In short, it used to ping a google url to decide if the internet is working and now, it pings a different url? This is cute, given that Apple "may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, device identifiers, IP address, location information, credit card information" [0] any time you "download a software update" or "connect to our services". Where is my fix to opt out of this garbage? When they say "connect to our services", do they mean automatic checks for os updates that all their products do without an option to opt out? This concern over privacy on the level of individuals 'fixing' things is utter lunacy. You've fixed one of a thousand cuts your privacy is killed with, congratulations :) [0] https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/
