I hate Apple, they're ruining computers.
1. Devaluing general-purpose computing.
2. Disposable devices with soldered-in batteries and no upgradeability.
3. Removing headphone sockets so they can nickel-and-dime with irritating dongles and ridiculously expensive wireless headphones.
4. Disallowing personal backups using your own key to incentivize the use of expensive icloud storage.
5. App-store corruption.
6. Dodging tax in my country.
7. A million examples of shitty hardware design and then blaming the customer somehow, eg "you're holding it wrong", dust-attractant garbage keyboards, overheating gpus, etc etc
What a shitty, penny pinching piece of shit company. The most expensive devices and they still want to squeeze their customers more.
Literally everything they do trades privacy/usability for money, and the cherry on the shit sundae is always insulting their customers intelligence by somehow claiming it's for their own good.
And now we get probably the very worst thing they've done:
7. Legitimizing on-device scanning and adversarial devices.
I dearly wish they would go out of business because they're ruining technology, something I've loved my whole life.
I never even bought one of their bullshit locked-down garbage disposable devices and they're still ruining things for me with their influence on the market.
Fuck you, Apple. Fuck you in every way. You're the worst hardware manufacturer and the worst software manufacturer.
Go to hell.
