Hey, Apple users: if you install the latest iOS, iPadOS, or macOS updates, you’ll be automatically opted into “Apple Intelligence”. If you don’t want that running on your computer, you’ll need to go into Settings to disable it.

(this is far from the most pressing thing happening today, but just a heads-up)

forcibly opting all of your users into a feature nobody was using certainly speaks volumes as to the quality of said feature

@beep Don't forget forcible _re-_opting in your users to a feature they explicitly turned off. :windows11:

@beep Haha, joke’s on them, with their premature planned obsolescence of perfectly good hardware that they won’t let upgrade to latest OSes!

@beep Though, my phone does still want to download and use a nearly 1gb update that is primarily comprised of features that won’t be enabled 🙄

@beep

Thanks to European Law (?), it says ‘Apple Intelligence is not available if “ Deutsch (Deutschland)” is set on the Mac.’ on my computer.
