    Didn’t Apple brick ipods if they had pirated audio files?

    Didn’t Microsoft push a few updates that BSOD Windows OS if you weren’t setup for their OneDrive cloud?

    Doesnt seem very made up.

      I had an ipod that was filled with “pirated” (ripped) audio files, never owned a single itunes purchased song, and have used Windows on many computers that didnt have OneDrive setup and never experienced either of those.

      Do you have some sources for those cause I’d be interested to read about them.

        I currently have a modded iPod mini with 128Gb of music, around 1Gb of which was bought from iTunes.

        It works perfectly fine. Remarkably so, in fact. Damn things 20 years old, I can plug it into my M2 Macbook and sync music like always.

          Which is why I asked you for some sources for your claims. I told you my experience and that I’d never heard of what you’re saying happened.

          So do you have any sources or did you just make it up?
