Nobody in those countries believes that Israel is fighting a defensive war. They refuse to assist Israel until the US steps in, and even then they draw pretty hard lines in the sand. Jordan doesn't trust Israeli administration of the W

I don't even think it offers a meaningful degree of security. It's a form of theater, you have to be hand-selected to perform the audit that Apple promised. Most sysadmins know that hash matching only mitigates a small subset of

I mean, Apple's PCC audits require them to individually vet each auditor before they're allowed to see the PCC nodes. If Apple extended that philosophy to other vendors then yeah, it would be deliberately unfair and anticompetitiv

I don't think they used it in an antisemitic manner. Empire politics have been called parasitic even before WWII, and Israel's reliance on foreign aid does epitomize the cost of enabling this type of occupation. Americans are bled

That's one way of looking at it. Alternatively; Apple had their pick of the litter at TSMC for half a decade, and Nvidia beat them to 5 trillion total valuation with their design chops alone.

Even if other vendors had Apple's hardware, it's doubtful that Apple would give competing services equal footing. See: The App Store. The hardware isn't a real justification, just a convenient fig leaf.

Maybe it's tired to you. The reason why it's a decade-old shtick is because Apple spent a decade adopting Microsoft-tier design patterns. They push advertisements in the OS and first-party apps, and then refuse to improve the expe

This retort would hit a lot differently if macOS wasn't an advertisement-infested shithole of an OS in 2026. I'm a classic macOS fan, but it's time for us to admit that it's not a premium OS anymore. It's a service
