Could be good if they are willing to try, and you choose a distro that closely resembles Windows. And they aren’t purchasing new hardware and their current Windows OS isn’t being supported anymore.

Big fan of if it works, why change it?

Also, don’t promise them that it’ll be perfect and magical, set their expectations to be realistic. (This is where typically people convinced to buy a Mac quickly learn to hate it. They are promised it will never have problems and then they have one problem after another, leading to hating it and tired of having to message for more help. And a lot of people I’ve found that sing blind praises for anything are the same ones quick to blame and down talk users when things goes wrong)

First challenge would be trying to convince them to spend a ton of money for a computer that they only use to do basic web surfing.

Then there is the fact that MacOS is different than Windows in look and feel, so a larger learning curve, all to do what they’ve always done before. People don’t like change, and the bigger the change, the more the pushback.

And in my parents case, they have already talked to other parents who’s kids convinced them to get a Mac. And heard all the complaints and regrets of those other parents for buying a Mac, and how it will be their first and last Mac. (My mother needed help buying a new laptop a few months ago, so I know about this).

Last time I tried it? Like freeze and be unresponsive on my phone for seconds at a time slow. (My phone doesn’t lock up though, I can still go to the home screen, swipe to see notifications so it’s not the phone locking up completely)

They are banning you from owning those books.

Pride event canceled because they were going to give away banned books

It’s a police battering ram.

Market size has also gone up. 30 years ago and selling a million copies is mind-blowing. Today it’s on the lower end of big game launch. Lower profit per unit, but many more units sold which really helps balance out the difference.

Violation of the Geneva Convention.

They have the app stores ban it from being downloaded if you are in the USA. This is already done, and app stores aren’t affected by on device VPNs, so it wouldn’t be that easy to get around.

For example, you can’t download this app since (I’m guessing) you live in the USA, similar enough. It’s geolocked. Same will happen with Tiktok.

Seems everyone jumped to conclusions about this article.

Yes, iPhones are blocked because they lack security. This is military, so they aren’t worried about basic malware. They are worried about government level security issues (Pegasus, etc…). And let’s be blunt, on this level, Apple keeps showing that they lack security in the real world situations. Yet the latest of a long list of iPhones being targeted and hacked.

Now, where people seem to be badly jumping to conclusions is that the article points out that “many” devices will be banned, so no, I doubt the latest Samsung Galaxy phone will be allowed. They are most likely going to require people use a Samsung Tactical Edition smartphone. These are designed for military usage and prevent phones from being secretly turned on for recording private conversations by hacks like Pegasus. These phones have been around for a few years now, and have likely been thoroughly tested and approved now.

This isn’t some knee-jerk patriotic requirement, but a real understanding of what is and isn’t a secure device, combined with the fact that Korea has to deal with a more and more aggressive China. They need real security for real world military.

but also informal communications such as private phone calls (within military buildings).

They are worried about iOS being insecure as it’s been shown time and time again that iOS devices keep getting hacked and this kind of thing happens. Here is the latest issue with it from 12 days ago.

When dealing with the military, you need to make sure your devices are secure, not “well basic users most likely couldn’t break into it.”

Now, the title is terrible because it does point out later in the article that many devices will be banned, so it’s most likely not just iPhones, but also off the shelf Samsung phones as well. They will most likely want a secure smartphone like a Samsung Tactical Edition smartphone, as those are secure and have military designs.

You mean the Samsung “Tactical Edition” smartphones?

They’ve been around for years. They were originally built for the Korean military. And it didn’t cost them an “astronomical” amount of money.

Restarting phone as well so the same thing

More likely close sources drivers.

You turn it off. It says so in the link.

User Controls: Android users always have full control over which of their devices participate in the Find My Device network and how those devices participate. Users can either stick with the default and contribute to aggregated location reporting, opt into contributing non-aggregated locations, or turn the network off altogether.

“I didn’t know what it was, how was I supposed to know not to delete it?”

Forgot to add “Add a comma in your password, so if the all the user logins get leak, it will destroy the CSV file it gets uploaded to”.

More like it’s because it doesn’t support Mac as much as they want them to.

It is illegal to a degree, it violates rules and regulations with the IRS. When they back a politician, they are supposed to lose their church non-profit status. But that doesn’t happen because any move to it would cause a huge “the government is attacking out religious freedoms/churchs”.

In fact it’s now a religious event every year called “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” to purposefully break these laws.
