I've never used iCloud, I don't really understand #1. What if you legitimately want to remove your files just from iCloud, how do you do that then? It doesn't seem logical to me to respond to a user requesting to delete one representation of a file by deleting ALL representations of the file.
The problem with that comment is that you have to know a certain amount of what you are doing in order to realize whether you are making an assumption or not. You might say a person should know at least that much about computers before using one, but that has never been who Apple sells to. Apple is supposed to 'just work'. These people probably don't know the difference between an email attachment and a file in the finder, so now their thinking they can't delete email attachment because it will affect their hard drive. If a person asks you to delete a file, just delete that file. Don't default to a behavior that deletes *ANOTHER* file that may be the last copy of the file anywhere. That's just stupid and that is hard for inexperienced people to understand.
Oh c'mon isn't Trump adorable? I love that crazy guy. I read today that he criticized Obama's vacation spending but he has already spent a fifth of what Obama spent in 8 years. Because the place he goes is NOT Camp David where it is set up for security, and they need to close the airport and pay a full police force for crowd control. He's a peach. I wonder how much the average wage is at the resort he stays at.
But the problem is quality is an illusion. If more expensive things really had higher quality than they should at least have longer warranties. But no matter how much you pay, the manufacturer will dump you after a year. The emphasis is on buying a new product to replace the old one, not keep the old one going. Look at all the pain people feel over being *forbidden* from fixing their own devices. If manufacturers want us to buy the higher quality 'thing', then they are definitely sending the wrong message. I don't really believe they want us to buy higher quality things. I think they want to pretend we're buying high quality while selling us something that we will need to replace as soon as possible.
I'm an admin and I don't have a problem tinkering around with Linux. But when I run into this kind of crap that has to be done because company X refuses to do things in a standard way, I tend to just go back to Windows 7 for awhile and wait until the issue is taken care of in a better way by someone.
Cable providers can't really be that concerned about cord cutting either, or they would be doing something meaningful like dropping prices 30% rather than just trying to hook people into the next scam designed to look like they're going something but ultimately costing them nothing.
Sure, people will buy the cheapest thing if there is no compelling reason to buy the more expensive thing. That is how capitalism is designed. Consumers look for the best deal and corporations try to spend as much money as possible. It is up to the government to strike a balance between the two. What needs to be done is to convince people 'buying local' is a compelling reason on its own. The government has not been successful at doing that.
So how does any of this prevent an automated car from going the wrong way down a one way road, or from running red lights like the Uber cars? How does this prevent a google car from changing lanes into a bus because it was trying to drive around a sandbag in the road?
Not necessarily. If there is construction with a detour on the way to New York for one vehicle and not the other then it would be problematic if they both followed the same instructions. On your average drive even a few blocks there may be obstacles that one vehicle has to deal with but not the other.
That's the point I'm trying to get at. Don't expect me to buy a Samsung phone that I have used in the past and am familiar with, or an American phone made by 'Brand X' which may wear out in a year. Actually market a like for like product, one that is made in the US and one that is made somewhere else.
if you as the driver decide to "check out" and let the AI do the driving for you, and then you get into a car crash, you should be liable because you were not paying attention or controlling your vehicle.
Except we are talking about cars that have no controls for the person inside. All the other examples you gave offer more control to the user of said product than a fully automated car will.
I beg to differ. I have never seen any attempt to market products this way. When I go to the Apple store, they don't sell an iPhone made at Foxconn and an iPhone made in the US. It doesn't happen with any product.
So if I want the car to go to New York it will follow the same instructions as if I want to go to the grocery store down the street? That will be inconvienent.

Apparently it's a problem. Apple has an article on it on the front of their support page.
Oh I always JUST MISS THESE! The world hates me.

Good idea! Don't tell anyone about it ok?
I would think increased cord cutting as they raise prices would be an obvious sign that the strategy isn't working.
And I was thinking the plane would fly with a kite behind it, outfitted with a skeleton key in order to catch dormant "sky power".
And leave America without a president?

I think most 'cord cutters' go with one of them to say they did, and then pirate the rest.

Walmart doesn't manufacture products. Walmart can't sell you an American made version of a Samsung TV if Samsung doesn't make them!

But the car has to make a decision on where to turn based on applying your input to your current location.
if you as the driver decide to "check out" and let the AI do the driving for you, and then you get into a car crash, you should be liable because you were not paying attention or controlling your vehicle.

Selling a machine with an inherent ability to harm a person while being used properly by the owner is negligent in itself.
