And now you're lying about what I said, as if I can't remember.

"They did have a small amount of malware, however, but no viruses."

This is how you convince yourself you've won? By lying to yourself about what my arguments were?

That is no victory. That's your ego seeking catharsis.

Inbox replies disabled. There's no point talking to someone who will lie to my face about my own words.

>There is something ironic about a Sci-Fi magazine rejecting a new technology.

One of the themes that pops up in sci-fi a lot is being cautious about technological advancement. For example, Terminator is about AI annihilating almost all of humanity, so the message there is "We should be careful with how far we take AI."

I bet that the writers who've worked on the Terminator franchise would agree that we should be careful with AI, especially now that its usage is becoming more mainstream. (Not to mention how programs like ChatGPT are already complicating their entire profession.)

Doesn't matter if I sell 3 batteries for a total of 300$ when I can just force you to purchase an entire new device for 1,500$ in total every two years, along with additional services, contracts and stuff.

Mine does the same thing. It’s annoying. Yeah it’s on my dog.

It’s also not “approved” for dog use. So I recognize that I’m asking it to do something that they didn’t test/account for.

Seems like it’s something that can easily be remedied with a software update. But until then, it’s gonna be annoying.

I think this will lift identity theft onto a next level. When your phone is hacked. Hacker not only have your contacts, your conversations, access to your email inbox, your SMS inbox, your scanned documents, your password manager, your online banking, your payment information, your private photos but also your voice to say whatever they want.

Proving it would take more effort than it's worth, for someone who is going to clap back with semantics and not understand what I'm saying

The thing that broke me was thinking that there are versions of Mac OS without exploits or malicious software, after you saying that is very clear you're not prepared to listen, so I'm gonna take the downvotes from other pedants that don't want to look things up on here so I can enjoy my day off and not waste time researching on you

I'm not going to write you an essay or provide you sources because I get the feeling you're not going to accept them and I have better things to do

Google it or not, you have enough info to easily find all of it, I don't care if you believe me about the reality of these things

That would only provide half the story. I requested a source that they were boasting it's faster while disabling features.

>It's possible to make an indie film or YouTube videos, their marketing suggested you could make the NEXT CINEMA BLOCKBUSTER

Those goal posts have shunted somewhat. A minute ago, it was just "feature film". Can you link an example of that marketing so we can see which version you've presented is the correct one?

>Pal, you and I both know that paragraph is both a lie and full of cope

Okay. Can you provide an example of a virus in the wild for Mac OS X from it's introduction until when, say, Steve died? That's about the period they were boasting about their lack of viruses.

>They did, what are you talking about?

You claimed people didn't bother writing viruses for the Mac because it wasn't popular enough to bother, but there were more viruses for Mac OS 9 than Mac OS X, even though it had less market share. Can you explain that discrepancy?

>I'll admit I might be wrong on this one, I'm pretty sure I've heard the company discuss the idea before though

Sure. Source?

The FDA is the one providing misinformation. They said they looked at VAERS. That was a lie. They said COVID was of natural origin and shutdown any speech to the contrary. It looks like the lab leak is the best answer. They said that the mRNA shots were sterilizing. That was a lie. They said that the mRNA shots were better than natural immunity. That was a lie. They agree with the CDC to use ICD-10 codes to tag people as non-compliant.

They are literally part of the problem.

It's misleading, the case study they wrote on it also discussed the entire process like it was cutting edge, when it was really simple stuff

> Viruses/malware

Pal, you and I both know that paragraph is both a lie and full of cope

We can also go over the multiple kernel security exploits Apple constantly creates, despite claiming their software is """more secure"""

> OS 10

They did, what are you talking about?

> Car

I'll admit I might be wrong on this one, I'm pretty sure I've heard the company discuss the idea before though
