In this video podcast, Bryan Chaffin and John Kheit ask whether the macOS High Sierra root access flaw indicates that Apple is FUBAR or was a simple SNAFU. They also discuss the huge spike in Bitcoin and whether or not we’re seeing a bubble. And speaking of bubbles, some Tesla critics say that company is experiencing its own. The cap the show with a look at The History Channel’s The Curse of Oak Island, and Bryan has a theory about the most recent episodes. (WARNING NSFW: PROFANITY & RANTS)

Bryan and John K:
Not having heard your podcast, I’ll cast my vote for FUBAR, as SNAFU would imply that this FU situation at Apple is normal, which I think it is anything but, as evidenced by the strong Apple community reaction and 24h turnaround on the fix.
You could even get away with labelling it TARFU.
And, but for the 24h turnaround on the patch, you could’ve even called it SUSFU after a day or so.
But not SNAFU.
May this never be ‘normal’.
