Episode 356: Apple Beta Software Changes, Authenticator Blues, and RIP SuperDrive

Listen Later

Apple releases updates to its beta software, including two versions of macOS Sequoia. Upcoming changes to Gatekeeper security will make it more difficult to run third-party software that hasn't been approved by Apple. A bug in Microsoft Authenticator, the two factor authenticating tool, locks users out of accounts. And Apple sells out of a popular piece of hardware.

Show Notes:

  • Apple removes Control-click option for skipping Gatekeeper (in macOS Sequoia beta)
  • macOS Sequoia adds weekly permission prompt for screenshot and screen recording apps
  • Hands-On With Safari's New Distraction Control in the iOS 18 Beta
  • Apple's Old-School SuperDrive Is Out of Stock and Unlikely to Return
