I'm referring to Microsoft's AI Recall, but Apple should apply it to its MacOS or all its devices.

Why doesn't Apple become a PBC?

Have you seen a Windows zealot?

Yeah me neither

Advertise more and sell harder. Who cares what kind of trash the customers end up buying, bevcause only profits matter.

Apple professional management have run the company down with their many foolish decisions. Feels similar to how Microsoft became worse annd worse after XP.

They exist. Go on a Steam discussions page for a popular game that doesn't currently support Linux, and create a new post politely asking about the possibility of Linux support.

*A wild WINDOWS ZEALOT appears*

There‘s also the FSEvents database on the root of every disk which is a database of all the file events/operations that happened on that disk.

Supposedly you can disable it, but I haven’t got it to work. For example if you download a sensitive file, do something with it, and delete it. You can see this in the FSEvents database.

This is already a recall type feature at the file system level.

After W2K I didn't like XP all that much, it felt slower and was too "Chinese-looking" (how it could be said in my language in those years). Now I'm nostalgic over chromecore aesthetic and that look, silver Game Boy, silver PS2, silver SW Phantom Menace interiors. Or matte black as an alternative, too looking very cool. Or at least that "normal" matte white. But in UIs - XP felt a bit too much, tiring for my eyes. Still, XP with default blue theme and jump-to-lightspeed wallpaper is what home and nostalgie are for me.

NTFS has that exact feature too, a log of file operations on the disk. They've had it long before Recall was a thing.

For this to be a good thing the shareholders would need to agree to a technical CEO rather than a marketing one and that comes with the wee lil' issue of raining on their AI parade. If Tim Cook goes his replacement will be even worse.

So, your MO is fooling customers since Jobs. You learn that fooling customers doesn't ever get punished. Then your shareholders become fooled well enough over time. Then your management is so involved in fooling customers and shareholders that they don't know anything else. Then there's bound to happen a moment.

It can be a very good thing if they try to actually become a normal company and not hype-serf.

An apple has more intelligence.

As a FreeBSD zealot, I really don't see anything far from norm with Linux zealots. They are a bit conflict-seeking and ignorant, but that's ok.

Normal. I used Opera. QuickTime player for Windows was nice. Used it under W2K for most of media things in the interwebs.

I'm pretty sure you can trace the management downturn of American companies back to a change in MBA curriculum.

You can see when they started getting hired after the shift. Where they were taught that as long as your department is doing well and has positive numbers, LITERALLY nothing else matters. The company could be crashing and burning around you, you might even be causing it, but as long as those numbers are going up, you'll quickly get hired at another company. Because every single iota of their education is about pleasing investors who only care about money now, and not potential money in a few years.

It would make no difference at all.

Never heard that phrase before. What language might that be if you don't mind me asking?

A Pretty Big Company? I think they are beyond that classification.

Well, in Russia in early 00s (my childhood) they'd say that about things looking like Chinese toys of cheap plastic. As in "Chinese means cheap, but low-quality and probably a toy". Such things were indeed mostly produced in China, so. It's rather that back then you'd sometimes have better things, now everything is like this.
