I had an even more time consuming experience like this. I worked with Apple Support over the phone for a few months. They had me install a profile on the iPhone to collect more diagnostic logs, had me perform various steps to reproduce the

I’d like to know what rules you use to prevent Tahoe updates while allowing Sequoia updates. It would be quite useful to me, and I guess, to others here who use Little Snitch.

But 8 GB on a Mac is way different (in a positive way) from 16 GB on a different OS. On Windows 11, I can’t even imagine anything lower than 32 GB being a decent experience.

I actually love Apple for pushing this matter this hard and sticking to its guns. This will bring in more regulatory scrutiny not just in the U.S. but in other countries as well. That will force Apple to give up (maybe in a decade or so) th

There was a rebuttal to a recent news or rumor that emails in Gmail are being used for training. Google claimed that it’s not doing that. But these things can change any moment with enough marketing and subterfuge.
