    > "Suffice it to say, I have ordered a Linx PC, which will replace the Mac."

    That was a sentence uttered with the misplaced confidence of a man who had no idea his real troubles were only just beginning.

    Consent Prompt Fatigue and overload is a serious problem. To perform the most basic task across my iPhone + watch I need to suffer half a dozen consent & pin prompts. Often at the most sensitive and difficult times: it's raining, I have gloves, I'm juggling a power tool or something dangerous. My devices continue pin prompt me every 30 seconds like I'm holding the Nuclear football.

    We used to respect that credential/prompt fatigue resulted in worse security, then the lawyers got their way, engineers / product managers conceded, and now users are punished with useless prompting every 10 seconds.

    The only way forward will be for some a-hole product managers to push back on this nonsense.
