The iPhone SE sitting next to this computer does not have, and never did have, an AppleID. It works. Just not with iCloud or any of the other things that Apple ties to it (Books, iTunes/Music/Movies/TV, etc.) I don't need any of that on a work phone. Hi Panthera Tigris Altaica, There is an extremely simple test of imaginary belief systems o Name just one That is, imaginary belief systems are supported by exactly 0 facts. I don't make **** up - so let's simply ask you to prove what you said. o Since I'm a firm believer that imaginary belief systems have no proof As everyone knows on this ng, when nospam says anything, it's worthless because his answers are always just guesses - hence his response was no more credible than the result of a brain dead statistical coin toss would be. You have to doublecheck EVERYTHING he says - which makes whatever he says, utterly worthless as a result of his utter lack of adult credibility. However, I don't have the experience with you to make any claims about your credibility - so - as with all posters I don't know much about - I will assume your post is purposefully helpful - and purposefully correct. Hence, I will only need to ask you the most basic adult question: o Tell me how to do this for my iPads The iPad in my hand, for example, is this one: o The 2017 9.7-inch 128GB iPad with Wi-Fi is $300 at Costco https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.ipad/2kUo5789jSk/vmk_Irh8AQAJ Since I never update the iOS diarrhea unless I'm forced ot (Apple never sufficiently tests the iOS diarrhea in the real world), the iOS version is ... (let me check) ... o iOS 11.2.6 (15D100) o And, noteworthy, Apple also REQUIRES an advertiser ID. No, they don't. No such code is on any of my devices. Bear in mind, on Android... (and on Windows & Linux)... o I already have a working privacy based solution I just want a similar privacy-based working solution for iOS! Again, I have plenty of iOS devices where I'd love to test it out. o Just point me to a WORKING solution that does what I do on Android 1. No need for an AppleID (e.g., to obtain apps from the iTunes App Store) 2. App IPAs can easily be shared to anyone on the planet (like APKs are) 3. No advertiser ID whatsoever (as Android is sans a Google Account). etc. Remember, I already have all this (and more) privacy on Android. o If the iPad can even approach Android privacy - I'd be ecstatic. Just tell me how to remove the Apple ID from all my iPads & still download from the official app store (and share with anyone) - just like we can already easily do on Android (and without an advertiser ID ever even existing). Without jailbreaking. In particular no such code is on any of the apps we have set up for use on our own devices and sideloaded without having to access the Apple Store. We know that there is no such code as we built the apps ourselves. Nor are there any such codes in any apps we download from the Apple Store to load onto our company devices. I have plenty of iOS devices. Just tell me how to remove the Apple ID from all my iPads & still download anything I want from the official app store (and share it with anyone I want, free apps of course), just like we can easily do on Android (and without an advertiser ID ever even existing). Without jailbreaking. Where the Apple ID is literally embedded into EVERY APP you download o Even free apps! Doesn't affect those who never download anything from the Apple Store because the device doesn't have an AppleID. Bear in mind that you can download ANYTHING on the Google Play store without having a Google Play account (e.g., you use a different interface to the Google Play store, such as the spoofing available with Aurora). Even though you just proved me right (I don't make **** up so you should always understand that my credibility is stellar on iOS), I always say we're all more powerful together, than we are alone. So if you know how I can do, on iOS, what I already do, on Android o I would LOVE to test it out. Juist tell w do I REMOMVE the AppleID from my iPads o And still download apps from the official iTunes App Store o And, share those free apps with anyone I want to share them with o All without the advertiser ID ever even existing on Android We can and do use a _company_ AppleID to get apps for use on company gear. If there is a code embedded in the apps, then they have a problem as everyone will have the same code. Which, as no such code is in any of the apps available to the company devices, is even less of a problem. There is an extremely simple test of imaginary belief systems o Name just one That is, imaginary belief systems are supported by exactly 0 facts. You're telling me that the iPhone SE sitting next to this computer has an AppleID when I _know_ it doesn't _as I was the one who set it up?_ Really? No need to read further, you have no clue about what you're posting. It is _trivial_ to set up iOS devices to not use AppleIDs, and easier yet to set up macOS devices to not use AppleIDs! I have done both multiple times! Anyone who tries to tell me that it is not possible to use iOS or macOS devices without an AppleID is, simply, either lying or insane. Pick one. Asswipe Holder is both, plus an ignorant troll. Just ignore the brainless f'wit. |

On Wed, 2 Oct 2019 14:02:13 -0600, Ken Springer wrote:
I expect Microsoft to try everything in order to get users to use Microsoft accounts. I therefore take active measures against them. Apple appears to do similar, but is better at letting you know you have the option of not signing in with an Apple account. This is a summary, not specifically for Ken Springer, but for everyone o Where, together, we are more aware of factual truth & logical assessment o Than we are alone. To that end, here's my factual perspective on privacy/functionality of: o Accounts & portability of apps o Advertiser ID of users 1. The point of this thread, was to learn more about what Microsoft is doing with the enforcement of an account, which, we all can easily ascertain based on the facts, is kind of sort of what Apple and Google have been doing for quite a long time on iOS and Android respectively. ACCOUNTS & PORTABILITY: On Windows, historically, the "official" app store has NOT been the typical location for "most free apps", whereas, on the Apple/Android mobile devices, the situation is a bit more focused on the "official" app store, where, only on iOS is the account ID permanently associated with the typical free app that typical users download & use, and, only on iOS, is the downloaded app NOT portable across almost any device and almost any user on this planet with a similar device. ADVERTISER ID: Likewise, on Windows, the "advertiser id" has, historically, not existed, although I don't keep up with how Windows 10 has been doing with the advertiser ID of late (where I welcome factual clarifications), whereas on Android, the advertiser id clearly does not exist if the account doesn't exist, while, in stark contrast, the advertiser id clearly exists on iOS and can not be removed sans jailbreaking. SUMMARY on ACCOUNTS: a. On Windows, an account is generally not needed for "most" free apps. b. On Android, an account is generally not needed for "most" free apps. c. On iOS, an account is decidedly required for "most" free apps. SUMMARY on PORTABILLITY: a. On Windows, free apps are portable to all users on all similar devices. b. On Android, free apps are portable to all users on all similar devices. c. On iOS, free apps are not portable to all users even if on similar devices. If these facts & assessments are wrong, or need tweaking, then please add value as Usenet is a potluck where we all share our factual and reasonable assessments - so that we know more - together - than we do - alone. |

Yeah. However, over the years I've seen vendors (HP. Samsung. Sony. Others.) who think that gouging the customer is something they should always try to do. And then never understand when the customer declines to buy more from them. |

Hi nospam, You apologists are always apologizing for the flaws in the iOS diarrhea. How are you going to set up & use iOS sans an Apple ID, nospam? I'm not nospam, but it's trivial. Merely don't enter the AppleID at first startup. (which, concomitantly, creates Apple's own advertiser ID) And, how do you REMOVE your account from EVERY iOS app, nospam? If you don't have an AppleID in the first place, then the alleged advertiser ID also doesn't exist. How do you download and upgrade your non-default apps? I don't have any which aren't sideloaded corporate apps. |

Hi Panthera, Rest assured I instantly understood the silly childish games you played. Rest assured that you have demonstrated that you know very little about iOS and macOS and Windows. Among the things about which you know nothing are the simple facts that users do not need to have an AppleID to use iOS or macOS devices, and users do not need to have a Microsoft ID to install Windows. I, personally, have set up numerous iOS, macOS, and Windows 10 devices, including the iPhone SE in front of me and the laptop upon which I am typing (iOS 13 and Win10 this year April/May version, respectively) without having to use AppleIDs or Microsoft IDs. Anyone who insists, in the face of my actual, personal, experience, on stating that AppleIDs or Microsoft IDs are required is simply either a liar or isn't playing with a full deck. |

Hi Ken, I will remove non-Windows related responses from this thread. o The original subject, as you noted, stands to be the topic. Together, we are more knowledgeable than we are alone. o You are correct in the original title & subject o Both of which are completely verbatim from the Oct 1st article. I'm not sure yet - what the verdict is - but you seem to be quite sure which is great - so I simply ask YOU to summarize the results for us. For example, did Microsoft even _change_ how it presented the challenges? o I don't know as I haven't done a Windows 10 install in more than a month. Is this a "more correct" summary of the topic in the subject line: For a brand new up-to-date Windows 10 Home fresh installations... 1. Is the article wrong that the account can no longer be avoided? 2. Did Microsoft _change_ the challenges (i.e., did they hide some?) 3. If so, can someone confirm the steps to _avoid_ account creation? With the answer to those key questions, the thread can likely conclude. o Please advise. All of the privacy, iOS, etc., if you want to talk about that, you should have started a new thread rather than dirty up the original subject. I use all the common consumer platforms - where - on all - I strive for privacy, including Microsoft Windows. Since privacy is near & dear to me, earlier today I opened a separate thread on just the mobile phone newsgroups, on this privacy topic. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/7X8-AxE6_1k Hence I will REMOVE the Win10 ng if I respond to that topic in this thread. o And I won't respond to known trolls such as Ken Blake & Shemp (Neither of whom has ever added any technical value to any thread, ever.) Since people like Panthera are so used to just making everything up, I don't expect to learn anything from them about privacy that I don't already know (since I have all four platforms), but you never know if there's someone ELSE on those newsgroups who knows more than I do about privacy on those platforms (almost never - but it can happen - and does - at times). Luckily, on Windows, there's almost always people (e.g., Paul) who know so much more than I do that I learn from almost every one of their posts! To sumamrize, those who install Windows 10 Home next, please let us know how to avoid falling into the trap of being forced to create a Microsoft Account, and, also, why it takes a month, reputedly, for MS to delete it if you don't want it afterward. -- Mobile phone groups NOT on this response as per Ken Springer suggestion. |
