    But it’s not a silent Apple update. It’s literally a beta release for beta users and you have to click update to update!

    For fucks sake. If a headline said “Mr Roger’s ran someone over with his car and didn’t tell anyone about it” would you believe it or be slightly incredulous? This user didn’t even post the actual headline, which mentioned it was a beta. Does no one have critical thinking skills anymore?

    It’s like believing Microsoft purposefully puts in idiotic bugs and security vulnerabilities into their OS multiple times a month. They’re not doing it on purpose, they’re just completely incompetent.

      “if I read a headline” that’s how I started my comment. “If I read A headline”

      I did not say anything about this one. I just expressed empathy at the users misunderstanding of the original post.

        I understood it was a hypothetical headline, but it sounded like you were implying that that was what actually happened here, otherwise why mention “silent” at all?
