- Gigachad 4y agoPlenty of reasons. Fetching the updated list of malware domains is one, fetching the list of revoked certificates, checking for available updates. Checking the list of toggled feature flags, some features roll out in an OS update before being turned on. The addition of AirTags worked like this so it just worked day one when the product was available to buy. This is all stuff the average user wants and benefits from.
- _chu1 4y agoNo way to turn it off either. Nobody who sells me a product needs to tell me whats good for me
- Gigachad 4y ago>Nobody who sells me a product needs to tell me whats good for me That's exactly what buying a product is. You are letting the seller make the decisions for you, the alternative is building it yourself where you have the full freedom to do anything. Your job as a consumer is to decide what sellers you think are aligned with your needs or when to build yourself.
- pr0zac 4y agoGlad to see another informed consumer who buys eggs and only uses them for recipes provided by the grocery store! What I can’t figure out is why computers include input devices when you aren’t supposed to be making any decisions about how they’re used.
- dneixnsks 4y agoAre the arguments made by this account always stupid AF? Based on the history, I’d say “yes”
- cscurmudgeon 4y agoI mean some consumers have decided Apple is not selling what it promised and are taking a legal route. Good for them. Just because you have a reason for violating a promise doesn’t make it ok. Maybe make that clear in the first place instead of burying it in a TOS.
- dev_tty01 4y agoThere is a perfect solution available. Don't buy the product. No need to get angry about it. It just isn't for you.
- Xorakios 4y agoSo no... "refrigerate after opening" "don't eat grapefruit when taking this medication" "please use seatbelts" "keep your passwords safe" or "use password managers" There is a joke, well semi-joke, in product liability circles that every warning label you see on a ladder is because someone won a $10 million lawsuit because people fell down using a ladder. Things break. Nothing is perfect. (edited to add the ladder example)
