although I think I still have it because I think the app's not sandboxed, a global key modifier in Keyboard Maestro, which is option C, which centers the front mouse window, which is surprisingly useful if you're taking screenshots and stuff like that. And it's a cool thing that Keyboard Maestro can do. And I used option C because I couldn't think of any app that I used where option C was a

I guess if Keyboard Meister was a sandbox app, that wouldn't work. And there's a comment in Apple's developer forums from an Apple Frameworks engineer saying the following. This was an intentional change in Mac OS Sequoia to limit the ability of key logging malware to observe keys in other applications.

The issue of concern was that shift and option can be used to generate alternate characters and passwords, such as the zero with a line through it, which is shift option O. So this is like... Basically, apps can't, I guess, again, maybe it's only sandbox app, can't monitor for keystrokes globally that use shift and option because those are modifiers that you might use when typing a password.

A lot of people in the forums also had trouble parsing like, yeah, but... is this like, how does it stop key logging? Aren't they just registering with this like an API call to register for a hotkey? They're just registering for option C. They're not going to see any other keystrokes unless someone hits option C. How could you get someone's password that way?

It's very confusing, but clearly it was intentional. And so, yeah, I hope you didn't have any global hotkeys that used either only shift or only option.

Maybe they'll reverse it in 15.2.

Did it give you the option to charge anyway, like this feedback said?

Well, anyway, look for this coming soon to a Mac near you, maybe. Yeah, exactly. I mean, I think it's a good idea. Like, if they have these liquid detectors and they can detect that there's liquid in the port, saying, hey, I know you just plugged it in, but I'm choosing not to charge because I've detected liquid. And again, maybe not with an option to override, but...

It may be in really humid places. They get that every time they plug in. But yeah, it's good for macOS to get those features as well because anybody who's got a USB-C port, there could be water in there. Yep.

This is such a incredibly harsh judgment in a situation where Google was already way more open than Apple, and yet the jury decided, you may claim that you're open, but you've constructed all these deals and all these incentives that you really aren't open. So A, you're a monopoly, and B, the stuff you're doing impairs competition.

i don't think this bodes well for apple we'll see different cases sometimes uh google has gotten worse judgments because they like were claiming that they were open but they weren't whereas apple never claims that they are they're just like it's totally closed but like oh you know it's it's so hard for third-party apps to get going you know how it makes it really hard for third-party apps to go and completely never allowing them at all in any possible way like apple had been doing right
