Homomorphic-based Enhanced Visual Search is so privacy-preserving, iPhone giant activated it without asking
I have never liked Apple and lately even less. F.... US monopolies

Remember, when you buy an apple product, you're directly supporting Trump.

What a great picture 😃 and true on so many controversial topics…
I agree. Definitely.
However, your money actually just went to Trump, via Apple, and their hardware and services.
And it would go to him if I bought an android.
In pretty sure Xiaomi don't pay Trump. But, you never really know.
What we do really know, is Apple do. Spending with Apple is spending with Trump, guaranteed.
So are a lot of other companies.
And, we can try and avoid them. Or, we can pay trump through them.
There are so many android manufacturers that wouldn't even spit in trumps direction. The choice is there. It can be taken. Or, we can shrug, find excuses, and just give Trump our money through apple (in this example).
Yes, this is bigger than just phones. PLENTY of other combines donated to him.
You are avoiding those companies too, right?
Whatever makes you feel better. Do what you can. If you know you can make a difference, I feel you should. Giving up IS an option, but, in my mind, not a required one.
Good day sir.
1 million is pocket change for the trilionaire class.
It’s a symbolic pro-rape gesture in my eyes
Don't they mean Tim Apple?
and google isnt? and meta / facebook isnt? etc
The "donation" has nothing to do with Apple. Tim Cook is a gay man who doesn't want himself or his family to be lynched by Trump's wandering gangs of violent homophobic and racist thugs. That wasn't a donation - it was protection money for the mob.
Then he should also pay everyone else's ransom for being gay in America.
Fair. Maybe if he'd given some of Apple's ill gotten gains to gay organisations we wouldn't be here!
I think it was his end run around Apple donating the money directly which would have been a complete disaster. I don’t think Cook supports trump in a “rah rah” sort of way, but knows if the company doesn’t pay him suck up money, it will come back to haunt them later.
Either way, it’s still gross.
