I feel like Apple is to some extent the last bastion of this idea, at least as far as big tech companies go. (You could probably lump HP and Dell in there too, but to a lesser extent in my opinion).
Since they produce hardware, they have are in a fairly unique place to push on device computing. Since their products are expensive, they don’t need to chase down every bit of extra “as a service” revenue at the long term expense of the product.
- aja12 2y agoOh please Apple is extremely user-hostile, going to great lengths to strip users of control of their devices, gaslighting them into staying in the walled garden (with great success), while simultaneously siphoning as much user data as it can get away with, and employing as many dark patterns as it can to prevent the users from exercising their rights (it's worse than Meta in this regard). Truly, Apple always amazes me with its ability to put expensive rose tinted glasses on its users's noses.
