Wow. Passing that on to some Mac people I know.
Also, remind them if they upgrade/upgraded to High Sierra after the patch was pushed out, they will need to seek it out and install it. As of now it won't automatically appear in the App Store as a recommended update
I can't think of a time when I have seen Apple act in this manner.
The security update is rolling out on the Mac App Store now, and it should be installed by all users running macOS High Sierra as soon as possible. Regardless, starting later today, Apple said the security update will be automatically installed on all Macs running macOS High Sierra 10.13.1.
Apple’s rushed software patch could be just as buggy as the code it was supposed to fix. Wired’s Andy Greenberg reports that multiple Mac users who had not yet upgraded their operating system from the original version of High Sierra to the new 10.13.1 update, but installed Apple’s patch, are seeing the root problem reoccur after they install the latest macOS system update. Reinstalling Apple’s separate patch hasn’t helped these users, unless they reboot and then install it.
So this is pretty ****ed up. Net censorship getting to dangerous levels.
People are getting locked out of innocuous Google Docs for supposedly violating Terms of Service
People working in their own documents stored on Google's cloud are getting ToS violation/lockouts based on whatever content in the document is deemed "bad"
Sure, it may be a glitch, but it shows that Google might be monitoring the content of your files/documents.

I have an Arduino that I did some cool stuff with a few years ago... and keeping thinking of great projects to do, but can't ever get to.
