Apple is worse; MacOS is slowly becoming the locked-down hellscape of iOS. If Apple had its way with MacOS, not only would you not be able to uninstall their browser, but you also wouldn’t be allowed to install any alternative browsers.
I beg to differ. I get prompted on iOS to upgrade my iCloud storage regularly, thanks in part to the completely nonsensical way that you manage storing messages in iOS. There is no way to disable this behavior.
And on macOS, every time I press “play” on my wireless headphones when no media is playing, Apple Music opens and prompts me to subscribe.
If you want to be efficient in Amsterdam, you take the bike or public transport. That has been faster than cars even before this change, and now more so.
If I had to commute by car every day in traffic… that would absolutely suck. Hopping on the train always feels better though. I get to see random people, relax, listen to music, not worry about crashing…
I bet if you have a female name, more drivers will actually try and bring it to the door (which may be up a flight of stairs) rather than calling you to come down and get it. There are always trade-offs.
3 weeks ago my iPad got dropped in water for half a second, then stopped turning on the next day. I booked it in for ‘repair’ at apple, only to be told “sorry, you don’t have applecare, so a replacement will be ~$1300aud. We don’t actually repair any ipad, and offer no genuine parts for any iPad repair”. This was not an old ipad, mind you, but a 2021 M1!
Here’s what I think of Apples right to repair support: bullshit
What else can you do but look at files and code to figure out problems? And why use a monospace font for prose? I agree otherwise though, it can bite you in the arse if you don’t understand the layers of abstraction you’re dealing with. It’s the reason I sort of don’t like browser-based stuff. We already have a full OS stack for doing stuff, why add another on top of it?
