Does the fact that anti-virus apps are a THING (that is 100% necessary) for Windows reflect badly on Microsoft?

No, it doesn't. Microsoft aren't responsible for the viruses. Your point?

So, your bank / financial institution isn't responsible when your information (like social security numbers) gets hacked? Amazon/Google/Facebook aren't responsible when user information gets hacked?

I see. You are trying to claim that Apple is not responsible for the defective Butterfly keyboard. I don't think Apple themselves denies it. So why should you?

I feel like the app actually may be a bettert way to quickly go through your SM apps and accounts if you use them frequently (don't know why the ppl behind it can explain that), but putting all your social media login credentials into Slack is hard to roll with.

How do you purge cookies and history used with Stack ?

Coincidentally is the same time I've been using Adobe Photoshop!

No. Not at all. Why would you think that?

I just compared Apple's issues with Microsoft, Facebook and Googles. Apple IS responsible the same way those other companies are.

I'm happy to hear your agree.

If we follow that line of reasoning, Apple's default method of syncing for the iPhone would be rather pointless. As noted above, AirBuddy does for the Mac what Apple does with iOS. Nothing magical or life changing. it is an attempt to be subtle and provide seamless integration to the Mac. I think AirBuddy achieves the intended goal.

What Apple does with iOS is a simple pairing process that you’re supposed to do one time. After that, it’s paired, and you just put the AirPods in your ears. By the time you want to use your AirPods with your Mac, they are already paired, so why would someone want to do that process again? It’s not the same at all. It takes a thing and twists it into a different thing.

They're very different apps.

TripMode is just a very simple on/off switch for each apps internet access, designed to reduce data usage when travelling.

Love TripMode for tethering my MacBook to my iPhone when traveling without wifi and don't want to use up all my phone plan minutes.
