You'll only get the most critical security updates, and only up to a point.

You can block Apple Intelligence and Siri using Screen Time. Configuration profiles and the typical user-facing settings are not likely to go anywhere either.

If you have a Mac, you can supervise devices locally. macOS itself doesn't really have restrictions on payloads (except for Declarations, which mostly are sent by an MDM server). Both Apple Intelligence and Siri can be blocked by Screen Time anyway; it's basically a user-facing interface to apply the same restrictions.

"Disconnected from reality" ... tell that to the people who have had a lost or stolen device without encryotion. You'd need a backup and then some!

Apple manages a recovery path for users without storing the key in plain text. Must have something to do with those "security aficionados."

Haven't tested this, but try:

System Settings > General > Language & Region > Live Text

"Select text in images to copy or take action."

It is correct, if somewhat uncommon in daily use. I published an article awhile ago and the editor revised it similarly.

Not entirely. You can selectively remove protections:

csrutil enable --without dtrace

The typical client of a criminal defense attorney is not a minor suspected of petty crime, and their case is unlikely to be informed by the experiences of such a minor.

Disordered sleep can cause executive dysfunction similar to ADHD, but it does not cause ADHD. It certainly can exacerbate it or be diagnosed incorrectly.

There are dubious results for "uBlock" as well on browser extension stores. If it's not breaking rules (copyright violation, malware) it's precarious for companies to take action. It's obvious to me that uBlock Origin is the "correct" result, but how would a company determine that at scale?

The app was removed a day after your article was posted. The app name, developer, icon, and images are all different. It's absolutely a problem, but it was addressed.

If Apple aggressively took action against this with a high error rate, the headlines would probably be about anti-competition, censorship, and upset developers.

I don't think this behavior is expected. When I've tested it, I was able to get DNS to behave in the expected manner. Apple does make design decisions that can be frustrating, but in most cases I find 1) there's a way to work around it or 2) the decision was the lesser of two evils.

Absolutely love GOS as well. What are you using for your DNS server?
