Apple Cut Ties With Supplier Super Micro Computer Over Server Security Concerns

What happens when an IOS/macOS device comes preinstalled with spyware?

Always ensure the checksum matches! Apple shares part of the blame for not requesting SFTP and checksum checking abilities.

That's a surprise.

I dump my AAPL shares and buy GOOG (or GOOGL).

(Disclaimer: to be truthful, I am a longtime shareholder of both companies.)

But you asked, so there it is. Enjoy.

Haha, Google, a company whose declared business model it is to spy on you and sell what it finds.

Apple should build its own servers.

I'm not disagreeing. But buying Sun's server business would have brought a lot of experience in the thin server market, and also in the 4/5U arena too. They wouldn't have had to incorporate Sun's products into their server lineup, but they could have incorporated their knowledge and experience in the engineering to extend the Apple Server Line into more business capable and muscular servers. It could have been a contender!

At a minimum I was wondering why there is no hash value to confirm the firmware updates. Super micro used to be great, but I guess cost cutting affects everybody these days.

Cost cutting "affects" companies that cut development costs to make their products deliver more profit and less value to the buyers...
