Trump is not a powerful wizard, all his power comes from people who give it to them. Those people have a choice, and this is it.

For most people Apple products are absolutely consumer friendly, what are you talking about? They’re amazingly simple to setup and go, the ecosystem actually works well, and they’re far more reliable than anything Microsoft could dream of putting out. They also don’t go obsolete within in a year, that’s total nonsense, and in fact they have generally had better support than their main competitors as far as I’ve seen. People I know have kept their Apple machines for a very long time without much issue. I myself had my first MacBook for ~11 years, from 2010 to 2021.

For people who to tinker with software there’s still a lot you can do on them but back in the Windows vs. Mac days some ill-informed people decided that because Apple products work well they must be hard to code on, despite the Unix based nature of them. Currently, many people I know in software are issued MacBooks and say they work very well while the Windows machine I got for something as simple as AutoCAD was constantly having issues.

Their consumer unfriendly tactics aren’t directly to connected to the capability of the machines. They 100% do some bad shit on that front, but it’s not enough to push most regular customers away. If you can’t figure out the difference between yourself and a regular customer then this isn’t a conversation you clearly have all the information for. Most of what you’re saying is just the usual parroted garbage that muddies the conversation and frankly makes it harder to deal with the companies actual failings because it just shows a grotesque inability to understand why people like their products.

I will be very clear: This overt move beyond the usual corpo nightmare has soured me a lot on their products, which sucks because they are objectively very good. I also don’t entirely know what to do about it as making a switch to Google products is just as bad a move. I’ve heard of a couple alternatives, we’ll see what the landscape will look like in a couple years when I need a phone and several years after that when a new laptop is required.

This is capitalism. In that system the money is the important part and so how you get it mostly doesn’t matter. Corruption is part of it, and they use the money to make sure the laws that would punish them don’t exist.

No, they’re all super special and have an “instinct” that a robot could never have. Of course the same does not go for artists or anyone who does the actual work for these “titans of industry”.

*by “instinct” we, of course, mean survivorship bias based on what is essentially gambling, exploitation, and being too big to fail.

Later in the article it says that Tiktok has complied with 94% of the Israeli government takedown requests and it’s also been blocking pro-Palestine content. So it’s not even a slight reach to assume that they’re gunna hire someone with similar views.

They still would, it just wouldn’t have their name on it.

And if you step on the flower you DIE.

It’s weird spunding, but they mean copyright fines.

Yea, and an Xbox elite controller these days is $250 compared to the $30-90USD of the 8BitDo options. Absolutely wild.

Should look into something like an 8BitDo controller. Not shitty quality, cheaper, and you can clean it just fine. It even has more features.

Jeep parent company Stellantis has acknowledged the issue. MSN reports, “They attributed the persistent nature of the ad to a temporary software glitch that affected the opt-out functionality in certain cases. The company assured that the glitch had been identified and corrected, and they are reaching out to affected customers to resolve the matter.”

Ya know, software can’t just make shit up. If there’s no ad to begin with it can’t suddenly create one and display it. Hey Stellantis, why the fuck are the any sort of ads at all loaded into the infotainment system?

There are a couple. The basic idea is that burnout is significantly reduced, people have recovery times, less animosity towards management, just all kinds of benefits. We have the technology be so much more efficient in basically any industry and so we don’t need to be there that long even if we could handle it just fine. I could find a way to do my work twice as fast and I’d still be punished for showing up 15min later and you bet that annihilates my desire to do anything more than the bare minimum.

And, importantly, pay does not change. This isn’t a trade-off, it’s a win-win, so if they ever try to say “ok we just won’t pay you for that day” you can say “so I’ll be more productive and paid less? How does that make sense?”

It’s not just a lack of empathy for the sake of profits, either. We know for a fact that raising hours right now would lead to poorer quality of work and that lowering hours would lead to higher productivity and quality.

They’re just stupid and cruel, that’s all.

I love that. “This could help women” “OH MY GOD IT’S WOKE!!! Women?! Not in MY America!”

They just filtered for a the words women and minorities and then pulled funding. That’s insane. God, conservative stupidity is so fucking exhausting.

“Nvidia makes better stuff” yea but AMD doesn’t risk burning my fucking house down.

Why are these people always so leaky. They just can’t seem to get basic aspects of their jobs even remotely right, even when I’m sure they were told(and if they weren’t, wtf).

True enough, though I’d still rather not send a potential hit-squad over it. The chance of that is low but nowhere near low enough. Just glad to live in an at least passably civilized country where I don’t need to worry about that as bad.

And remember, kids, even if it was the right guy why the fuck were they ok with killing a guy over a fucking weed-wacker? Also why do they need to raid someone’s home over a not even that expensive bit of gardening equipment? Like yea I’d like my shit back too but if I was in the states I’d call insurance about it and get a new one long before I essentially ask the cops to go kill some dude over it.

17min really isn’t that much time and not every minute needs to be fully optimized. I mean, you found the time to bitch about a YouTuber not making an article which is far less time but infinitely more worthless.

And yes, I do I hope I find a job soon. It’s rough out there.

If you really want someone to make it easy for you, basically Lyu has made some absolutely bonkers promises under the old company name from making a carbon negative crypto-currency attached to real-world solar grids using NFTs as a sort of stock option all the way to promising that they’d invent an AI powered digital universe that would be so advanced that it would basically mirror real life. He said all that and declared not only a roughly two year timeline but also that ten years wouldn’t be necessary.

And yet now he and his company can’t even produce this Rabbit thing in a way that can even barely function. Once again, tech bros are showing just how much “idea people” are kinda worthless when they have zero concept of how to execute literally anything with any depth. Venture Capitalists are also once again proving how stupid they are for believing this crap again.

I’m not sure why the length of the video is upsetting you so much. I hope you find more time in your life for suboptimal things. Maybe you should by a vibrator and experience some pleasure.

The video’s not that long and the thumbnail is fine, dude. The content is clear and uses Jesse Lyu’s own words, his own voice even, to spotlight how stupid this whole thing is.

You mad your Rabbit purchase turned out to be shit or something? What’s your angle here?
