- PearlRiver 9mo agoThis is an interesting question. I started using computers in the late 90s when there were no guardrails and everything was permitted so I know what I am doing- or at the very least only blame myself if I fuck it up. But your average 20 year old who only knows an iPhone would be out of his/her depth quickly. Computers are no longer made for me.

- m463 9mo agoAlso all apple telemetry. ---- semi-unrelated tip - on ios, most telemetry options can be disabled under Settings -> privacy & security -> Analytics & Improvements However, there is a whole separate telemetry setting: Settings -> search -> help apple improve search note that this doesn't show up if you search for it in settings. (try searching for "help apple" or "improve") and of course the whole "learn from this app" and other siri settings that are all individual settings.
