You do understand the reasons right? iCloud, iMessages etc are an interplay of software in your device, software in cloud and some networking. They have to work together. A jailbroken phone can have a tinkered iMessage app. Supporting tinkered / unsupported versions is more overhead / possible security risk. Why would you expect them to take on that?

Gmail is 1 part of the puzzle. A big part but still one part. But when you give something access to your email, calendar, iMessage, browser, passkeys of other apps, location it can autocomplete the missing parts and can pretty much complete the jigsaw.

People are giving Meta access to their emails, messages and calendars and other apps? Are they out of their mind or what am I missing?

Because chatGPT can get away with listening to you all the time, but if Siri does that without it being explicitly prompted it will be a class action

Someone who won't have that $433 has no business even thinking about a 1200$ phone in the first place

Naive question may be. But if quantum can break bitcoin, won't it also be able to break other encryptions that literally everyone else uses as well? So, it's not that bitcoin is particularly vulnerable right any more than banks and Gmails?

Research anything and everything on your own dime. if it's taxpayer's money, then yes, it has to have at least a probability of profitability.

I am okay if some edge case needs tinkering. As long as every day common use cases just works. There is no distro that even meets that?

Need a suggestion, and thought might as well ask here. I use a Mac now. Last windows was more than 15 years ago and now I want to try Linux. which version would you recommend? should I go with Ubuntu or Debian or Mint or something else? I am not a tinkerer. I want something that just works, on the lines of a Mac.

//Apple TV is available on the Apple TV app

What's confusing about this?

Netflix is available on Netflix App. HBO is available on HBO app. Normal people don't care.

It's perfectly normal for Netflix the company to run Netflix the service on Netflix the app on Netflix device if they release one. It's not confusing at all. What would be confusing is if they all had different names.

> Do you have any evidence behind it?

What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

I once thought I wouldn't need a mobile phone and that landlines were sufficient.
