Somewhat related: Vault has a PKI backend that can help facilitate this. You'll need to create some tooling around it, but we've had great success rolling it out at my company.
Not surprised to see this, I've run into many issues with Meraki devices over the past 2+ years.
Their support team is amateur at best; at one point I had 6 Meraki engineers working on a DHCP problem (yeah...DHCP) and their recommendation after several weeks of troubleshooting - do a factory reset.
I have dozens of stories...don't even get me started.
Two weeks ago I called 911 after hearing a loud car crash within a few blocks of my apartment. Took out my phone, placed the call, and listened to music for ~6 minutes before I was able to talk to someone. Once the 911 dispatcher took all of the information I had, the call was transferred (another ~3 minute wait). The original dispatcher introduced herself to my local dispatcher as "911 north".
People block ads because they can. It's that simple. Morals and philosophy have little room when all it takes is a few mouse clicks to disable virtually all ads. The barrier of entry (or de-entry, if you will) is incredibly low.
> Ads support the entrance of new products into the market.
It's going to be difficult for this trend to stop until there are some technical hurdles built. Until then, I think it's unrealistic to say we should subject ourselves to ads because "historically the market has worked that way". It may have worked that way in the past, but times are changing.
Open source software can be trusted as much as we can trust ourselves - and that's as good as trust gets. I'll take that any day over trusting one party with a vested interest in making money.
Like you, I appreciate the sentiment - happy to hear Apple speaking up. However this shouldn't change how we use Apple products. I operate under the implication that the device is compromised from the factory. Closed source software cannot be trusted, good faith is not enough.
