I played around with the MacBooks at the store today and now I’m depressed they’re all just so terrible now  they still had an old MacBook Air on display as a reminder they once knew how to make computers

FMguru posted:apple cares about privacy because they figure it will be a key point of differentiation between themselves and android, especially as they become heavily involved in medical devices nah it's because all their attempts to monetize user data are gigantic failures and pivoting to respecting user privacy is a good way to spin that

make sure those files are backed up elsewhere though, because icloud is a joke there's a reason they had to keep renaming it

back in like 2000 before the itunes store and w/e deals apple did with the RIAA, itunes on the mac was pretty awesome. once they started with the DRM and all everything went to hell and has never recovered. so yeah, a lot of the reason itunes is hosed is probably from too much effort from the wrong people being applied.

not nearly as hosed as if apple hosed up the iphone of course, not being diversified at all does make for a lot of products you can let languish without real impact
