Speaking of an operating system for toddlers:
Apple is eliminating the option to Control-click to open Mac software that is not correctly signed or notarized in macOS Sequoia. To install apps that Gatekeeper blocks, users will need to open up System Settings and go to the Privacy and Security section to “review security information” before being able to run the software.

Battery life should be good with that screen!
It’s not just toddlers that don’t know how to treat their computers – I regularly have to clean malware off my family members’ computers. They are adults who should know better, and yet don’t. My sister knows exactly which sketchy sites she keeps getting malware from, and yet keeps going back to them!
While I would certainly be annoyed by this if I used a mac myself, I don’t, and the people who ask me to clean up their computers do, so I welcome this change 🙂
I ran across a great quote recently.
Everyone needs the guardrails; we are toddlers.
This sounds easier then the current process, and it sounds like I will have more control over handing out the permissions. Overall an improvement.
I’m going drop this here.
