Apple must think we are stupid

[genxlib]

"They" have an "important update" to the iphone Ios that everyone is trying to get me to download and install.

Well I don't know what is in that update so why would I put it into my phone?

It came out way too quickly because apparently there was some kind of emergency dangerous vulnerability.

I even read that they can use it to track everything you do!

Well I have done my own research and I am not going to take it.

Based on what I have read, I should just open one of those random texts and click on the link provided. Lucky me, I have one that will also enhance my penis size!

So you sheeple can do what Apple demands you to do.

I am making a stand for Freedom

1. Almost all of the apple users that

I personally know, are also Republican anti vaxxers.

[badhair77]

2. Ok, you had me going at the beginning but thank goodness

I saw the sarcasm emoji. I saw an alert on DU yesterday and updated all my devices but for a moment you had me second guessing that decision.

[genxlib]

4. No worries

I got my update AND my vaccination.

[IronLionZion]

21. Sheep!

That's exactly what they wanted you to do.

[Hugin]

3. I'm trying to figure out how to go back to iOS 9...

On my 2020 SE.

Bastards!

:spits:

[SouthernDem4ever]

10. I am still using MacWeb on my Mac Plus

[Hugin]

13. We should burn all of our Apple products and go with...

Etch-a-sketch.

I have deducted from social media posts by people's cousins that they are 500% Internet tubes compatible!

[GemDigger]

41. Time to upgrade.

[Goonch]

6. My cousin's friend got the update and it cracked the screen

[ItsjustMe]

7. Do you follow Louis Rossmann

[Sucha NastyWoman]

8. I don't even know if my screen is cracked

Because mine suddenly developed a magnetic force so string that I can’t get it loose from my fridge.

[milestogo]

22. Microsoft authenticator turned my Android screen lime green and the touchscreen stopped working.

No kidding. I had to replace the phone.

[IronLionZion]

26. The update turned me into a newt

I got better

[unblock]

28. A hahaha classic!

[genxlib]

46. That is one of my all time favorite movie moments.

Well played.

[PatSeg]

31. Ha, ha, ha!!!

9. It stops the Iphone from vibrating if you are a devout christian.

We all know that vibrators are a gateway to sex, and sex is the leading cause for abortions.

[HuskyOffset]

11. I like how you reverse-capped iOS into Ios, perfect!

I put people that can't get iOS, iPhone, macOS, etc. capitalization correct in the same category as people who use "Democrat" as an adjective consistently.

[Iggo]

42. My iPhone autocorrects that to iOS every time.

Even this time…lol.

12. We left Apple's eco-system this year

With the death of our iMac I am completely over Apple.

My son built us a Manjaro Powered Desktop that rocks and is upgrade-able. He also installed Ubuntu on my old Chromebook that wasn't being upgraded years ago. I switched to a Pixel 5 this past year and love it. Apple charges too much for way too little.

[USALiberal]

14. Yet, they own the market share! Nt

[sellitman]

20. They make great products

I will admit that. They are just charging waaaay too much.

[USALiberal]

25. I agree with you there!!!!

[spooky3]

34. Buy stock in them if you can. I buy on "dips" a few shares

at a time, when everyone else panics. They may get too much of my money when I buy my Mac and iPhone, but the quality is good so I can use them longer than average, and if I can make money on stock gains, it’s all good.

[IronLionZion]

23. Good to see more people using Ubuntu

I have it installed on an old laptop. Good stuff

[IbogaProject]

38. Manjaro is great

Manjaro is great, though ubuntu has a little more prebuilt software.

[New Haven]

15. you have missed an opportunity to extend the warranty on your car!

[irisblue]

16. NGL( Not Gonna Lie) you had me in the first half genxlib.

[Ocelot II]

17. I got the update and now my iPhone is stuck to the refrigerator.

[bronxiteforever]

24. Lost my coffee on that one!

[blm]

29. Lolol

[spooky3]

36. Heeheehee! Nt

[fescuerescue]

18. I onced worked for a major tech company in their product vulnerability team

We are all using their technology to read and post this very second.

Anyway, those sort of emergency updates with little details were the worst.

You had to get it out to everyone, but the details of the vulnerability also had to be kept secret until most people had the patch.

Those were stressful times.

[IronLionZion]

19. If your phone is magnetic

then that's proof of something nefarious

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Don't get the nanochip tracker vaccine but get the Apple rechargeable tracking device?

[Sympthsical]

30. Not gonna lie, you had me in the first part

People actually do say that about "mysterious" updates, lol.

So excited about the 13 reveal today, because I desperately need a new phone. Mine looks like the painting of Dorian Gray. Hopefully they'll be on sale by the end of the month.

[PatSeg]

32. Oh, that was brilliant!

Bravo!

[Eyeball_Kid]

33. Oh, it's just a massive data breach. Nothing to worry about. n/t

[Backseat Driver]

37. I'm okay - Me and my iPhone Pro Max are protected by a hunk

of authentic shungite from some Russian region - Go Buckyballs! Taking no chances w/5G and it's a great text conversation starter and tower voice call inhibitor.

39. Unfortunately the hack got me

Sunday night. I had to go online and unlock my phone and iPad and change the password. The IP address was Canada and I live in Europe so it was scary for a minute. We updated with this patch on Monday.

[TeamProg]

40. Nice job! n/t

[Buckeye_Democrat]

43. I decided to download something horse-related instead!

It's called "trojan horse", which I expect to work better than Apple's update!

[Takket]

44. Hey did the penis size thing work? Asking for a friend...

[ananda]

45. LOL.

That was funny.

I updated my OS on all my devices yesterday.

[Silent3]

47. Unfortunately, my wife's computer actually got fucked doing that update

I'm trying to recover it now. I'm not sure if it was the new update itself, or the update to Big Sur that started as a first step. By default, the Software Update process never offered an update that patched this vulnerability while sticking to her old OS version.

The laptop I'm on now is running Big Sur, and so is my desktop system. Big Sur hasn't been a problem for me. But my wife was in no hurry to update her system... and unfortunately it locked up during the update, leaving me no choice but to do a forced power down. We waited overnight and a good chunk of today, so it was clearly not going to get unstuck on its own.

[CousinIT]

48. Yea FORCEDENTRY ought to make you suspicious eh?

I mean innit that like "FORCEDVACCINE"?

REALLY. How dumb do they think we are?!?!
