> P.S.: if you care, you can pretty much figure out what any secret project is. And no, I’m not going to disclose how you do it, but really? Trivially easy.

Let me reveal how... and you won't believe how simple it is. You Google it.

Once you know the codename, the whole security theatre comes to an end for the non indoctrinated because the moment you Google "<codename> apple project", you see a bunch of results from obscure websites. You click on them and shit, they are accurate leaks.

Same goes for internal utilities as well. Google "<internal utility name> apple" and you sometimes even get a link to a DMG.

So basically Apple's obsession with secrecy is nothing more than security theatre causing inefficiencies within the company.

The leaks are mostly from Chinese domains which makes me thing they happen from the manufacturing side of the business.
