An empirically baseless conspiracy theory.

That was my point. Apple isn't actually capable of completely avoiding detection.
Anyway, just as I don't trust Apple absolutely, I don't distrust Apple absolutely either. They do some user-hostile things, which are richly deserving of criticism, but I prefer to engage with facts and evidence rather than idle speculation and paranoia.
- 1over137 2y ago>An empirically baseless conspiracy theory. You misunderstand I think. I don't think it's likely. It would be easy to catch them. I also don't distrust Apple completely. I was (pedantically) replying to your comment that "They can't push software to my computer, because I've blocked the software update mechanism with Little Snitch". "Can't" is too strong. They could is what I'm saying, as in, they have the ability/possibility to do so. They can't time travel, because that's impossible. But they can establish network connections, because they control the firmware and kernel, which exceeds your control via Little Snitch.
