Right exactly what I was thinking. It’s just weird that it was worded with the vibe of:

“Apple defeated a nefarious adversary for the good of mankind. Thank you Tim Apple!”

I’m not an Apple hater, don’t get me wrong. I’m writing this from my iPhone. I guess I’m just finally starting to get a little bothered by the ring kissing stuff that has to be done to remain on the FAANG+ allow list.

I’ve started using ChatGPT to summarize the articles for me more and more lately. So this will be less and less of an issue for me once I find a way to do it more reliably.
