Google Chrome Update Damages macOS File System (opens in new tab)

Do you have statistics? My perception is the opposite.

Right, because SIP is working as intended.

> There's very little reason to disable SIP otherwise

This…is not true. It's not just Hackintoshes, it's ANY hardware that lacks a SIP-compliant driver. Avid editors use a lot of hardware, hence frequently MUST disable SIP.

But sure: blame the user.

The article discusses this - SIP often disabled in this industry to install unsuppoted graphics drivers.

I'm guessing because your original post contained didn't explain any of that; it did indeed seem like you were implying this update was aimed at hackintoshes.

From my experience, very few of those video editing workstations were likely anything but official Apple hardware. Hollywood (and connected) studios have far too much money invested into their ventures to take a chance on unsupported hardware/software combinations to that degree.

I think deactivating SIP is necessary to use non-supported graphics boards (e.g. NVIDIA) which aren't uncommon for video editing.

Everyone in Hollywood was convinced it was Avid. Turns out, it was actually Chrome.

I read that as sarcasm, especially with the leading qualifier ;)
