He’s such an egomaniac that reproducing is a kink for him. Imagine being one of those kids and knowing your dad gets off at your very existence while him also caring so little about you other than your genes

I don’t often actively root for tech to fail. Even if it’s something g dumb, it can pave the road for something down the road. However, I’m here for the failure of this because it’s been so nebulous.

I don’t know how to explain it, but this kind of feels like when people were trying to make products where the main hook was blockchain and they seemed to have worked backwards from the tech to a product to the problem being the last thing considered.

As far as I can tell, the only advantage this thing has that a smarter smart watch can provide is taking photos and videos. So maybe there is something there that is worth exploring. Who knows, maybe if apple or Google released this with robust integration and a reasonable price, maybe it could have some potential to have a use case. Maybe GoPro might want to explore the form factor? All that said, none of the things that I think have potential has nothing to do with AI which is what they think is feature #1.

This guy comes across to me as someone with major new guy syndrome. Saw and heard things but lacked the technical knowledge and context to be able to actually understand what it was.

I kind of feel like starting a non profit that solely creates patents for evil ideas with no intention of ever licensing them

The company reportedly told employees they can apply for other jobs within the company, though some doubt they’re qualified for other Apple roles in the city, and most don’t plan to move.

Sounds like it’s QA people. Which sucks extra hard cause that’s a much harder field to get another job in. If they were software engineers, the world would be their oysters. I bet a lot of people will make the move and it’s quite shitty and cynical from apple to move a team that doesn’t have a lot of options.

If they tried to move an engineering team to texas, they know they’d get told to get fucked

I dunno. I kind of expected a FAANG company to hide it slightly better

Guess that wasn’t good enough

In June, the FAA announced it will require a secondary barrier between the passenger cabin and cockpit of new commercial planes that are manufactured starting in the summer of 2025.

That was at the end of the article. Not sure why but that pisses me off. Probably cause it seems purely like an act based out of fear rathe than in response to any threat/weakness

It’s also easy to forget that degradation on the highest spec cables is pretty severe. A 1m full spec thunderbolt 4 cable can be made dirt cheap but there extremely limited 3m cables to the point that $160 is reasonable despite it sounding silly

Snap-band phone plz

I don’t think I’ve transfered data to my phone via wire in the better part of a decade

Wish it supported carplay over magsafe

Been waiting a few years to replace my iPhone 12 Pro but each year has not been too compelling it’s own. I’m already 95% sure I’ll be getting whatever phone they announce this year.

Tho if they do upgrade to USB-C (which I assume they will), I might wait for some durability tests on the port to come out. I have a shit ton of lightning connectors and am used to it, so not switching isn’t much of a problem but could be worth not switching to USB-C if it’s more likely to break than the tried and true king of durability

[clarification] I’m saying the port is the king of durability, not the cable/connector/plug

I know that our incarceration facilities are inhumane but would be lying if there wasn’t a bit of ugly schadenfreude I feel knowing he’ll be in one of the most notorious places in the whole system. No kiddie gloves
