re: Apple Core Rot

At last—an automatic solution to overcrowded drives!

As a further market-leading bonus feature , some software is automatically killed so that it cannot create any files at all! And your USB devices might disappear too. All these things help keep file creation to a minimum—sheer genius.

Apple is on a roll!

macOS Sonoma 14.4: Reasons Not to Update

2024-03-15

iCloud Drive — Destroys Saved Versions

Users running macOS 14.4 that have "Optimize Mac Storage" enabled should be aware that they are at risk of losing all previously saved versions of a file if they opt to remove it from iCloud Drive local storage. Versions are normally created automatically when users save files using apps that work with the version system in macOS. If you have already updated, either do not save files to iCloud Drive at all, or turning off Optimize Mac Storage. To perform the latter in System Settings, click your Apple ID, select iCloud, and then toggle off the switch next to "Optimize Mac Storage."

MPG: what a clown show.

And what a blessing that Apple canceled its plans for an automobile.

MPG advises strictly avoiding as many Apple iCloud features as you can. Enable only the features you need. In no situation should you EVER consider Apple backup of any form a reliable backup.
