  • That link makes it seem like Apple can’t read what you’re doing, so it’s different from Google.

    This is where Private Relay comes in. When enabled, the addresses you visit are encrypted on your device, and then handed to Apple (who can’t read it - think of it as handing a sealed envelope to a letter carrier). Apple then passes these onto Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 DNS. Cloudflare only sees that they came from Apple, so they have no idea who the actual person is. In this sense, only Apple knows who you are, and only Cloudflare knows what website you visited, so it’s more private (unless both companies collude to match up the data). The technical term for this is Oblivious DNS over HTTPS.

    At the risk of being pilloried here….

    I’ve been using windows 11 at home and work for over a year now. It’s fine. I’ve not seen ads aside from easily removed links to apps (not even fully installed apps, just links to install them), I don’t see removed functionality. It’s not slow.

    It doesn’t make me cum, it’s also not terrible - it’s fine. Just like every windows except ME and early Vista.

    I like tabs in explorer and the new task manager. Dark mode notepad is nice. I got used to the start menu because across macOS and windows, I just keyboard shortcut -> completion match search to launch things.

    This is the same cycle I’ve seen since 98SE.
