This video is geared towards people who are dependent on MacOS - they will not be left out of the privacy battle! Linux Guide coming soon!

Also, on covering your camera, I had always heard that the camera indicator light is connect to the camera directly, so that the camera canNOT be turned on without you knowing it. There are caveats where it is theoretically possible to hack the camera for a split second, long enough to take a photo and transmit it to a remote server or attacker's computer, such that you wouldn't recognize the brief light turning on. That does not touch on remote microphone activations.

While Little Snitch, in my opinion, is tedious unless you're an IT person who specializes in macOS and its processes, I recommend MicroSnitch, from the same developer. All it does is watermark your screen when either the camera or microphone is turned on. Tje watermark goes away when the device is turned off, but it also logs each event.

Thank you for a very informative video! I have a problem I hope you can solve: I use MacOS, when I go to sharing, ‘remote login’ is always ON. When I try to turn it off, it says (approx., since mine is in Norwegian) "Remote login is terminated..." but it is not turned off. When I close System preferences and open it again, Remote login is on again! Is this due to virus or hacking, and what should I do to turn it off?

I don't even use mac but the fact they have an option to not allow certain programs to fetch files honestly puts it above Windows for privacy in my eyes, I just wish there was a "done way" to find out if Mac or Windows is better for privacy. I know in Michael Bazzell's book "What it takes to disappear" he mentions that he always recommends his clients to use Mac-OS even if its not on a native mac piece of hardware (Hackintosh) I wonder if that's because of the ease of use and more programs that Mac-OS has rather then Linux or if Mac-OS really is more private then Windows.

Improvements to an OS is less effective if the machine you use has a micro OS (see Minix & Intel/AMD management engines) running at the hardware level negating many "Improvements".

Can u do vedio on what apple collects data through iPhone

[alanjackson]

Hi I'm looking for a method of how to essentially have 2 independent working computers from my Mac mini. I need a 2nd for trading sports events so there can't be any sort of delay as split second timing is essential. I would need this to be anonymous from my Mac mini and my IP. Can you or anyone advise please? Thank you.

[chrisc.]

Can you make a video on how to use cryptomator?

[nnmann]
