Apples, extortion department

Post by Jim @ Jawa »

Between yesterday and today, I have got three final warnings about paying iCloud to store my shit. Three warnings yesterday and four warnings today. Yesterday warning emails came in early in the morning at 5:33 AM 5:51 AM and 6:08 AM. Today the iCloud warnings came in at 5:53 AM 6:07 AM 6:21 AM and 6:35 AM. I've been getting these final warnings for several years and I've been hitting a delete button on every one of them. If I wasn't so old, I would switch to micro slop.
:evil: :twisted:

Apple and their iCloud extortion crew are beginning to be a real pain in the ass
You guys stay safe and as happy as this life will allow.

Apple is a totalitarian company. Everything has to be their way or no way, but I have to give them props for introducing, or at least popularizing quite a few things that we take for granted today. Like the GUI (Graphical User Interface). Apple didn't invent it ZEROX did, but Apple made it work and forced Microsoft to move away from DOS. USB, Smart Phones, and many other things came from Apple first.

But, the empire wants to control everything you do, and they charge a premium price for the privilege of using their products.

We don't own a single Apple product, but we do own some Apple stock, so please keep buying IPhones and MACs.

;) 8-)

P.S. Microsoft is not a saintly company either.
