alt Hacker NewsClassic GitHub issue thread: Someone shows up and tries to explain it’s not a bug and never could have worked. Everyone else points out that it does work on other Mac hardware. Person doubles down and tries to claim that the bug was that it ever worked, and not working is the correct behavior. New Mac OS beta release fixes the bug and makes it work. Nothing related to the repo was changed.

Also classic, someone finally jumping in with a full and insightful explanation. What a turnaround!
So, are they gonna add official support for this in the wifi standard someday? It sounds like the way that this works is a non-standard workaround
> the bug was that it ever worked
This is actually what’s interesting
remember how there used to be people whose lifestyle was answering Stack Overflow questions? 3 years from now we're going to be looking at charts showing engagement from GitHub Lifestyle people going straight down too.
Like that probably still open huge github issue with hundreds of comments, the one about how docker will blow your firewall wide open.
I loved the last comment where he inferred no one knew the difference between a MAC address and a Mac computer, meanwhile he's fundamentally misunderstanding how networking works and making bizarre statements about wifi that literally everyone disagreed with him on. I bet he's still insisting he was right even though it's all fixed now because he doesn't get how VM network bridging works.
