment because it begs the question: Where do we draw the line? When do we, as a society, stop contemplating every single person special needs? When do we stop the "everyone is a snowflake" mentality?
"Very disappointing. The most stupid change ever made. I found the new color offensive to me and many i know so change it to another color".
I am glad to see an American stating the following:
>If we peremptorily strike country X, why shouldn't country X have a right to do the same to us, and to our children and grandchildren in future years?
