Apple Shares New 'Simple as That' Ad in 'Privacy on iPhone' Series

[I7guy]

Misplaced analogy?

It's about all companies trying to do business all over the world, with people having varied opinions about the way it's done.

I do understand why people defend Apple on this, they have learned to love Apple after many years of selling good products but hopefully people will not turn a blind eye...

There is a difference between turning a blind eye and understanding that sometimes local laws and regulations have to be adhered to.

Well, I guess love is really blind

As is hate.

Even though it was expected but still I had a good laugh...

When I said Android, It does not mean automatically Google Services. There is Android Open Source Program in which you can install stock Android OS without Google Services or OEM bloated apps. One good example is LineageOS, it uses AOSP and the stock version does not include any Google services, no Play Store, no GMail, nothing Google related at all. What I do to install app is I let my Bluestack Android emulator download apps from Play Store and sideload it to my phone.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait....
Ummmmm- sooooo, when you said (sneeringly) “I trust Android much more than iOS”; I was supposed to somehow, what? Just inuit that you didn’t REALLY mean Android per se, nor were you talking about any off the shelf or commercially viable product whatsoever... I should have guessed you were referring to some obscure “roll your own” AOSP offshoot?
Lol... how on earth could I possibly have known that???

In a pig’s eye are Apple’s security protocols/methods lax, compared to Android. Further, you’re on your own, if you’re trying to argue that obfuscation of at least a few steps in the security processes, in some way weakens security overall.
When I was still in the web server space, I remember it being fairly standard to have “honeypot” servers... perhaps appearing as an unpatched Apache server, when it was actually running Windows, etc.
The less information known to an attacker, the better!

You’re wrong. Not even pedantic, just wrong.

I'm not my friend - you don't have the first idea about linguistics, so please refrain from calling other people wrong here on basic language knowledge. They didn't share sh**. They published an ad.

Give it up my friend. First rule of holes: stop digging.

You may not like when people write that Apple “shared an ad” but that usage is 100% correct. For some reason you’re unwilling to admit you’re wrong, but doubling, tripling or quadrupling down isn’t going to make you right.

And there’s really no need to insult me or use profanity. I don’t know why you’re upset with me; why shoot the messenger? I’m just one person. Even if you could convince me to stop using “share” to refer to posting on social media, what good will it do?

Why not take your campaign to Webster, Cambridge, Oxford and all the rest of the dictionaries who are apparently so deficient in their knowledge of linguistics.

Merriam Webster

"You keep using that word. I don't think you know what it means."

Hahaha... my post was remove by mods because it was considered an insult when I said that I think I believe I am more informed and educated

Pretty sure a unpatched Apache is more secure than a Windows server.

(Kidding, of course. I use Windows (desktop) and Linux (desktop and server) all the time.)

Hey... what happened to my other comment?
Really?
It was removed without even a notification.
I was even apologetic on that comment.
I think I really did push someones button
And the mods even edited his/her comment, I guess to remove something that can be considered an insult
