Mac mini がやってきた。先に届いていたモニターと接続、OSも最新バージョンにアップデート、やはり画面が広くて作業が快適である。これまでは一点に集中するような眼の動きが、周囲を見回すように変わった印象である。先日の運転免許更新時に気づかされた視力の衰え、これで少しは老眼に優しい環境になったことだろう。

3時30分起床。

日誌書く。

エノキ煮麺＋ヨーグルト＋豆乳。T姉からいただいたキノコシリーズ、本当に美味しい。

可燃ゴミ、30L*1＆45L*4。＜物置から書斎へ＞のために出た大量のゴミ、少しはスッキリした。

今日は私はオフ、ツレアイの珈琲と弁当を用意して職場まで送る。

ヤクルトさんから野菜ジュース購入。

iOS & iPadOS のアップデート、15.1へ。

watchOS のアップデート、8.1へ。

木曜日の「人権論」「環境論」の資料、Classroomにアップ。

11時、ようやくクロネコヤマトが荷物を届けてくれた。

セットアップ作業開始、梱包を解きmacとモニターを接続、Bluetooth でキーボードとマウスが繋がってスタート。最初はTimeMachine から復元作業をするつもりであったが、macOS のアップデートが来ていることに気づき、まずは初期設定を先に済ませる。

息子たちには鮭と葱の炒飯、私は吉野家の牛丼、これで残りご飯がきれいに片付いた。

Mac の設定作業、次はOSのアップデート、macOS Monterey 12.0.1。

仕事に必要なソフトを順番にインストール、ATOK・OneDrive・Office365・Evernote・Vivaldi・Pixelmator、後は必要に応じてその都度入れていこう。

西村歯科の予約は16時45分、10分前に入るとすぐに呼ばれる。いつも通りチェック＆クリーニング、次回は11/30（火）16時30分。

西大路七条・ライフで買い物、揚げ物を買って夕飯は手抜きする。

名古屋の大須演芸場から、クラウドファンディングのリターンが届いていた。定席が再開できたとのこと、頑張ってほしいものだ。

19時に3男が2度目のワクチン接種、戻ったところへツレアイも帰宅、一緒に夕飯。

チキンカツ・カキフライ・アジフライ、後は残っている野菜と漬物、燗酒。

テレビではプロ野球中継、ヤクルトがM2で今夜にも優勝が決まるかも知れないとのこと。しかし、野球も相撲もとうに関心なくて遠い世界になってしまった。

朝が早かったのですぐに睡魔到来。

今日も余裕で3つのリング完成、水分は1,800ml。

Torrent client for mac monterey

TORRENT CLIENT FOR MAC MONTEREY MOVIE

TORRENT CLIENT FOR MAC MONTEREY UTORRENT

TORRENT CLIENT FOR MAC MONTEREY DOWNLOAD

Unable to obtain elevated privileges (required): Unable to start (Client not allowed: Remote executable '/Applications/Eddie.app/Contents/MacOS/Eddie' not signed). it did stop functioning but never released the Network Lock. In 4+ years on Sierra/eddie i don't think eddie crashed once. i'm not sure Transmission was actually still DL/UL, maybe the Transmission transfer stats were latent? this would be unacceptable if Transmission/bittorrent is still DL/UL after eddie crashes for obvious reasons! lucky i was sitting and saw eddie crash and i was able to pull the plug. so the Network Lock was gone, i was running Transmission which still showed DL/UL stats were continuing. ran 5 days 24/7 crashed while i was doing nothing but staring.

TORRENT CLIENT FOR MAC MONTEREY MOVIE

Its an excellent choice for quickly streaming a movie or TV show with friends.Eddie 2.20.0 crashed/terminated, installed 5 days ago on new macmini M1 12.0.1. WebTorrent works with any torrent file or magnet link: just drag and drop to start streaming. Of course, you’ll need a decent Internet connection and a torrent with sufficient seeders for a functional streaming experience. When you seek with the playhead, WebTorrent reorganizes the packet priority based on your current playhead position. It works by tweaking the BitTorrent protocol to fetch data in playback order rather than in whatever order the network makes the data available. The player is simple and attractive, and it works well. But users of older torrent apps like Vuze will recognize and appreciate this feature. It’s in beta (v0.19 as of this writing) and open-source, so it’s bound to be a little quirky. Instead, it’s a streaming media application that uses the BitTorrent protocol to stream any media available in torrent form. It can function as a traditional, if limited, torrent client, but that’s not its core role. WebTorrent Desktop is an interesting supplement to a regular BitTorrent client. But if you don’t mind that, qBittorrent is awesome. The downside of this options parade is that basic configuration of the app can sometimes require an unfriendly dive into a monster mash of menus. Knowledgable power users will find dozens of settings to fiddle with. In fact, it provides perhaps the broadest set of options in a macOS BitTorrent client. It also includes support for UPnP/NAT-PMP port forwarding. qBittorrent includes support for major BitTorrent features like DHT, PEX and magnet links. That way you have the information you want without digging through menus. The interface adopts uTorrent’s approach of throwing everything at you in tabs. However, frequent users of FOSS will be used to that. It’s not as polished as Transmission or even uTorrent/BitTorrent. QBittorrent is a free and open-source BitTorrent client that runs on Linux, Windows and macOS.

TORRENT CLIENT FOR MAC MONTEREY PDF

The installer tries to trick you into making Yahoo! your default search engine and install PDF Expert, which is the kind of behavior you tolerate in pirated software because you know you’re dealing with criminals. It’s ad-infested, which is not the norm in desktop software and should not be tolerated.

TORRENT CLIENT FOR MAC MONTEREY UTORRENT

Well-loved on the Windows operating systems, uTorrent is also available for macOS. We recommend Transmissions to anyone coming to torrents for the first time or anyone disappointed in their current client. It also supports Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) and Peer Exchange (PEX).

TORRENT CLIENT FOR MAC MONTEREY DOWNLOAD

One of our favorite features is the ability to automatically sort torrents into different groups (and associated download locations) based on their titles. Power users can get their hands on the add-on library or mess with the built-in remote control tools.Ĭasual torrent downloaders can ignore that side of the software completely by simply using the attractive, Mac-style interface and core functionality. It runs well on resource-starved machines, occupying only a minimal amount of RAM and using only system resources that it absolutely needs. Its reliably simple interface and deceptively large feature set has made it an enduringly popular choice. Transmission isn’t an extremely powerful BitTorrent client for macOS, but it is easily the most popular.

About the iOS 12.0.1 Software License: The Serpent Behind the Bite

usually, when i update my iPhone 6 to a new version of iOS, i just click or tap Agree and go on with my life. but the update to iOS 12.0.1 was different. i wanted to know exactly what rights i am renouncing in my compulsory agreement to the iOS software license. these contracts are not friendly documents and show a company’s real personality instead of its bubbly and friendly marketingeese. when it comes to an internet company’s relationship with its customers, license agreements is where the rubber hits the road.

an alternative to Apple would have as its North Star the happiness of its customers, not profits. this alternative would be honest, respectful, humane, and reliable. and it would not hide behind disclaimers to protect itself against defects and failures of its products, because its products would be built on solid and secure foundations by knowledgeable professionals who follow sound development practices and who put the needs of their customers first, second, and third.

starting the update

after launching iTunes on my Mac and plugging in my iPhone to it, this dialog appeared:

after i clicked Download Only, the iPhone Software Update window appeared:

i clicked Next.

i need a concierge not a coach

the iPhone Software Update window now points me to safety information. it identifies an Important Product Information Guide document, apparently located here. that webpage, titled Manuals, doesn’t feature such document prominently.

the webpage offers me 49 search results for the term iPhone. now i have to look for a document that has “important safety information about my iPhone 6.” after clicking the “Load more results” button, i found the “iPhone 6 – safety, warranty, and regulatory information” result. clicking it reveals the document that usually comes in the little booklets included in iPhone packaging. are these booklets no longer included in the box? according to Flossy Carter, they still come in there. maybe Apple wants or is required to provide access to the content in those booklets regardless of how a person obtained an iPhone device. but getting pointed to it on every operating-system update seems weird.

iTunes knows exactly what device is being updated. a person-first experience would’ve displayed the document that applies to my device with no fuss instead of directing me to open a search page in a web browser, where i have to scan search results looking for a document whose title doesn’t match the very specific title the iPhone Software Update window provides.

the interaction thats supposed to get me to the “iPhone 6 – safety, warranty, and regulatory information” is very inefficient and, ultimately, unsatisfactory. the messaging in the update window makes it seem that my viewing the “iPhone 6 – safety, warranty, and regulatory information” document is a critical task. it isn’t.

instead of displaying the safety content directly, iTunes gave me a text URL, which i had to open in a web browser where i got to a confusing webpage. in there, i had to figure out that the page is a search page. then, i had to scan the results in search of a document using inaccurate information. because i am not using the latest devices, i had to click a button to the get to the right result set. and finally, i had to click what appeared to be the right to find out that the content wasn’t really that important for me.

Apple wasted my time. first, the iPhone Software Update window is the wrong place for me to access the iPhone 6 safety, warranty, and regulatory information. second, the name used to identify that content in the window is not accurate. third, iTunes shouldn’t have pointed me to a search page to find the content that an integrated software ecosystem—in this case macOS, iTunes, and the back end software—should have presented to me directly.

also, iTunes knows (or should know, with the appropriate data model) that i have used this phone for years and that i have updated its operating system many times through iTunes. (i back up the phone to my laptop and there are several backups present.) the iPhone Software Update window should not have asked me to read safety and regulatory content at this point in my ownership of the device. it’s 2018, software must be smart. it should bring the content i need to see to me, not send me on a wild goose chase to find it. it shouldn’t make me do things i don’t need to do. it shouldn’t waste my time.

to agree or to decline, not really an option

the iPhone Software Update window gives you two options (apart from the ability to save the license agreement to your Mac):

Decline: reject the new contract and remain on iOS 12.0

Agree: accept the agreement and continue the update process

i first clicked Save and then spent about 50 minutes reading the software license agreement. i have already accepted the iOS 12.0 license agreement (even though i didn’t read it then). the iOS 12.0.1 agreement should be almost the same. but Apple doesn’t provide a summary of the contract or the changes from the previous version; it’s on me to read the entire agreement, whether i already read the iOS 12.0 agreement.

every time you update the operating system on your phone, you must spend about an hour reading a contract that is very similar to the previous contract! this is not a good user experience.

installing the update

after reading the new contract using the Pages app, i clicked Agree in the iPhone Software Update window. iTunes did nothing to let me know what was going on. it didn’t say that it was downloading anything, the main status display didn’t change, the interface reflected nothing about the update process. all i could do what wait for something to happen. that was a very frustrating experience because i didn’t feel that iTunes cared about my time. software must always show the user respect, dereference, and value of eir time.

my only recourse for determining whether something was actually happening was to launch Activity Monitor, and examine the CPU and Network panes of its main window. at first, i saw that iTunes was busy doing something, its received bytes were increasing, but after a short period its activity stopped. so, maybe because it took me 50 minutes to read the software license, some operation of the update process timed out, and the process failed silently (i hadn’t unplugged the phone from the laptop). iTunes had failed in its task and didn’t tell me about it. silent failures in software is a sign of disrespect for the user.

i restarted the update process, this time with no delay for reading the license i compulsorily agreed to; i also clicked Download and Update in the update·process-initiation dialog. however, i got this:

note: an “unknown error occurred” doesn’t instill a lot of confidence in the software i use to manage the installation of my phone’s operating system. if iTunes doesn’t recognize a particular situation, it should ask the software component that produced the error to elaborate and come up with language that can be presented to the user. the “most advanced operating system in the world” and the apps that run on it must stop using the most archaic language in computing to communicate with its users. the time of unknown errors in software is gone. when communicating with people, software must use language they can easily understand. i shouldn’t be left wondering what could’ve gone wrong, or whether it was my fault. and, no, a “catch all” webpage that gives you steps to take that may fix an undetermined problem (like the one pictured below) is not the solution. smarter, reliable software is the solution. all that powerful silicon, all those cores must be used for something useful for people, not just for producing smooth animations.

clicking More Info got me this:

because i know better, i unplugged my phone from the laptop, restarted iTunes, and plugged the phone back in. now, after starting the update for the third time, i got some information about the update process:

so iTunes appears to be sensitive about timing, which results in a bad experience, something that should be abolished when it comes to personal computing. it appears that no one at Apple is following the workflow Apple tells its customers to follow when updating the operating system on their phones. no one at Apple is updating the operating system on an iPhone device while simulating what a regular user would do when updating the software on eir iPhone device: actually reading the software license agreement before downloading the software.

an analysis of the agreement

after installing iOS 12.0.1 on my phone, i was ready to spend some time going through the software license again, more carefully and making notes along the way.

Apple expects you to read the entire license agreement every time you update your phone’s operating system. this is because it says that you must agree to be bound by the new agreement while not providing you with a list of changes made to the previous agreement, or even a list of statements that summarize the agreement for those who would like to get an idea of what it says without reading the entire document.

that’s a terrible experience.

companies such as Apple need to provide a faster, easier way of communicating their license agreements with people if they expect people to keep buying and using their products, and trusting them with their valuable personal data.

providing a video that describes what you’re agreeing to using multimedia would be a great approach. also, summarizing the agreement into a bullet list of its most salient points, from the customers perspective, would help to give people the essential information they need to make a solid decision about the very consequential contract they’re about to enter into. for people who have agreed to the previous contract, a list of the differences between the previous and the current contract would inform them of how their relationship with the company is evolving, and give them confidence that they are dealing with a trustworthy entity who values its relationships with its customers, as opposed to a stranger who wants to take them for everything they got.

the following sections provide snippets of the iOS 12.0.1 software license agreement along with my comments.

2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.

(i) You acknowledge that many features, built-in apps, and Services of the iOS Software transmit data and could impact charges to your data plan, and that you are responsible for any such charges. You can view and control which applications are permitted to use cellular data and view an estimate of how much data such applications have consumed under Cellular Data Settings. In addition, Wi-Fi Assist will automatically switch to cellular when you have a poor Wi-Fi connection, which might result in more cellular data use and impact charges to your data plan.  Wi-Fi Assist is on by default, but can be disabled under Settings. For more information, please consult the User Guide for your iOS Device.

out of the box, iOS is configured in such a way that you may incur significant data charges (depending on things such as your cellular-service provider and your location)

to help prevent high cellular-service bills, Apple should make the Wi-Fi Assist feature opt-in (a “good” experience at a high cost is not a good experience).

this default configuration—in combination with the cellular carriers—may be construed as collusion between Apple and the cellular carriers to increase the revenue of cellular carriers, which would be untrustworthy behavior. making Wi-Fi Assist opt-in would alleviate that concern.

4. Consent to Use of Data.

When you use your device, your phone number and certain unique identifiers for your iOS Device are sent to Apple in order to allow others to reach you by your phone number when using various communication features of the iOS Software, such as iMessage and FaceTime.  When you use iMessage, Apple may hold your messages in encrypted form for a limited period of time in order to ensure their delivery. You may turn off FaceTime or iMessage by going to the FaceTime or Messages settings on your iOS Device. Certain features like Analytics, Location Services, Siri, and Dictation may require information from your iOS Device to provide their respective functions. When you turn on or use these features, details will be provided regarding what information is sent to Apple and how the information may be used.  You can learn more by visiting https://www.apple.com/privacy/. At all times your information will be treated in accordance with Apple’s Privacy Policy, which can be viewed at: https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/.

Apple, and many other companies, use phone numbers as a main way to identify people. phone numbers, email addresses, and other similar data should be treated as the private data that it is; they should not be required to communicate with a particular person. people without a phone number or an email address should be able to live a full digital life.

people should have just a few core identifiers that entities use to connect with a particular person. the core identifiers should be:

fullname

birthdate

birthplace

other identifies could be picture and nickname.

a people-centric internet would ensure the privacy of personally identifiable information, such as phone numbers and email addresses. current infrastructure and practice makes that impossible.

we need an internet capable of making connections between people that doesn’t require knowledge and disclosure of phone numbers and email addresses.

5. Services and Third Party Materials.

(i) In addition, Services and Third Party Materials that may be accessed, linked to or displayed on the iOS Device are not available in all languages or in all countries or regions. Apple makes no representation that such Services and Third Party Materials are appropriate or available for use in any particular location. To the extent you choose to use or access such Services and Third Party Materials, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws, including but not limited to applicable local laws and privacy and data collection laws. Sharing or syncing photos through your iOS Device may cause metadata, including where and when the photo was taken, and depth information, to be transmitted with the photos. Use of Apple services (such as iCloud Photo Library) to share or sync such photos will involve Apple receiving and storing such metadata. Apple and its licensors reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, or disable access to any Services at any time without notice. In no event will Apple be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to any such Services. Apple may also impose limits on the use of or access to certain Services, in any case and without notice or liability. 

why would Apple “disable access to any Services at any time without notice”? Apple is saying that without any justification to you, it can stop a service that you’re counting on. this is vile, untrustworthy, and mean behavior.

but, really, why would Apple have this statement in its software license agreement? to protect itself because your happiness is not Apple’s North Star. profit is Apple’s North Star. regardless of what its executives say in public, keeping its shareholders happy is Apple’s main motivation (as it should be because it is a publicly traded company).

a trustworthy entity that provides a service to you must provide that service without fail, or disclose to you the failure or the reason for the suspension of the service. if you ordered fries, you get fries, or you get a substitute. there is no third choice. oh, yes, you could leave. but where to? to your own platform, one that uses smart software components based upon reliable foundations that puts your interests first, in every respect.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties.

7.1     If you are a customer who is a consumer (someone who uses the iOS Software outside of your trade, business or profession), you may have legal rights in your country of residence which would prohibit the following limitations from applying to you, and where prohibited they will not apply to you. To find out more about rights, you should contact a local consumer advice organization.

section 7 of the agreement is very important and is the most difficult to understand because its purpose is not to inform. the purpose of the section is to give Apple its minimal default liability in regard with its dealings with users of iOS 12.0.1. its implications depend on where you live and the laws enacted there to protect your rights as a consumer of Apple products and services.

Apple is disclaiming all expectations of quality and performance (implied as a function of its offering of the products for sale and you purchasing them, or stated through its literature); it’s providing a “default” condition where it’s not liable for anything. but in your jurisdiction some or all these disclaimers could be legally meaningless because it may have laws that protect consumers from inaccurate or false product claims, failures, and not meeting implied or expressed quality and performance expectations.

companies could engender goodwill by providing comprehensive licenses that take into account a person’s location, or providing assistance to their customers in finding out what are their legal rights regarding the company’s products. in this regard, a third party could offer a service to companies and their customers that aggregates a company’s product information with local laws to determine a product’s real liability in a particular jurisdiction.

ultimately, you should consult with a lawyer to find out the true warranties of iOS 12.0.1 in your area.

7.3     TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE iOS SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND APPLE AND APPLE’S LICENSORS (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “APPLE” FOR THE PURPOSES OF SECTIONS 7 AND 8) HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE iOS SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, EITHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND/OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. 

this is where Apple disavows all legal responsibility for the performance and quality of iOS 12.0.1, including those Apple states in its literature. for example, if the iOS 12 lauded privacy features are ineffective and your information is accessed by a third party or you are tracked surreptitiously, Apple’s default position is that it isn’t liable, even if the reason for you getting an iPhone was its capability to protect your private data and prevent you from being tracked by third parties.

but if there are laws that protect your rights as a consumer where you live, you could have a case against Apple for providing a defective product or using deceptive practices. consult with a lawyer to find out your legal rights.

7.4     APPLE DOES NOT WARRANT AGAINST INTERFERENCE WITH YOUR ENJOYMENT OF THE iOS SOFTWARE AND SERVICES, THAT THE FUNCTIONS CONTAINED IN, OR SERVICES PERFORMED OR PROVIDED BY, THE iOS SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, THAT THE OPERATION OF THE iOS SOFTWARE AND SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE, THAT ANY SERVICE WILL CONTINUE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE, THAT DEFECTS IN THE iOS SOFTWARE OR SERVICES WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE iOS SOFTWARE WILL BE COMPATIBLE OR WORK WITH ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES. INSTALLATION OF THIS iOS SOFTWARE MAY AFFECT THE AVAILABILITY AND USABILITY OF THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, APPLICATIONS OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES, AS WELL AS APPLE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES. 

Apple is protecting itself against lawsuits due to a faulty iOS 12.0.1. in 2018, people must have a way to maximize their chances of using services from companies that stake their reputation on the quality of those services. users must know that services never fail because they’re built by knowledgeable professionals using sound development practices. they must also know that if a service does fail, for any reason, the service provider will not hide behind lincense agreement that is very favorable to it to avoid any consequences of its failures to its customers. i call this the stand by your product pledge.

trustworthy companies use trustworthy and reliable software components built on solid foundations. trustworthy companies treat their customers with respect.

we need a network that helps companies behave honestly, respectfully, and with accountability towards its core members: people. we need a person-centric internet.

7.6     NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY APPLE OR AN APPLE AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY. SHOULD THE iOS SOFTWARE OR SERVICES PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS ON APPLICABLE STATUTORY RIGHTS OF A CONSUMER, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSION AND LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. 

unless your jurisdiction protects your rights as a consumer, according to Apple you are responsible for the costs of fixing Apple’s failures. but local laws can protect you against this position, taken by a company who has made its fortune from people who buy its products based on its image and reputation, an image and reputation that’s soundly betrayed in this section of the license agreement.

8. Limitation of Liability.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL APPLE, ITS AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR PRINCIPALS BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, CORRUPTION OR LOSS OF DATA, FAILURE TO TRANSMIT OR RECEIVE ANY DATA (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION COURSE INSTRUCTIONS, ASSIGNMENTS AND MATERIALS), BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE iOS SOFTWARE AND SERVICES OR ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR APPLICATIONS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE iOS SOFTWARE OR SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF APPLE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. In no event shall Apple’s total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount of two hundred and fifty dollars (U.S.$250.00). The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose.

250 USD is what Apple is willing to pay you if its found liable for its failures (after it takes every possible legal recourse to avoid that outcome). companies that stand behind the quality of their products and their dedication to their customers don’t need to make statements like this one.

trustworthy companies don’t behave this way.

we need to establish a new relationship model between big, powerful companies and their customers.

9. Digital Certificates.

The iOS Software contains functionality that allows it to accept digital certificates either issued from Apple or from third parties. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DECIDING WHETHER OR NOT TO RELY ON A CERTIFICATE WHETHER ISSUED BY APPLE OR A THIRD PARTY. YOUR USE OF DIGITAL CERTIFICATES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, APPLE MAKES NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, SECURITY, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO DIGITAL CERTIFICATES.

apart from the unreliability of digital certificates, Apple is saying that it’s up to you to determine whether a certificate is trustworthy. if you don’t know what digital certificates are, that’s exactly why Apple’s statement is so troubling.

we need an internet with rock solid identification and authentication infrastructure, policies, and procedures. current infrastructure, policies, and procedures are woefully inadequate for providing secure and reliable identification and authentication services for entities of all types.

summary

these are my takeaways from analyzing the iOS 12.0.1 software license agreement:

the operating-system update process for an iPhone device on a Mac is very inefficient. iTunes should be more useful to people by presenting recommended content directly instead of directing them to look for a search page and scan the search results for the right document.

Apple makes you read a 7,000–word contract every time you update the operating system on your device.

to avoid high cellular-service bills in certain situations, you should turn off features like Wi-Fi Assist on your iPhone devices.

we should have infallible ways of connecting with people and stop using phone numbers and email addresses as personal identifiers because bad actors use them to profit or to access data illegally.

Apple says that it can “disable access to any Services at any time without notice.” trustworthy companies provide the services they promise to their customers without fail or provide reasons for failures and disconnections.

while Apple gives itself minimal default liability, the warranties of Apple’s products and services in your jurisdiction depend on its consumer laws. consult a lawyer to determine Apple’s legal exposure in your area.

Apple hides behind mean license agreements to protect itself against the consequences of defects in its products. trustworthy companies, however, develop and offer their customers reliable products that don’t fail.

Apple says that you’re responsible for the costs of fixing defects in the products you buy from it. your jurisdiction may differ with this statement, check with a lawyer.

Apple says that it’s up to you to determine the validity of certificates entity send you to prove their identity. a safe internet would provide better ways for entities to identify themselves to you. digital certificates are not safe.
