there was no point to be made. I wasn't saying that either platform is insecure. Just seems the link wasn't to show anything other than if you care about security, using the latest version of macos is prudent.
"I don’t consider Windows good enough. Historically there have been to many ways to compromise a Windows-based computer, and new techniques keep showing up with alarming regularity."
And then later
"I am writing this on my newest computer, a Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook running OS X 10.11 El Capitan"
If you're going to knock Windows on a lack of security, at the very least do as much as you can do to protect yourself on a Mac. Note the long list of security fixes in the latest version of MacOS https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222
this is a really great piece of software that is deserving of love/donations. If you've ever wanted a free, supported version of a tool like ida, or a user-friendly tool for assembling/disassembling (radare2 can make use of libraries like keystone/capstone in ways that don't require writing new C code), then you owe it to yourself to donate to, or at least try radare2.
I originally started the project on bitbucket, and never ended up moving it to github. I should probably do that, seeing as it is targeted to a github project.
I helped to test this and have been using it since.
it is much less disruptive to work flow to just add comments in one place rather than add comments and have to go through github's ui for work items, bugs, etc.
I've given it a try before.
I really just prefer the -tui switch on gdb if I want to work with multiple panes. It allows src/console/registers/asm panes. really quite useful.
I'm glad you love your macbook, but would a similar-enough computer _really_ not do it for you? When I upgraded from a netbook as my main machine to my Toshiba Z830, it was amazing, but then again, that is comparing a $200 machine to a $700 machine.
I can't really see that same $500 difference in price making something like the $1200 MBP so much better than what I've got, with marginal utility and all that going.
I don't by any means think that getting a high end machine is a bad idea, but I do think that once you get something that is a high quality item, you definitely reach the "good enough for me" stage.
