The Sauce is strong with this one.

Didn't mean to imply you were suggesting to trust them and I agree, the claim is impressive.

But if I understand correctly, researchers can't research the closed off code, only what has been disclosed? So could there be hidden back doors?

Also, if we assume Apple's claims are true, Apple still owns users data doesn't it? And so users could have their accounts closed. Great punishment to hold over the heads of users, especially at the behest of a government. Users comply otherwise loose a lifetime of data? Moreover, as people become addicted to AI, the thought of living without it would become unbearable and so, induce compliance to whatever dictate of the day.

In the end, Corp remain in control of its users.

Moreover, you have to have a sense of shame before you can feel embarrassed. The majority of scientists and doctors have made some pretty outrageous claims in recent years, and majority of media outlets have not shamed any of them. And if it was all a lie, 99% of users wouldn't care anyway.

Seems like Apple's going to be the most secure system on the planet, much more secure than open source software on corporate hardware, but for whom?

Apple and its state intelligence customers of course. Not its users.

Corps/govs are not lying when they say, 'We take your privacy very seriously'.

What they mean is, 'We take all your private data. Seriously'.

Seems like there's a lot of evidence to suggest it's better to loose one's character than to build one's character.

Loosing one's character unlocks infinite possibilities. Building one's character constricts possibilities in the delusion that one's character is oneself.

Yes. Go for it! Ubuntu LTS (long term support) is nice if you want something a bit different than Windows. As others have said you can burn a live usb and just boot/run the laptop from it to test if you like it before installing. It won't wipe your existing system. If your laptop is old it will run much faster with linux.

Evert day. Every day.

Oh right! That dude out the back is curling some pretty heavy weight. Right on!
