Apple CEO Tim Cook buys Southern California mansion for $10.1M
...perhaps...bestkeptsecret said:
I think you are overthinking it.bobolicious said:For a CEO touting environmental responsibility and with such potential design and financial resources available this raises so many questions...
I might have expected (hoped for) a choice more along the lines of Naturhus Sweden from Apple TV+ Home adapted for California climate...?
For consideration in comparison Steve Jobs had sought to custom build a 4,910sf home for his entire family: gizmodo.com/exclusive-the-plans-for-steve-jobs-new-house-5649909
"Jobs intends to populate the 6 acres with an assortment of indigenous flora; a simple three-car garage; a modest 5 bedroom home with plenty of windows and decks; a network of lighted stone walkways; and even a private vegetable garden. Everything is neat, tight, pragmatic, and in its place"
"Steve Jobs has gone and designed the iPhone of houses"
... and this was a decade ago when the symptoms of climate change were so widely contested by vested interests ...
How should leadership be defined...?
... then again perhaps we might benefit from thinking more: www.footprintcalculator.org/home/en ...

Apple keeps making third-party screen repairs harder
...I remember another prominent valley company touting 'we are not evil'...?
Might disabling face recognition actually be desirable from a privacy perspective ?
Might a 3rd party repair compromise the authenticity (value) of any 'waste' data that might survive on Apple servers or web tracking ?

Apple prompts upgraders to 'get ready' for iPhone 13
... is this one more attempt to normalize customer data on iCloud servers, with permission of course...?

Apple updates Mail on iCloud.com with new design, Hide My Email
... it should be noted that iCloud mail is currently unencrypted on Apple servers per: support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
I have set up S/MIME yet almost nobody I use email with has been willing or able to follow suit...
Would encrypting iCloud email and/or making S/MIME easy 'for the rest of us' be a logical thing IF Apple truly is interested in customer data protection...?
Would such require collective participation to make it effective...?
When Apple introduced Photos with always on auto tagging it became so concerning I stopped using the app, and always tried to avoid iCloud although certain documents are apparently stored even with all set to off...
How much revenue does Apple generate from search engines featured in Safari that can then monetize the data bread crumbs left behind...?
So many questions since 2011...
