  • Read again - for most other devices there are cheap and often some free administration tools that small businesses can use. And for many devices they can just reinstall them. But for Apple devices pretty much everything is expensive or very limited.

  • Ok so I scrolled back line 2 weeks of the dudes history, and apparently he posts dozens of times per day and I can't be bothered to scroll further. Some dozen articles on polls blaming the admin for stuff they aren't responsible for, ignoring things they did do, and some article insinuating dementia, and a bunch of doomerism. There's probably better examples further back than 2 weeks, but I can't be bothered. Other people in this thread has given examples of stuff they've seen from him so maybe check for yourself

  • Curious that you didn't disprove anything I said, just a strawman you made up.

    Where have I ever said I like the democratic party or that I think the majority of them are good?

    I've said they're less bad, because they are less bad, and you keep denying the obvious.

    I didn't call you a stalker, but it's curious you picked only one person to @ and picked me. Last guy got so unhinged he spammed my DMs for a few weeks. Your attitude is remarkably similar to his.

  • It was a small company, as he said elsewhere, negating your first 4 options, and the last two of blaming the user are equally stupid because Apple can fix this and doesn't want to. Not everybody has an MDM tool which can set up ownership right for Apple devices - and they should not have to

    It's shameful that you have a bunch of upvotes and he's getting downvotes

  • IT was the owner and obviously consented to their own actions.

    You didn't read the post.

    You pretty much MUST use paid mobile device management tools to set up and administer company owned Apple hardware, and those tools are notoriously annoying and often just bad

  • Android uses similar storage encryption (and you can activate encryption for an SD card if you have sensitive data on it), the encryption key is protected by a TPM or Secure Element chip or by ARM TrustZone or equivalent, it checks that the OS is unmodified before booting and the chip only gives the key to the CPU if the user enters the correct PIN

  • If you aren't using the iOS lockdown mode, it's not really that much more private. Most stuff is still not encrypted in iCloud without that on, and apps can still track much of what you do, and Apple has their own ad networks.

    Edit: has any of the downvoters actually read Apple's (public!) security architecture documents?

  • Not acknowledging that loudness and volume shapes who gets heard is not how you reduce bias. You're only replacing one bias with another. If you let bad faith actors run free they will silence all others with volume alone, making it impossible to find and hear legitimate non-artificial opinions.
