I don't understand why someone would choose a computing device that traps them as much as apple devices do. Every time I've tried to get a file off of one, which is something so incredibly basic it should be easy to do, it's next to impossible without using their shitty iTunes software. Why can't a file system just be a file system? Why does it need to be this nonsense?

The last time I tried this I was mounting an iPod as a filesystem and everything had nonhuman read bale names and there were a bunch of weird formats.

Why on earth is apple so hostile to users?
