Only issue with a new Mac is making the mistake of signing into iCloud. OK, it makes setup a million times easier, but then IT DOWNLOADS ALL THE SHIT I DON'T WANT.
Like, it's a server. Don't need any of this stuff, so then I have to go round after it turning off Photos, Messages, etc etc
@Sarah Brown I don't run a server but I'm very concerned about how tech companies use my data, so to the extent that I can, I cut them out of the loop.
@Florida Ted Were it Google or similar, I would agree.
But Apple's business model with their cloud services is to sell their hardware, and to sell the service directly. I pay them for a big encrypted hard disk in the cloud, they provide.
