Ah, the classic "fix it just to shut the error up" without actually looking at the cause. Lowest bidder contractor probably.


I had some audio issues today on a zoom and they helpfully asked for me to sudo to fix the problem

"just to shut the error up" is about right.


Its amazing how many Zoom screenshots have spelling or grammar errors, like this one. For a supposedly US based company, its pretty clear a lot of the UI text isn't written by a native English speaker.

I'm not intedning to demean non-native English speakers or their ability to write code - but this looks pretty bad from a QA standpoint.

edit: elsewhere in the thread its shown most of the software engineering team is in China, which explains this.


what version of macos are you using?


Actually, killing coreaudiod can be necessary every once in a while.


Having worked with CSP this isn't really something that can be fixed. If you disable scripts from all but approved sources your reporting URI will be flooded with reports from browser extensions and malware trying to inject code. The best you can do is silence the reports after they arrive (or in this case just allow them, yuck).


You are supposed to set a strict policy and disable the reporting. Reporting is for dev/debugging purpose, it’s not meant to be the end state.
