Crash reports and usage telemetry is different from information you can use to sell ads.
- mercurysmessage 10y agoYou mean like Telemetry in Windows 10? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/basic-level-windows-diagnostic-events-and-fields https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/basic... I didn't even know that Apple collected information until I saw an article detailing how to secure mac OS. Which, I think is worse.
- mattnewton 10y agoThat perception means they risk to lose real market share if they get caught doing something shady. Which means they don't do shady things in my experience. I don't want to turn this into a tired apple-vs-windows thread, so if you can't see why Apple's lack of ads on their desktop is indicative of a fundamentally different view of their users, and a selling point for me, you are free to do so. I see a difference worth paying for (and you are free to call me a sucker I guess).
