Nerds looking for fodder to attack apple again. Batterygate 2 electric boogaloo.
The multi-gazillion corporation needs your protection now!🫡
I'll be the first to say that Apple should burn in a fire, and that this update fiasco is something that they should pay dearly for. However, there is also a computer literacy issue here where people think that deleting files actually removes the data from the hard drive. You need specialized tools to scrub deleted data off of a hard drive, and it can take a long time, depending on the amount of space being scrubbed.
Man, can you people stop with this BS. One thing is if the photos where recovered from the local storage using some "forensics" to retrieve files from the free sectors in the hard drive. But that's not what is going on here. These photos are comming back from iCloud after apple pinky sweared they had deleted them. The conclusion here is that apple is keeping your photos (and most likely all your data) in their cloud even after you explicitly tell them to delete them.
I can't believe people with "tech literacy" are just repeating apple's excuse like gosspel and then lecturing other people ...
Get a load of this guy
I'm sorry reality doesn't align with your bitching 😭
Well this is the technology community. Kinda obvious we're all nerds here, and care about technology 🤷 and we don't really have to look hard lol
I only use apple for free social capital lol, you have to pick some kind of company to buy your shit from so why not the one that makes you look slightly better with zero effort
What the fuck are you talking about, Emmie?
You probably wouldn’t understand so no point to repeat myself
Oh
Oh ah get fucking real
