    Hanging up on Data & Privacy Login

    We are setting up a new 27 inch iMac here. It is running Big Sur 11.6. I create first user upon setup with no issue. I create another user - standard user. Everytime I try first login on that user, the OS hangs up on Data & Privacy window. I just get the spinning wheel. Any clues?

    What comes after OSX/macOS?

    I remember when Steve Jobs introduced OSX, and its NEXTSTEP and UNIX underpinnings, and I seem to recall him saying this was laying the foundation for the next 20 years of the Mac operating system.

    Are malware scanner/blockers necessary or even helpful in 2021?

    I am currently using Malwarebytes and the price for a subscription isn't too bad. But obviously, any price is too much if the app can't actually do anything about the worst malware out there. And another question is if I am even in danger, considering that I'm just using this Mac privately, as...
