Doesnt always work like that.

Juat as a reality check:
What you and me consider fun isnt fun for most outside of the lemmy techie bubble.

Even better

This is a JRPG an A-JRPG

Doesnt work during an RMA.
After that: Yeah, sure.

And how much does Apple like that?

Is this a take in regards to soldering in new flash chips or replacing a board and then needing to wrestle Apple support during an RMA to replace a faulty component (because I quiet confidently believe, Apple will cross check your hardware with their records from the serial number).

And I don’t believe regular PC manufacturers/OEMs are that hard to argue with if I insert my own SSD.

Turn it off temporarily?

Isnt that what QuickShare and Airdrop solves?

As every user at some points mentions: They are a public company and once they can’t satisfy their shareholders, they will turn on the data faucet to 3rd parties. They already have the an advertisement CDN.
They already have everything in place to achieve that situation.

Same for you. Proof that Apple isn’t using it to analyze your (usage) data.
And it’s not okay just because it’s the 1st party analyzing it because they arent selling it.

I am really tired of the hypocrisy of some lemmy users advocating for maximum privacy to the detriment of everyone around them but on the other hand just saying “yeah, that’s totally fine” and basically breaking all their principles.

No proof.
But even the US is scared of encrypted exfiltrated data because their adversaries could crack the encryption later on.

Same here.
They have the data and for now decided to not yet do do anything too bad with it.
But Google also had the motto “Don’t be evil” at one point.

Lol and Apple doesnt do any of that?

Keep them there.
