Examples? @Nordhand

they will clock down your old phones to make you buy the laitest one. they are big on making it laptops desigined to fail just as your warrenty runs out. you have to rights to self repar any items. the list is long on consumer hostiles polisyes they run

I mean the reason Siri is so bad compared to Cortana or Alexa is becauase Apple doesn't have the same amount of personal data on you.

that and they haven't been pumping money into natural speech engines and shit for years

well, not the same level of money

That's not privicy issues. Apple isn't a tech company they are a tech marketing firm.

@Shurik 1) no
2) it was technically only one tech company but it would be easy to argue in court that it would apply to the others
it was specifically regarding the fact that the NSA paid one of them (facebook I think?) for the equipment that let them collect traffic

Apple has never been a pioneer in any feild. They have taken an old idea and perfected it.

they show no contempt for it consumers. so why are you do trust they treat your private data any better

Apple's business model is polishing turds

and they are extremely good at it

^

apple turd ^

the next iphone

if only they could bring steve jobs back to life

fuckin

Steve "I've got the most treatable form of cancer with the highest survival rate but I believe in homeopathic remedies and won't get real treatment" Jobs

<:super_edgy:426099058466095119>

he'd still be alive now if he didn't take the final cuck

@turtwig is that true?

absolutely

Wow

Yeah, he was a fruitarian

pancreatic cancer

Which probably led to his cancer as well hahaha

@franti
No what? I would like to know the court case you are talking about. My Google searches are coming up short.

@Shurik I dont have the case

steve "i hate my daughter and wishes she died" jobs was not a nice guy in any measurement
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/steve-jobs-brutal-last-words-13030081

I was being a bit glib with the survival rates

Pancreatic cancer usually kills

I thought he had bowel cancer

but he still refused real treatment

It was less lethal than normal but still

he had a good chance as he was in good health when it was discovered but refused the treatment was just idiotic

@Nordhand Good health? His diet *caused* his cancer

well his general health as he was not a 160kg lard ass that did sit all day in his couch

I never really liked steve jobs... this does little to help

he was a true asshole to everyone around him
