Then you don't have control or visibility over Apple or third-party apps sending analytics likely without your approval. LuLu has a fatal flaw: it drops or closes TCP connections randomly resulting in dropped SSH sessions. No amount of

Yes, and never forget Tesla refuses to sell repair parts when people have cash in hand, partially arbitrarily and otherwise deliberately. Also, their CEO performs Sieg Heil, and don't let anyone tell you it's a "Roman salute&

Siri, the app Apple acquired from a promising Palo Alto startup once upon a time, for close-ended, fixed phrase commands hasn't changed that much for accomplishing Apple-specific tasks. However, yes, going out to the interwebs or answe

I'm glad the reporters did the due-diligence to uncover that they had a prior beef with him. My reading is it appears "evidence" was made-up to get him kicked out a second time. Now the matter is in state court, so it seems l

A slow start. Apple uses N3* but TSMC won't be able to deploy that until 4 years from now when it's obsolete. It's possible they could make Samsung/Qualcomm SoCs on N4P, maybe. This venture has an appearance of malicious
