History of Apple
On January 11, 1976, Apple released the Apple I, its first computer.
Will Apple Intelligence’s most popular feature be ad blocking? Will it even be possible to block Apple ads?

I think AI is now the new scary thing in the IT world for many people. I think Apple has a great opportunity to develop and commercialize AI-secure computing. If they could develop their own AI and ensure it was quarantined, transparent and robust, I think there would be a lot of incentive for a lot of people to switch platforms.

They’re not MacBooks, but Chromebooks are by far the most durable laptops on the market, BAR NONE! They are used by carless DGAF students and truckers who beat them daily like hired mules… and they keep running.
