Hacker News users criticize scattered and confusing control placement

Commenters on Hacker News complained about the fragmented location of Apple Intelligence toggles across multiple menus and apps, with particular frustration about non-obvious placement in Screen Time settings meant for parental controls. Users reported difficulty discovering toggles and questioned Apple's design decisions.
“Clearly, nobody at Apple is thinking globally about this stuff. If you're not a parent, and have broader concerns about AI, you'd never even think of looking for these options where they are.”

I don't really mind the local features - I'd rather they stay disabled, but it's not the end of the world - but I really don't want…

Funny how Apple has reached the crapware maturity level that Microsoft users are quite familiar with: After first boot, go through a long list of things to deactivate so that one can experience at least some feeling of agency and privacy when using your own hardware.

It's really frustrating that there is no ability to reclaim the drive space in MacOS 27, especially on Macbooks with M1 or M2 chips that can barely use the models. Another great sign of how the OS is deeply on fire IMO.
