Disclosure: I own and use Apple hardware both for personal and business use. I am less than perfectly happy with both their mobile and general computing platforms (especially the latter, macOS, which crashes with alarming irregularity for me). The parent comment raises a point which I frequently see in HN threads: Apple, despite deficiencies, solves concrete privacy problems for regular, non-tech users, often in ways the users haven’t thought of ahead of time. I often see comments such as these upvoted; yet they have no responses, neither in the form of rebuttals nor supporting confirmations. What gives here? Is there some silent majority which prefers not to weigh in on these matters, or is this merely observation bias oh my part? Edit: syntax
