Hahaha! Usually it’s a thumbs down. I don’t find myself very amusing, just annoying and too needy.
What is going on with Apple right now? Bugs galore, services not working properly and features like stage manager not working properly and less intuitive.
Anyone else starting to get a bit fed up?

CloudFlare had CDN issues this morning as well.
Weird internet issues all morning for me.
Glad the iMessage issue wasn’t just my cursed computer.

Every means of internet communication requires third parties in between. Even if it’s directly from my server to your server, it would go through both our internet providers. SMS texts and normal phone calls may not use the internet, but they go through you cellular provider, who has access to the data if they choose. Before cellular, phone calls could still be listened in on by operators along the path of the call. Telegraphs would be read by operators along the way as well. The only means direct P2P communication is two way radios, which typically only have a few miles of range. And even then they can be listened into by anyone with a receiver on the same frequency.
Encryption is not about having no one in between, it’s about putting the data in code so no one in between can read it. Similarly to how one could send telegrams in code, so that no one in between would know how to read them, encryption scrambles the data sent so that no one (internet provider, cellular provider, Wi-Fi administrator, messaging servers) can read the data. It is then decoded on the recipient’s device.
I think everything from them right now is less than ideal. My phone, watch and iPad are working great. And I must’ve missed the window where messages were down. But I’m in the forums a lot and can’t deny what I read from others. It sucks.
Then I think back to a time where I actually used a rotary phone and feel pretty grateful that we are where we are now. Bugs or not.
👊😝👍
Right?! I had a clear blue Motorola with a gold chain and though I was cooler than an icecap.
If they begin charging for that, iMessage will be replaced by WhatsApp.
All jokes aside, I checked the System Status page on Apple's site earlier and everything was green. I then signed out of icloud and back in on my laptop, iPad, and iPhone and signed back in and everything was working. It must have been coincidental timing. But I lost all move goals on my watch.
I am actually having trouble with iCloud Mail today with macOS and iOS - anyone else? I am getting odd errors while deleting mail from MacBook Pro: 'could not be moved to mailbox 'iCloud', server busy'. And the deleted emails pop back into the inbox. While trying to delete or move emails in iOS, it just sort of gets stuck at 'checking for Mail...' I wonder if this is related.
Going through Apple servers IS what makes it secure. Just like when BlackBerry messages went through BlackBerry servers.
Off topic, but I always find it interesting that the app icon is green and not blue.
The difference between then and now is we have other choices that serve the same function. If Google can get there hardware to catch up to what they are doing with software....
I avoid Google at all cost. There is nothing that company does that I trust. I don’t use their search engine, apps, or phones. I have an old email withering away to nothing collecting useless spam.
So unless I want to pay almost twice as much than a iPhone 14 Pro for a USA version of Librem or run a deGoogled OS like Lineage, I am stuck. And deGoogled still means Android. That’s a no for me.
And like I stated in the post you responded to, all my stuff works great for me, so I have no reason to leave. 👊😋👍
It’s so damn true…
How one programmer broke the internet by deleting a tiny piece of code
A man in Oakland, California, disrupted web development around the world last week by deleting 11 lines of code.
