Apple keeps its promise with High Sierra and new Macs, but is less helpful in the log, and courts danger in AI.
APFS
Unicode is wonderful, a foundation for culture, but flawed. With characters that are visually indistinguishable having different encodings, it is rotting our filenames, URLs, and strings.
Yesterday’s Keynote at WWDC confirmed that the next major release of macOS, dubbed High Sierra, will be released […]
Its annual developer conference will reveal how Apple’s new file system will roll out in macOS 10.13, and determine its adoption and success.
It’s tempting just to put the folder in the Trash. But this could be a quick way to acquire a more complex problem.
The word looks identical, but uses different Unicode characters. How can you tell the difference? There are important security implications, and more.
Apple spills some of its beans to a select group of the press, and we start to explore the new features expected in macOS 10.13.
Some detailed guidance to help you make a test volume in Apple’s new APFS format, in either case-insensitive or -sensitive variant.
Case-insensitive APFS is not at chaotic as the case-sensitive variant. But there are still plenty of problems which developers and users need to prepare for.
APFS is not currently safe to use with names which might have Unicode normalisation issues – which means it is only safe with a limited ASCII character set.
