What is the auto updater Process Name? Then maybe I could kill it in Activity Monitor.

I don't see anything that looks to be associated with Zoom running on my computer, but I have not used Zoom since the last restart.

What is the point of these ads? Aren't Apple's Music radio stations available to everyone on a subscription? How will they get more money if someone hearing the ad decides to listen to the station. How successful are these radio stations? Maybe no-one listens and the people responsible want to justify their jobs by getting an audience.

Another example of the failure of leadership at Apple. The man at top seems more interested in donating money to disaster relief than building a future for the company he plans to leave soon (although I don't remember anything about helping the millions of refugees from Ukraine).

Time to get rid of the technocrat and get someone who understands the technology and people (both inside and outside the business).

Not sure why the EU’s investigation into Apple Pay was tacked on to the end of this article. Completely different thing.

Maybe not. The UK might be using this to promote a regulation-free alternative to the EU for Big Tech investment.

What happens if the iPhone shuts down because the battery runs out of power? In this case, is the NoReboot code still present in the compromised background processes and is the malicious code which installed it (or any other malicious code) still present?

Why doesn't Apple help a privacy advocate such as the duckduckgo organization and let them supply the search engine? Apple doesn't need the revenue stream at this point. Wouldn't that partner be more in line with Apple's current privacy stance? Or maybe you have to be in the "Big Tech" fraternity to be considered, or maybe duckduckgo is unable to scale to accommodate such volume for what ever reason...

Except for the FACT that duckduckgo is a useless piece of crap that can’t find anything. I know, I’ve tried using it several times and always had to return to Google to get what I was looking for. Google Search may have privacy problems but it is the best algorithm out there, period.

Must be user error - I’ve been using DDG almost exclusively for 2 years. Really don’t miss google

I also find DuckDuckGo meets my needs for search. Maybe others do not find it satisfactory because it's not as effective at converting vaguely worded queries into what the user wants. But that's just speculation; since I don't use Google I can't comment on whether it might be a "better" search engine.
