Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it?

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?...

In my opinion the problem is not who would agree/disagree with it, its more like the fanbase and marketing is on another level and most people would just not care as long as they have the latest iPhone with the latest buzzword functions and features.

I feel people are more forgiving towards apple. I dont have any study or anything to back it up, just can't see why the die-hard userbase of the most isolated and curated ecosystem would care about anything.

A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back (www.windowscentral.com)

It's a nightmare scenario for Microsoft. The headlining feature of its new Copilot+ PC initiative, which is supposed to drive millions of PC sales over the next couple of years, is under significant fire for being what many say is a major breach of privacy and security on Windows. That feature in question is Windows Recall, a...

Im in similar scenario. Which distro you decided on?

Sweet, thanks. I want to start something straightforward and so far Mint looks very promising.

Thanks. I only had so far Linux experience with my Steam Deck, I will look into these distros.

I still own a HP laser printer (older model from 5-10 years ago) which does not have the online connectivity requirement and the third party cartridges could last for ages.

As long as the printer dies I will forget HP and its bullshit exists and never touch their products again.

Cybertruck engineer pushes back on claims that Tesla EVs rust in the rain — “It's surface contamination only and can be cleaned off easily.” (www.businessinsider.com)

Cybertruck engineer pushes back on claims that Tesla EVs rust in the rain — “It's surface contamination only and can be cleaned off easily.”::A Cybertruck engineer, Wes Morrill, addressed claims Tesla's truck rusts in the rain and said the specks of rust were the size of a "pinhead."

And this is why you don't buy stainless steel sinks and cars, unless you want to polish them regularly they will look like shit even just from water stains.

Edit: Stop telling me your sink doesn't have rust on it. I'm not talking about rust. Most stainless steel will not rust. I'm talking about how stainless steel can become ugly from residual water marks, staines, water with high mineral content, etc
Unless you take care of it, clean it and polish it regularly. Maybe ideal for a kitchen surface but not for a big ass ugly car.

I hate Tik Tok and also hate copyright disputes but can't help but smile when these big corporations have arguments over money and people start taking sides, like Tik Tok or Universal cares about any of their customers.

Who said you can't have an opinion?
You can write a paper on the case for all I care just don't pretend corporations are our friends, or god forbid feel sorry for Tik Tok.

The top comment is about fanboyism, not about ridiculing people for having an opinion.

Or just let them discover random fucking propaganda on their own and bad examples on social media and become an Andrew Tate jr by the age of 17 or some extremist little fucker, or just be an indecent human being if you don't want such an extreme example.

This bill will do jack shit, but so are the parents who put smartphones in their kids hands as early as possible and let them browse the internet unsupervised.

Just to be clear I do not agree with the bill in this form and the whole "provide an ID" bullshit, but I really don't think young children should be allowed on social media.

@Macaroni_ninja@lemmy.world avatar

I know you are right and they are just using the "save our children" sentiment to manipulate people. On the other hand I just really-really hate social media and the younger generation should be better off without it.

Im sure they have some grand plan for the investors how many jobs they can replace with AI bullshit to increase those sweet-sweet numbers.

Is there any rivalry going on?

I read books from both and other than Kings super fame there is not much difference.
I don't prefer either.

For the past 10 years I never bought a phone for more than 300 euros.

I usually get a new phone every 3 years to have the latest tech and donate or recycle the old one.

For the last year I had an iPhone 13 pro (usually goes around 1100 euro) as a work phone and my personal Redmi Note 11 Pro I bought for 270 euros and not once I told myself: Man, this iphone is at least 3 times better than my Xiaomi. It's clearly a premium product but a middle category budget phone can match most features and even more. I still have a headphone jack, bigger 120 Hz screen, IR blaster and an amazing fingerprint sensor.
