If you actually read the posts, you'd know why since I'm highly organized.

I have a rather obvious and very strong goal on the Apple newsgroups.
a. Educate the posters on this newsgroup
b. Learn more about how Apple products work
c. Help others answer questions they may ask

If you read the posts you decry, you'd have already seen the explanation:

None of the above.

Apple does not need my "support". I am not outraged.

I am merely pointing out the logical flaws in Arlen's posts. If he started a topic of "Why does Windows 11 nag me multiple times a day to login" and then link to random Microsoft web pages that state NOTHING about logging in, my reply would be the same:

"I have multiple Windows 11 laptops/tablets. NONE of them EVER ask me to login other than the one time I login at boot up. And AGAIN, your links do not
backup your claim".

Does that mean I am "supporting" Microsoft?

You have to establish that something is actually happening BEFORE you can ask WHY it is happening. Arlen never does that. He just states his opinion as
fact, has nothing to back it up with and then wonders why no one agrees with the question of WHY it is happening.

My guess is Arlen's iOS devices constantly nag him to login because he
refuses do so. You have logged in to your Apple account so it doesn't
nag you unless you're downloading from the Apple Store or messing with
security settings. The same goes with Microsoft Windows 11.

Remember that Arlen's #1 priority with his devices is privacy so he will
bend over backwards to avoid logging in or enabling location services.
Those alone will require verification of identity numerous times.

Hi badgolferman,

Thanks for understand my motives.
You understand me well, perhaps because you're not blinded by ideology.

I don't use any operating system only the way the OEM wants me to.
I strive to make any ecosystem bend to my will, my needs, my goals.

One of those goals is privacy.

If I simply added the passwd (even though I never logged out), iOS would certainly stop nagging me for a while. Nags would pop up later of course.

Because that's how iOS works.

Note that iOS does not work like any other operating system (not even
macOS), but that's a detail that isn't obvious until we understand how iOS truly works with respect to myriad intertwined tokens which expire and
renew on a poorly documented (but easily tested) timed sequence.

You have logged in to your Apple account so it doesn't
nag you unless you're downloading from the Apple Store or messing with security settings.

Yup. And it's even more complicated than that. It turns out that some of
the tokens appear to be incestuous, by which I mean signing into some Apple services renews the tokens silently for other Apple services, but not all.

That's why every user's experience will be different, but every user will eventually have their devices 'bricked' (Activation Lock) by Apple if they always refuse to sign into Apple services as some tokens will eventually
expire that cannot be renewed without entering your passwd.

The same goes with Microsoft Windows 11.

With all due respect, everybody "thinks" that, but Windows 11 does not
require any MSA account if you follow the well-publicized known tricks.

Ask me how I know this fact that most people don't seem to understand...

You're close... but it's only my secondary goal...

What's interesting is that when I first entered the Apple mobile device
world, it was with Costco iPods on sale, where I was astounded how
difficult Apple made something as simple as sliding MP3 files back & forth.

Then I bought an iPhone for my teen-age child where I was dismayed that
AT&T was the only carrier so I had to jailbreak it to work with T-Mobile.

Finally, I started buying iPads and iPhones as stocking stuffers, where
when I set them up, I was dumbfounded by the unnecessary use restrictions.

In all these cases, I am merely trying to get the Apple device to work the
way all other similar devices work & not only the way Apple wants it to be.

That's my #1 priority.
Getting any Apple device to do what I want it to do.


To make an Apple device do what it should do is a lesson in humility, perseverance & intellectual understanding that cannot be underestimated.

My #2 priority is privacy. :)

But that's basically impossible on any mobile device, least of all Apple's.

Hi Tom Elam,

I'm also retired and I have been retired for 15 year.

I try to understand not only the Apple ecosystem, but also the Apple users.

Both are not normal so it is NOT intuitive.

Without going deeply, the entire Apple ecosystem is brilliant propaganda by
one of the slickest marketing organizations in the world. It's never what
Apple says it is. That's what is so interesting about Apple products.

Everything that people think they know about the Apple ecosystem is fed to
them by Apple (e.g., "it just works") when it's almost always a brazen lie.

Given how slick the Apple propaganda is, the "typical Apple user" is also interesting because they fall for every marketing trick in the book.

The Apple owner tends to be a cultist whose very ego is tied to the
product, which is why the Apple user on this ng is so interesting to me.

Most Apple posters on this newsgroup hate me because I don't fall for the tricks so I don't belong to the cult, but I find them very interesting as a result.

You did not answer my question. Look at how few people actually use
CSMA. Maybe a few dozen at most. If you feel this way why do you hide in
this neglected corner of the social platform universe? Do you not
actually believe in your own messaging? Are you afraid of being exposed
as the fraud you are if you go to a wider audience? Do you lack any
other interests? Are you mentally ill?

Your projection of others who respond on CSMA is interesting. They cite verifiable sources that effectively counter your posts. You seem to
never respond directly to them. Instead you copy/paste your past post contents.

There is no Apple cult. Your posts are frequently wildly wrong. You are
a cult of 1.

At least in my case there is no ego tied to Apple. All of our 3 laptops
(HP and Dell) run Windows 11. We use Google Home. Our 6 Apple devices
(phones, tablets and watches) are loaded with Google, third party and Microsoft apps. Our music comes from YouTube Music, books from Kindle,
news from Google and NBC. We use Google Maps, not Apple. We do not have
a single Apple TV in the house. All are various brands on Roku. I use
the software that works for me. Same for the hardware. All based on
informed learning from where I started out on a Tandy TRS Model 3 in
late 1980.

I did have an Apple iMac briefly. It was a disaster compared to Windows
2000. That was a joke of a computer and OS 9 was years behind Windows.
Having said that, modern Mac OS is a very tempting Windows alternative.

the future book would be modeled after "unsafe at any speed", which both
doomed the Corvair but it turned it into a cult object at the same time.

I don't benefit from pushing Apple toward bankruptcy, and I don't care
about benefiting Android since I'm not an Android zealot, but I would like
to benefit the hundreds of millions of people who believe Apple's lies.

It's for them that I'd write the book covering the truth about Apple.

My "book" (unwritten) will discuss the typical Apple proponent on Usenet, which, of course, is whom I've been studying for oh, about fifteen years.

To that end, I find you interesting in that you feel Alan Baker and Snit
and Joerg Lorenz speak for the true Apple product, which fits my assessment
of you since you seem to have a religious belief system that feels any
truth outside your religious belief system can't possibly be true.

While you seem to want me to respond to their insults instead of brining
the technical content back away from their taunts, I won't do that anymore.

Apparently when they deflect all criticism of Apple to, oh, say, Apple
profits instead, you want me to discuss Apple profits instead of what I was technically discussing - but I'm not going to do that, Tom. I'm just not.

But I do thank you for describing to me how your religion works, as every

All of Arlen's posts here - about imaginary "problems" with iPhones - are also delusional. That he continues to double down on his absurd claims - in the

Hi Tom Elam,

Thank you for your philosophical words of advice. It seems to me that explaining how Apple's marketing distorts reality for so many people may
or may not ever attract public attention the way "Unsafe at Any Speed"
did in the 1960s.

My point of view is that understanding how Apple products works is
important because most people seem to have no clue that Apple's stated
reasons for why they do things, is never what the real reasons appear to be once we apply a healthy dose of logic to sthe actual results.

For a simple yet super obvious example, Apple marketing claims to lock us
into a vise "for our protection" and yet, there is no added protection.

Think about that fact. There isn't a security professional on this planet
who agrees with Apple marketing propaganda, and yet most people do.

That's a pretty healthy criticism of Apple's propaganda, is it not?

Remember, criticism does not have to be novel to be worthwhile as Apple is
no more evil than Big Tobacco is. They're just more brilliant. That's all.

I, for one, appreciate Apple's brilliance in marketing where they can
transform even minor incremental updates into huge cultural events.

Apple's brilliant marketing polishes the mundane until it feels
indispensable to people who are susceptible to not questioning why.

I simply need to document the truth about Apple products. That's all.
History is built on people documenting the same patterns of incessant propaganda, until they are impossible to ignore by the intelligentsia.

If you are comfortable with Apple's practices, that is your prerogative.
I am simply different than most people in that it irks me when someone
kicks dogs and then tells you to your face the dog deserved to be kicked.

That's how Apple treats its customers.
I simply want to document the evil that is inherent in Apple's propaganda.

It's not to save me, as I never was confused about why Apple brazenly lies. It's to help others realize the truth about Apple products that drives me.

You can call that Don Quixote if you like, but every critique looks like windmill-tilting to someone who is already satisfied with propaganda.
