- I see Linux guys complaining about Microsoft
* But you've seen nothing * Apple takes it to a whole nother level with Big Sur
- Introduce
- Might sound hyperbolic
* It's not really

- Why is Apple tracking what apps you open bad
- “Who cares?” I hear you asking.
* I've heard a lot of people mention this argument regarding Windows
* I'm not doing anything bad
* I don't care about this
- 1.
* If you're on public Wi-fi all this information cna be sniffed * Knowing where routers are located you can pin point someone's location
- 2. Akamai
* Let's assume they're too be trusted * Why does a 3rd party have this information
- 3. Who knows how many times they've done it in 2020
- For some people, this can even pose a physical danger to them.
* This is only with the data we know is being tranferred
- But what about Little Snitch
* It's a program to block this connection isn't it
- Firewall and VPN ignoring
- Potential Fix
* Don't do anything sensitive on your mac in public * At any point Apple could expand this list
- New Silicon
* Curious to see if you could get Linux running it
- If you used a pi-hole
* You could avoid this phoning
- Censored
* So what if the US government says
* Apple you must stop bittorrent from being able to run
* They can clearly stop apps working with this server
* What's to say that don't do that
* Or Tor Browser, Brave, Firefox
- Just a nice little cherry on top
- Techy macos users might stop using macos
* The uni lecturers and programmers * I don't expect it happen
- Nothing will change
* In fact
* If this video breaks out of my regular audience
* There will probably be people defending
* Apple can do no wrong
* And they're always right
