My paths were, my keys in this little, you know, the name value pairs, they were the full path. So it was application slash zoom.us.app slash content slash macos.zoom.s. I don't know why they were bundle paths in Dan's thing, but maybe it varies on each system. But anyway, the values are just dates. It's a simple default to write a command to change it.

So I did that for Zoom, which I had recently used to share my screen, and it had complained, and I set its date to 3024. So in theory, it will never complain again. And having a GUI app for this is good if people don't want to mess with like command line stuff or whatever. But many questions are raised by this discovery, right?

So first of all, the whole point of this thing was like, oh, what if someone's spying and you want to be reminded every once in a while to know that someone's spying and yada yada?

Well, if you can just write a value to a P list to override this, anyone who's like spying on someone or like abusive partner or something is just going to Google this, find this result, set the dates forward to 3024 and never have to worry about it again. So what the hell happened?

Like the security benefits of this feature are so easily bypassed that now we're just being annoyed for no reason, right? Before it's like, oh, we're being annoyed, but they can't figure out a way to make this more secure without annoying us and they figure a month interval is good.

But now it's like, actually, there's no security benefit because anyone who cares can Google this in two seconds and download a GUI app that will set all the things to the future.

So this is, I'm assuming Apple will see this and then in a future update to Sequoia, come up with a different, much more secure system that doesn't allow you to run a single default write command or download a GUI app to change this and never have to worry about it again. Because like, what's the point of the feature? It's just annoying people for no reason at that point, right?

And the second thing is, how has life been on Sequoia with these screen recordings? Well, I did use Zoom, and I did share my screen, and it did prompt me. And I'm like, ah, well, Zoom, how often do I share my screen? I think in the, what, week or two I've had Sequoia, I've gotten prompted like four times by four different apps. And it just keeps catching me by surprise.

Just today, I used TechSniper, which, by the way, I still recommend. And what was I using TechSniper for? Not to get fines out of photos. You know what I was using it for? Ah, good old preview. I had a PDF that had text in it. And I wanted to copy and paste that text out of the PDF. But unfortunately, that text was tabular.

And selecting the text in preview and hitting copy and then pasting into a plain text document was just a soup.
