USteve Wozniak, uMsunguli we-Apple, ivakalise ukuxhasa ilungelo labathengi lokuthatha isigqibo malunga nendawo kunye nendlela yokulungisa izixhobo zabo zekhompyutha. Ngokuka-Wozniak, u-Apple ngewayengazange abekho ukuba abathengi babengenalo ilungelo lokulungisa izixhobo zabo ngaphandle koloyiko lokuphindezela.
Abavelisi abaninzi behardware, apho iApple yaziwa kakhulu unemigaqo-nkqubo ethintela ukhetho lwabasebenzisi, nokuba yenze ukuba kungabikho ukufikelela kulwazi lobuchwephesha okanye kuthintele ukuthengiswa kwezinto ezisemthethweni ezisetyenziswayo. Yiyo loo nto ezi zinto zisenziwa kwimibutho yamalungelo abathengi.
Durante ifowuni yevidiyo kunye noLouis Rossmann, umlweli olungileyo wokulungisa, uWozniak wabuza inkampani yakhe yangaphambili vumela abanini ukuba balungise kwaye baguqule izixhobo zabo zekhompyuthaNjengakwimihla yokuqala yenkampani.
NgokukaSteve, U-Apple ngewayengazange abekho ukuba yena noSteve Jobs banqatshelwe ukubanakho ukudibanisa, ukulungisa, ukulungisa kunye nokulungisa izixhobo zekhompyutha. Ngendlela efanayo wakhumbula ukuba uninzi lwempumelelo yeApple II yayikukuyithengisa ngezikimu zoyilo. Ukususela ngelo xesha, wazibuza:
Ke kutheni ubanqanda? Kutheni uyeka indawo yokulungisa iimoto?
Yintoni ilungelo lokulungisa
Nangona iWozniak, ngenxa yembali yayo, inomdla kubasebenzisi abakwaziyo ukuguqula izixhobo zabo, eli nyathelo liluncedo nakubasebenzisi abaqhelekileyo. Ilungelo lokulungisa lithetha kungekuphela nje ukukwazi ukukhetha uchwephesha esiye kuye nezixhobo zethu kwaye sikwazi ukuthatha isigqibo xa sifuna ukusitshintsha.
Ukusuka kwindawo yokujonga izinto eziphilayo, unyaka nonyaka apho abathengi bagcina ii-smartphones zabo zinempembelelo kwindalo esinganayo nokushiya iimoto ezingama-636,000 kwigaraji.
Ilungelo lokulungisa intshukumo lifuna oko oorhulumente kwihlabathi liphela banyanzela abavelisi behardware ukuba benze iindawo zokugcina kunye nolwazi oluyimfuneko lufumaneke kubantu abanomdla ukubanakho ukwenza ngokukhululekileyo ukulungiswa kunye nokulungiswa. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku imithetho yasekhaya yahluka kakhulu.
Ukusuka eApple baphikisana (ukuza kuthi ga ngoku ngempumelelo) ukuba Abathengi banokwenzakala bezama ukulungisa izixhobo zabo, umzekelo ukugqobhoza iibhetri ze-iPhone kunye nokuvelisa "ukutsha okuzenzekelayo". Usekela-Mongameli we-Apple kwezokusiNgqongileyo, uMgaqo-nkqubo kunye namaLinge oLuntu, uLisa Jackson, uqhubele phambili, esithi ii-Apple iPhones "zinzima kakhulu" ukuba zilungiswe ngumsebenzisi.
Kuhleli ukubuza abezomthetho ukuba bakulungele na ukuphathisa ukulungiswa kwezixhobo ezintsonkothileyo kubantu abavota njengoko bevota.
Nangona kunjalo, izinto zibonakala zitshintsha. Kwelinye icala zombini I-United Kingdom kunye ne-European Union zamkele umthetho ngokuchasene nokuphelelwa lixesha efuna ukuba abavelisi besixhobo bavumele ukulungiswa kweminyaka eli-10 ukusukela kumhla wokuthengwa. Ngokwale nto, iinkampani kufuneka zisebenzise uyilo kunye neenkqubo zokuvelisa ezivumela abathengi ukuba balungise iihardware zabo ngaphandle kokonakala okanye uhlengahlengiso kwintsebenzo, ukongeza ekuququzeleleni ukufunyanwa kwezinto ezizezona zokuqala ngeendlela zokuhambisa ezisemthethweni.
EUnited States ukuza kuthi ga ngoku kulo nyakaokanye, kumazwe angama-27 kwama-50, amatyala kwiLungelo lokuHlawula aqwalaselwe. Nangona kunjalo, kwezi, ngaphezulu kwama-50% sele saliwe. NguMassachusetts kuphela owenze umthetho.
Ngokutsho uxela iBloomberg, Iinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwephesha ezinje ngeApple kunye noGoogle ziguqukele kwindawo yokubonisana ebizwa ngokuba yiTechNet othumele iileta kumalungu epalamente. Isikhundla sakhe senziwa sacaca kwingxelo esayinwe ngu-David Edmonson, usekela-mongameli wakhe:
Ukuvumela umntu wesithathu ongafakwanga ukuba afumane ulwazi oluyimfihlo lokuqonda isifo, isoftware, izixhobo kunye namacandelo kunokubeka esichengeni ukhuseleko lwezixhobo zabathengi kwaye kubeke abathengi emngciphekweni wobuqhetseba.
Nangona kunjalo, umsinga unokujika hayi kuphela ngenxa yenkxaso kaWozniak. I-Federal Trade Commission yaphikisana nengxelo kwi-Congress ukuba inkqubo ye-elektroniki yabathengi iyalonakalisa ukhuphiswano.I-AI kunye nophuhliso lwezoqoqosho kwiindawo ezinengeniso ephantsi. Ngokubhekisa ngokukodwa kubunzima bokufikelela kwizixhobo ukufikelela kwimfundo emgama, wathi:
Ubhubhane uye wandisa iziphumo zokulungiswa kwezithintelo kubathengi. Kukho ubungqina obuncinci bokuxhasa ukulungiswa kwabenzi bezithintelo zokulungiswa
