  • DuckDuckGo could have been Apple's private search engine

    I see that Ecosia is now an option in Safari. I'm not sure when it was added, but I assume it was for macOS Sonoma. I hadn't heard of it before. This seems like something that is inline with Apple's ethos that they could get for cheap... assuming they felt they could earn more profit than what Google gives them (which seems very doubtful).

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosia


    edit: It looks like Apple added it on "14 December 2020 [...] as a search engine option in macOS Big Sur 11.1 and iOS/iPadOS 14.3."

    From an Ecosia announcement in 2020

    Why the fuck would you post about Chrome here? Do you think that Chrome needs the free marketing boost from you?
    Shills gotta shill. Wouldn't it be great if they marked all posts of that ilk with "promotional crap paid with their integrity."

    That’s… let’s see… five meteoric rises now?

    the original Mac…

    the iPod…

    the iPhone…

    the iPad…

    Apple silicon macs…

    or I guess if you had to, you could break it down into three:

    original Apple. 

    Steve Jobs comeback Apple. 

    Tim Cooks Apple. 

    But wait, aren’t there m3 macs, more iPhones, iPads, vision pros, apple cars, and who knows what else to come? 

    Come on keybanc, apple may have stolen your girl, but there are plenty of fish in the sea. No need to get petty. 
    I don’t think the original Mac was a huge success. I believe the Apple II sustained the company until the end of the 80s.
    That Mac wasn't a success 🤦‍♂️ There, I fixed your post for you.
    Negative nellies and Goldilocks ("too this, too that," never happy) have nearly completely ruined this site (as they did MacRumors). Sadly, the editorial bent of late seems to keep inviting more of them this way, which makes it quite intentional. Sigh.

    I'm not dismissing your claim, as it can happen, but my parents and I have launch Apple Pencil 2's, and they continue to hold a charge just fine.
    So what you’re saying is your experience is different to someone else’s?
    No, but anecdotes aren't rules, ffs even in a complainer's paradise.
