    > The concept of "filesystem" is an increasingly weak concept.

    Yeah because Apple has broken that idea over and over and over. The anti-unix unix.

      It's nothing to do with evil old Apple and everything to do with phones being hard to type on, and search becoming better.

        I remember it like this. Windows XP and earlier was a horrible era for stability and security and the world was overall less connected. Phones were always on and always connected. The iPhone was honestly the first stable internet device, that didn't sleep or pause, and the first internet device many people had that wasn't infected by viruses.

          Huh? Windows XP was the first NT-based release for home users. It was a milestone in stability.

            Sure, but there were also multiple points in time (even after SP2) when you had to unplug the network to install it, because in a couple minutes of being online or in a large LAN it would get infected during the setup and shutdown. You also needed all updates and a third-party firewall on a CD. Win+R shutdown /a is still in my fingertips after all these years.
