Apple Stole My Music. No, Seriously.[^]
“The software is functioning as intended,” said Amber.
“Wait,” I asked, “so it’s supposed to delete my personal files from my internal hard drive without asking my permission?”
“Yes,” she replied.

As long as they're shiny and trendy most people will still be ok with that, and pouring money in Apple products and support.
That's perfectly fine for me, it's one more opportunity for jobs (not the deceased one, the extinguishing ones).

One of the main reasons why I hate Apple and why I'll never buy, use or recommend an Apple product. Even at it's worst, Microsoft was never this brazen or diabolical. I find this practice of Apple's criminal.Quote: Apple will be in control, bringing their 1984 commercial full circle into a tragic, oppressive irony.
We're already there.

Indeed - me too. I've never understood how come Microsoft got hauled over the coals for embedding IE in Windows - and were forced to remove it - yet Apple get away with this kind of sh*t with barely a word said against them.

It's all to do with market share. Practices, such as bundling, are deemed fine when you're either one of many participants in the market or a smaller participant among a few. They're deemed "anti-competitive" once you get to a "monopolistic" share, say 80+%.
In streaming services, Apple is a minor player right now. In mobile they're minor (in share) compared to Google, even though they're not minor in share of industry profits. They have about 90% of the profits or something. Hence why they have circa $200 billion in cash!

A counterpoint that manages to totally ignore some points already raised in the initial article, and that includes a number of comments where other users have experienced the same issue.
It's called victim blaming, and is something that I would expect from an Apple fangirl.

I know you are all way to smart to look at the sun with a telescope - but just in case, here's a nice reminder[^].

Some of us are smart enough to know how to look at the sun through a telescope[^] without cooking our eyeballs.
Sadly my Monday forecast is mostly clouds. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It's hard to stay sane when tech people look at me as if I'm a ugly green monster (I am not green!) because I disable Windows Update in every imaginable way... knowing that I'm saner than most of them (most of the time).

There was also a small bug that when automatic updates and windows indexing service were both enabled then the system would use lots of resources.
Oh I forgot that was a feature not a bug.
I disable both.
