  • Scaling, MacOS has no actual scaling it will only lower the resolution, and using Retina on anything that isn’t sold in an Apple store (and even then) just simply does not work. It essentially has no HiDPI support past using native resolution with slightly larger text that is not adhered to by most of the operating system itself. I am at a loss at why you think this is well handled, what criteria are you using?





  • The honest truth is you would have to be one of those in the woods off the grid types to actually protect yourself. For example, many utilities will require an SSN or SIN to credit check you along with obviously your name and service address. They obviously do not do that in house so they goto third parties (like the guys you mentioned) who keep troves of this information on file and swap information amongst themselves when beneficial. Considering that about half of the world’s adult age people may be in this list I would say there is more than a decent chance you are in this breach and probably have been part of others.

    Also this is just one attack vector, there always exist other methods such as just paying someone with “authorization” for your data, be it a credit agency through deceit, a private investigator who does no vetting, or just bribing a government official/police officer.
