itunes can do both simple and complex things. your problem is that you
can't see beyond your hatred.


And yet you are still unable to list a _single_ functionality that iTunes
provides that Windows doesn't already have without it.


been there done that. you aren't interested. you just want to hate.

In other words, you can't name a _single_ functionality of iTunes that
Windows doesn't already have.

Now nearly every one uses a router with dhcp enabled and running by
default. Why could they need zero-config? Been a long time since I have
seen someone try to connect to a printer on a LAN with just a hub via
link-local.


dhcp and zeroconf are two very, very different things.


So you are going to tell me that without zeroconf devices such as
network cannot be discovered by LAN clients?

print.


And as Mad Roger in another thread found out it is even easier in Linux.

nothing is easier on linux.

linux users thrive on doing things as complex as possible.

"You" is the generic plural in this context. IOW, "Youse Americans..."


Preach to your own country, ******. Anyhow not one word you've said

you want to trust with intimate details about yourself because they are
quite literally in the *business* of collecting and selling that

Not improved for you over the last few years? Not the best! When I
came to USA, I got a lot of good broadband. I remember a place south
of San Fran, Carmel I think, the big hotel there, incredible download
speeds. I was in small towns and some big, not like you in the bush.
Quite a few places in Australian bush are not easy either!

It is certainly true that iTunes cannot do the simplest of things
simply. It is truly thoroughly awful software! I have to use it
though, unfortunately.

Verizon talks a good game but doesn't seem to deliver.

They have only put fiber in a few cities even though they promised
county-wide in exchanged for deregulation twenty years ago. They've
raised speeds in those few cities, but haven't expanded their footprint
in almost a decade. In US corporations are "people" except in being held
to their responsibilities. Under the current situation it is not likely
to change.

there is user input, that being plugging in the printer, which is a
clear indication that the user wants to *use* it.

I don't want *my* OS to
tell *me* which things to install.


then you should disconnect from the internet, because not only is your
operating system auto-updating, but so are most apps.

It should show up on the network, but
I may not want to install it.


a printer without a driver is useless.

In the corporate environment that would be
very undesirable.


not only desirable, but that's exactly what corporate *wants*, with the
download sourced from a local server.

And as Mad Roger in another thread found out it is even easier in Linux.

you just proved it above.

your way requires far more steps than is necessary.

computers are there to do work *for* you, not the other way around.

they definitely deliver, although their customer service is crap.

Of course it doesn't, and I never claimed it did. If you saw my
comments as somehow defending Google (etc), or disagreeing with your
claim(s), I must've pushes some really sensitive buttons. Or else you
have terrible reading skills.


Or maybe you just don't have any substantive response to why you'd imply
that Americans are somehow more complicit in privacy violations by
corporations than any *other* mainstream country. For instance the
United "Kingdom" seems to practically embrace the authoritarian
spy-on-everyone state much more than the typical American. Back to the
topic you seem to desperately want to avoid: choosing to use Google's
Photo service over other services whose business models are *not*
gathering and selling your private information is choosing to give away
your privacy to the highest bidder for free. In all you've changed
nothing anyone previously said about Google. All that for nothing...
Pity.

I would say I'm sorry about that, but you know how it is, one insult
deserves another.


Like I care what some second-rate ****** thinks...
