| Oh they aren't a frontier on this. Undoing user configuration is well tested in Windows land. |

| This is a problem everywhere, Apple does the same thing on MacOS by reverting privacy/security grants to apps |

| ▲ | threetonesun 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Reverting... to on? I've seen some stuff in Apple-land where I'm pretty sure it went back to the default option after an update but I've never seen anything get granted more permissions. | | |
| ▲ | mcmcmc 2 days ago | parent [-] | | No, like specific apps that have been granted full disk access etc lose their permissions. It’s hell for IT, constantly breaks AV. I would not characterize that as reverting to a default. More often it’s a breaking change for how the security model works that ends up requiring reauthorization | | |
| ▲ | threetonesun 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | Ah, sure, it's annoying but it's never giving new permissions you didn't give it before. And yes "revert to default" is probably not what's happening, but reverting to forcing a specific permission grant when the existing one was superceeded or replaced. | | |
| ▲ | mcmcmc 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Fair, it’s still an example of them not respecting user configuration | | |
| ▲ | lbreakjai 2 days ago | parent [-] | | I understand the rationale. The app you granted full disk access three months ago might have significantly changed. You can't reset the permissions for a given app after every update, as you might end up prompting the user three times per week. |
