is that even legal??

I have no idea but the whole experience was so surreal...while navigating the myriad of places it might be I noticed that clicking certain links would automatically sign you up for new services and newsletters. I should blog about it.

ehhh? I have no idea how a bug like that happens, it could be my paranoia watching these huge companies play with their consumers that way to not believe it was a bug, but if you read the whole article that “bug” didn’t happen to everyone’s iPhone and Apple responded saying they were “investigating” the issue but never really commented on it afterwards.

That's what makes me think it was a bug. So I did have analytics and significant locations turned on but the latter is encrypted and sent to Apple but cannot be used by them, only by your device. The analytics though I'm sure I turned off.

Interesting. still annoying tho especially with the whole Flipper Zero shenanigans.

This one is stupid on Apple's part. They're definitely trying too hard to protect their users from technology and it's driving me mad to be honest. I know for a fact some of my calendar events are disappearing (because they end up in calendar trash) but have no idea why or which device is causing it and I'm really just about to go all in on thunderbird and say fuck it.

the latter is encrypted

Did you make a program to encrypt it before it's sent to Apple? cause if apple is the one encrypting it they probably can make it so they can easily decrypt it too.
