Okay, when exactly did we accept that the concept ’operating system’ should include things like web browsers, ads, or capturing everything I do for neural network processing?

I’d be happy if all they did was close to what I was taught on the operating systems course in the university. Provide means for input and output, handle storage, make it possible to run programs, things like that.

Everything else is somethig else than an OS. ’Revenue platform’ could be close to what it is.

Today's story: Why Your Wi-Fi Router Doubles as an Apple AirTag

Apple and the satellite-based broadband service Starlink each recently took
steps to address new research into the potential security and privacy
implications of how their services geo-locate devices. Researchers from the
University of Maryland say they relied on publicly available data from Apple
to track the location of billions of devices globally -- including non-Apple
devices like Starlink systems -- and found they could use this data to monitor
the destruction of Gaza, as well as the movements and in many cases identities
of Russian and Ukrainian troops.

My friend in the Portugal is still seeking employment, but now is unfortunately on the brink of having his family become homeless. They have been looking for work for few months now and have lost two contracts in a row that were supposed to keep them afloat.

It isn't easy time for anyone, but if you could donate even a bit to his gofundme campaign - it well help a lot:
