![]() ![]() If that doesn’t work check your monitor for some sort of reset option and try that. I’m assuming doing that triggers some internal memory reset making the monitor reestablish a fresh connection with the laptop. Did you unplug your monitor from the outlet for a couple minutes? It isn’t enough to just turn it off, it has to be fully unplugged long enough so that all the power discharges from the monitor itself. apple does do a pretty good job of conveying what releases include and which CVEs have been patched, upon each release. no need to lazily push fear onto other readers in the group. many bug fixes likely won't even be necessary for many users use cases, but do get patched for anyone that utilizes features/services that may be vulnerable. of course not everyone knows that off the top of their head, but it's quite ignorant to believe that nobody else understands what a changelog is, or that security updates are important.Īlso, just because there are some bug fixes available doesn't mean that you're immediately at higher risk simply because the known CVE has been patched on your device. When i see a new apple update has been released, the first thing i typically do is search apple ht 201222 (bookmarks are not always accessible) cause that always gives me the link to apples security updates across their devices. Why make the assumption that you're the only reader here who understands apple release notes? pretty ignorant thing to believe, especially considering OP shared the security link in this post. These are mostly security updates that also come with some bug fixes, not updating puts you in unnecessary risks Y’all don’t understand that the actual patch notes are only a tiny part of updates like this. It's not as simple as someone sitting in a command center and seeing a map of all the devices in the world that are vulnerable and hitting a nuke button as some people make it seem. This isn't denying that there are tons of holes into your computer, but we have to zoom out and recognize that in order to access a lot of those holes, sometimes there's an explicit request to require physical access, or to download and run an executable, etc. Even in the corporate IT world, aside from 0-day exploits a lot of updates are pushed out far slower than what consumers get. I can bet you that system does NOT get its Patch Tuesday updates. Can you imagine the number of devices people NEVER update? Go to a museum and you'll see exhibits where some Windows XP computer has been running the same software since 2005. And that's in an environment where you TRY to keep things up to date. You can run IT for an office and despite your best efforts you can easily find 5% of your devices that aren't updated. If you actually think about it the number of out of date devices is crazy. You should update, but you should also not freak out about not updating. ![]()
