Non technical people would just leave it plugged in and forget the problem existed

Man, I’m not gonna start a platform war but my work laptop (some trashy HP thing) is so much worse. It could be due to the gobs of “Hyper-Endpoint Double-Kill Anti-Virus Defender Enterprise Edition” garbage they installed on it. That thing can’t even make it a full day with the lid closed before running out of battery.

Back in my day they had a physical power switch that killed the mains to the power supply. Why we even had to format our 40mb hard drive and reimagine the box once a week, both way… in the snow! And we liked it that way! Kids these days!

What if, hear me out, that’s kind of the goal? It’s not the only trap in the Apple ecosystem that degrades your experience over time. I’m convinced that the main purpose of Podcasts app is to eat up storage.
