US bases were also attacked remotely this year too, but yet this attack was still "unprecedented" to the upper management of these grocer chains. Smells like incompetence to me personally.
one of the reasons that BSDs are less popular is because of the community advice of "The best supported machine is a ten + year old thinkpad."
so yeah you're right there isn't a finish line, but you do need to keep up with current stuff enough to give a possible fan base a decent selection of hardware to run the thing on.
in other words : if the companies that the BSDs already had a hard time keeping up with hasten development via LLMs the gap will grow ever wider until a critical point is hit and the thing becomes irrelevant.
if linux is the only show in town that supports flashy-hardware-Z then it's going to drive audience migration.
the thing that has allowed openbsd to adopt new things so slowly is a rock-solid set of core competencies; the amount that bsd is entrenched into the internet itself makes irrelevance hard to imagine -- but it's still a facet.
I still hear people bitch that BSDs don't support WiFi, and that hasn't been true in years and years.
This isn't unprecedented at all, several US bases were hit with this same thing in the last couple months. These companies security officers just aren't paying attention.
Indeed it is one in the same. The middle layer of MacOS has been rotting for years, the introduction of gatekeeper and SIP has made downloading and running programs or observing your system a pain. Software developers are being pushed toward App models and many other examples exist. For people who simply need a computer that works MacOS is moving futher away from that goal with every release.
