smallest wired keyboard?

Apple will permanently _disable_ your iPhone if you refuse to log into their iCloud periodically nospam. You _know_ this is true.

Want proof? I _tested_ two iPads, both of which Apple _requires_ a login years later!

If you don't eventually log into their iCloud - Apple _disables_ the device! Don't believe me?

Look here:

  1. Apple "ID Verification" prompts come up ten, twenty or more times a day.

    2. Apple "Sign-in to iCloud" prompts come up a dozen or more times a day.
    formatting link
    3. Apple won't let you sign in even with the _correct_ login & password.
    formatting link
    4. The Apple web site is so poorly designed it doesn't even tell you why.
    formatting link
    5. Eventually, as it did with one of my iPads already, Apple destroys it.
    formatting link
    formatting link
    6. On my 2nd iPad, the Apple apps stop working (but everything else works!)
    formatting link
    7. Every single day, many times a day, you're confronted with tracking crap such as this "Some account services require you to sign in again"
    formatting link
    8. Interestingly, you can update your iOS (which I almost never do) as shown here where I updated this week from iOS 13 to iOS 15 (and it let me).
    formatting link
    9. And you can wipe out your Siri recordings (due to the recent zero-day).
    formatting link
    10. Yet Apple tracking servers still require "Apple ID Verification"
    formatting link
    11. And, you can install an app, but if you delete it, you can't re-install.

    12. In the end, if you attempt that forced validation on VPN, Apple unilaterally destroys your investment by locking you out of it forever!

    13. All because Apple tracking servers _require_ periodic ID verification.

Nah, they design them solely to piss you off.

Years ago, in Texas, I worked on the Power PC project. Remember that?

Prior to that, I worked with the 68701 (which had the RAM on chip).

One nice thing for hex coding was that the memory order made sense (compared to that of the Intel MPUs).

Did you know that no Apple based browser supports TOR anonymity?

No? Want proof?

Look at what the Tor Project says about privacy with iOS devices. *Can I run Tor Browser on an iOS device?*

formatting link
"Apple requires browsers on iOS to use something called Webkit, which prevents Onion Browser from having the same privacy protections as Tor Browser."

And yet, Apple advertises privacy all day, every day.

that is categorically false, nor is that even possible.

there isn't any such proof.

as usual, you are too stupid to understand what you're doing and blaming everything other than yourself.

you used a disposable email account, forgot the password, and locked yourself out, with *no* possible way to recover it.

had you used a valid email, you could have reset the password.

in other words, the situation is entirely of your own making.

...is because very few people actually used an analog headphone jack to justify keeping it in a highly-space constrained device, such as a phone, where that space could be better served for features that benefit more people. also because it's redundant, because a more functional option has existed alongside it.

Then you know nothing about iOS because I tested it and you haven't.

How long have _you_ gone refusing Apple's incessant requests to log into the iCloud nospam?

formatting link
Apple _forces_ a log in!

Then what's this?

formatting link
Apple _disables_ your acct!

It's interesting how _little_ you know about iOS nospam, but then it's not surprising since you have _never_ tried to NOT log into the iCloud on iOS.

formatting link
Apple _locks_ you out!

Nope. Wrong. You don't understand iOS because you've never tested NOT logging in.

The Apple message clearly says you must periodically log in. Look for once!

formatting link
Apple _forces_ extra logins!

Notice that Apple _requires_ you to log into the iCloud periodically.

Apple fails App Store test

After two years of NOT logging into iOS, Apple simply disables your device.

You are an idiot if you just realized that I was _testing_ what Apple would do if I ignored their incessant hundred-times-a-day request to periodically log into the iCloud account.

None of this would have happened if I didn't _test_ what would happen nospam.

That you are just realizing this is another way I know your IQ is low. You have _no idea_ how iOS works nospam - because you've never tested it.

I have.

formatting link
Apple _locks_ you out!

I don't give a s*it that Apple locked me out (I have plenty of iPads). I just wanted to test what Apple would do.

The result is that if you ignore Apple's requests to log into the iCloud, then Apple will eventually unilaterally _DESTROY_ your investment.

The proof is in what Apple did.

Apple _disables_ your DEVICE!

If so few people wanted a 3.5mm jack in their phone, why is it that the vast majority of phones made even today still have that industry standard jack?

that's a new one.

what did you supposedly do on 'the power pc project' ?

did photos of textbooks about vacuum tubes help with the design of a microprocessor?

what happened to your usual story about working at silicon valley companies alongside super-smart people after having gone to the best colleges in the world?

or have you confused silicon valley, california with silicon hills, texas, what the tech companies mostly in austin are called?

very much so, more than you.

that's a 6800 variant, unrelated to macs, and a lot of microcontrollers of that era had ram on the chip, along with i/o.

i designed and built a few things with the 6801.

yet you don't know the proper terminology, known as little-endian and big-endian, and you also don't know that the power pc supported both.

did you know that is false?

apple browsers run on more than just ios devices, and ios devices are the most private, causing facebook to lose roughly 25% of its market cap in a single day because they can no longer data mine as well as they once could.

dude, i've been writing ios apps for nearly 15 years and have tested far more stuff than you can imagine even existing.

the fact is that apple does *not* (nor can they) disable a device for any reason, certainly not refusing to log in to icloud.

a few years ago, i powered on my original iphone, after having sat

*unused* for something like 10 years (not sure exactly how long) and it worked surprisingly well, considering how old it is.

the only issue was that some apps did little more than launch because the needed servers no longer existed, nor did the developers of the apps.

Dude. Then explain this message if Apple doesn't _require_ periodic login:

The fact that you can't make an iOS browser private and the fact that Facebook doesn't like telling customers that they spy on them...

Are two completely different things, nospam.

What kind of idiot thinks they're the same thing but you? Seriously.

The fact remains that you can't get the kind of privacy you need with an iOS browser.

formatting link

You just can't. Nobody can.

For you to deny that obvious fact means you know _nothing_ about iOS.

Smartphoens will rape your data plan very hard if you depend on streaming services for listening to music or newscasts, hence heavy FM use in areas where Internet connectivity is not plentyful.

Thinking everybody has an unlimited data plan is very First Worlder but some people still has plans with FUPs that cap at 2 GB and need all of it for important things.

what part of 'sign in again' is not clear?

nothing has been disabled.

if it had, you wouldn't have been able to get anywhere near that far.

enter your apple id (likely autofilled) and the password, and it will update whatever it needs to update.

unfortunately for you, you don't know what those are.

next time, write down whatever bogus email and password you decide to use.

like i said, the problem is entirely of your own making.

Still rocking my 1st gen iPad, iPhone 4, and so on here. Arlen's a clueless idiot who locks himself out of his own devices just so he can turn around and troll the Apple newsgroups with bullshit fabricated stories.

"hex coding" ... "memory order" ... LOL... what an idiot.

You asked me where my knowledge came from...

...I told you.

How are "account services" the same as the device?
