Very nice. Macs have a new containers program. It’s open source on github but not ready for the current MacOS version. Might be an even better approach as it’s made by Apple.
I followed his posts internally before he left. He was strict about resource waste. Hand tracking would break constantly and he brought metrics to his posts. His whole point was that Apple has hardware nailed down and it’ll be efficient software that will be the differentiator. The bloat at Meta was the result of empire building.
The article specifies that messages older than 2014 were deleted. I read once (can't find the resource now) that Microsoft deletes all chat and email messages older than a certain date.
I think the reason is legal. If ever subpoenaed, providing too much chat info could be potentially damaging. I feel like the insinuation is that something specifically nefarious is going on. They can delete private messages in their own chat program for their executives as much as they want to. I also don't understand why this is considered bad behavior or why people somehow think something nefarious had to occur for them to want to do so. It may just be standard practice at many giant corporations.
