None the less, it was a problem that Apple had to fix and CR wasn’t the only person reporting issue.
Did Apple pull a VW with this new Safari version?
We may see.
Have you ever,ever,ever posted anything on FR connected to elections,courts,societal trends?
No,I didn't think so.
That's the sort of slimy biased language I expect from the lying leftists in Big Media.
So, according to the story, CR made two mistakes:
1)They used the default browser supplied by Apple
and
2) They found a bug in Apple’s software.
Apple’s apologist goes a bit over the top with this defense.
Glad to see you posting. Hope this finds you felling better than the other night.
No, Okie, CR was the only one reporting the issue. Very few users surf the internet with the Developer's menu turned on, which is what is necessary to even turn OFF Safari Caching. It was only reported after CR found it because they were doing something no-one ever does. It is NOT a standard user mode, ever. It is a DEVELOPER mode for those who DEVELOP Websites so they can test them optimized for various browsers. Most people who do that are not going to be doing that on battery mode and would never notice it.
Quit trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. I bet you haven't a clue how to enable the developer menu, do you?
I DO have it turned on because I have a specific purpose for it.

What is that? The fortieth time you personally have asked your insulting, snarky question? It has to be close to that.
For AT LEAST THE FORTIETH TIME, yes, I have posted many articles associated with conservatism, societal trends, particularly courts, and the election. Give it a rest, forty is enough times to keep asking that question, unless you are too stupid to understand the first first forty times I answered you, ASSHAT! Now if you want to continue to prove that YOU are too stupid to grasp that same answer, keep asking and keep proving you are that stupid.
You misquoted the actual facts, deliberately, I think.
CR also deliberately TURNED OFF SEVERAL SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEM FUNCTIONS which then crippled the OS's ability to function correctly because they DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW UNIX™ and Apple's macOS SYSTEMS WORK! For the simple reason THEY DO NOT WORK THE SAME AS WINDOWS PCs.
CR made an ignorant, erroneous assumption that bit them in the ass.
For those who don’t know...Intel’s power management is very complex and has evolved over the years.
It is now much simpler to code for but its probably some legacy software that wasn’t quite right with the latest hardware.
Now objectively, Apple did goof on the latest Macbook Pro.
I was all set to buy one and when I saw the result, I picked up a new 2015 instead.
“here on what is primarily a *political* website”
The fact that YOU have to say “primarily” means you know that this website is not ONLY for politics, and people are allowed to post on a whole variety of topics.
If you don’t like a topic, DON’T CLICK THE LINK. Problem solved, if you are not an attention whore.
“It can also accomplish good things, such as when an auto manufacturer has to go back and modify a faulty suspension system that might cause a rollover during a rapid maneuver to avoid an accident.”
As an aside, not exactly a ‘settled’ notion:

They used the same test standards for everyone. I’ll agree that CR was wrong if Apple puts a sticker on each box saying that they are entitled to the special ed modified test instead of the standard test given to the rest of the class.
I’m quite sure that Apple could design a test they could pass. Or they could change out the default browser. Or better yet, they could modify Puppy Linux to run on their hardware and use it instead of the Apple OS, and probably double battery life.
I gave up on CR when they gave Obama and interview and supported obamacare
That’s just nonsense. There have been numerous reports of battery problems. If I remember correctly Apple sent out a patch to not show remaining time left some time back.
I know you feel obligated to promote Apple’s position but some realism is required to remain believable.
That's the Swordy I know; welcome back, glad you're feeling better, FRiend!
Yes, they tend to be watermelons - Green on the outside, Red inside. So it’s a bit of a surprise they actually went after the computer of the liberal elites.
The 2016 MacBook Pro works as advertised for 99.9% of all users of the device, unless someone deliberately turns OFF several Operating System functions.
Perhaps Apple should not have permitted that option, but exactly how is that a "goof" that effects only a tiny fraction of 2016 MacBook Pro users who do it deliberately, intending to cripple the computer from working as intended?
