“If Woody had only gone right to the police(used a vpn), this would not have happened.”

It’s not like a VPN is some arcane knowledge. I guarantee Claude would have told him or practically yelled at him if he asked how he could have secured his mac exposed to the open internet.

Glad he actually acknowledged it and is getting tailscale or similar.

yeah, interviews like that are artifical bullshit interviews whose main purpose is ensure conformity with the way the company thinks rather seek innovation. Be glad you didnt make it thru

Re:James Damore and three others end Google suit on Saturday May 09, 2020 @07:41AM (#23123908)
Was it Damore or Kevin Cernekee who quietly joined Apple to work on macos? I’m curious if they continue to be so outspoken there. My guess is their views would have to be kept to themselves. Apple really doesn’t tolerate unwanted attention.
