Apple backs move to make corporations accountable to citizens, not shareholders
Very good, a way to legally get out of the stranglehold of the shareholders.
Hopefully Apple stops burning its money now and starts doing something valuable with it (to even give it away to passengers by is better than burning it, maybe use it to almost give away Apple stuff).
I got kicked out of the software company I worked for because shareholders demanded a better ROI.
This resulted in a total stranger (also a foreigner) and mercenary manager (say Mike) to kick out half the employees - while managing to kick out almost all key employees - and in doing so making the product unsustainable and ruining the company. A first rate morally challenged asshole.

Siri 'whistleblower' details drug deals & sex heard during manual reviews
Siri is a complete dead end.
Thinking you can improve your ‘process’ (who calls it that way?) in this way is really incredible.
One reason for not wanting to have a Tesla Model 3 is that “your data are belong to us (Tesla)”, which is of course completely unacceptable (Tesla searches your info to see if your to blame in case of an accident ...).
This kind of corporate attitude has to change, users shouldn't have to sell their soul to be able to use the very expensive stuff they buy.

'SiriOS' predicted for 2020 WWDC - here's what it might be
When Safari has a segmentation fault or runs out of memory it restarts (the page you are on) automatically and mentions this in the process.repressthis said:
Imagine SiriOS to function as a form of conscience that understood, for example, if an iOS app was unresponsive and a force quit and reopen was in order. Instead of Apple replying on the user to understand their predicament, be resourceful and act accordingly, SiriOS could immediately act, prompting the user with a simple pop up notification to act on or dismiss. Upon receiving consent SiriOS would complete the task for the user. Unrelated to Apple, imagine if your WIFI router knew to reset itself when the internet goes down.mpantone said:This is retarded. There isn’t going to be a SiriOS.
Mangrove doesn’t understand the fundamental purpose of an operating system.
An operating system is a big complicated program that lets other big complicated programs co-exist on the same system (platform). No one runs an operating system for the OS. You run it because it allows the programs you want to use live peacefully together.
macOS. An operating system for programs to co-exist on a Mac. iOS: for iPhone, iPod touch. tvOS. watchOS, iPadOS. See a pattern?
There is no Siri platform. Siri is not a platform or system. It is an interface, just like touch screens, keyboards, mice, trackpads, etc.
Unsurprisingly, Apple knows what an operating system is.
Right mouse click on an app icon and macOS indicates that it is unresponsive (most of the time when it is unresponsive) and suggests a ‘force quit’.
’Task manager’ indicates which apps are unresponsive ...
Its by the way possibly (Turing) ‘undecidable’ if an app is unresponsive and ‘stuck’ or just humming along churning its bits in a meaningful (be it time consuming) way.

Utter nonsense. Siri is at best ‘highly incapable’ at the moment.
Its a really awkward read: investors becoming visionary all of a sudden.
When pigs can fly.

Microsoft blocks Windows 10 update over Boot Camp driver issue
MySQL runs fine on macOS (and Unix in general).MacPro said:This saved my ass! I run a lot of MySQL databases on Windows servers (using Windows 10 Pro, not Server 2016 I should add). The only one that wasn't f****d up was one running on a Mac mini with Boot Camp that didn't get updated to from v1809 to v1903 (I think that's the stupid version numbers, who thinks these things up at MS?)
I'd ignore all advice above and use the 'if it ain't broke' philosophy for now.
