Neither is your password showing up in a password hint field (or anywhere for that matter... why is it even stored unhashed?).It's not stored unhashed. And the password hint field never showed the password, it always showed the password hint.
The bug was Disk Utility's UI was accidentally using the password field instead of the password hint field when passing the data to the underlying API.
> Neither is logging in with a blank password enabling a disabled root user.
Stupid and awful bug, sure, but I actually can understand it. Something that's worked fine for years breaks because of some change to some underlying system, and there weren't any existing tests to see what happens if you try and log in as root (root has been disabled by default for something like 15 years, so it doesn't surprise me that people don't test trying to log in with it).
But apple.com not rendering right in Safari? That doesn't make sense, you know damn well apple.com is basically designed to be viewed in Safari and everybody that works on it is going to be using Safari with it.
And Safari not being able to load HTTPS sites makes even less sense. That literally breaks most of the web. This has to be an issue with the local computer.
