apple is good at a lot of things but original content has never been one of them

i don’t at all understand where this meme that apple needs to have their own original content offerings is coming from. that’s nowhere close to their wheelhouse

they are doing the new ronald d moore show about the alternative history space race and I can only assume its going to be as uncontroversial as something like The Right Stuff. probably can't show any planes or rockets crashing though

one of stebes best traits was his unwillingness to pour resources into something just because everyone else was; timb is a lot more likely to chase other companies and their product lines (see also: the first apple watch, the homepod)

producing something just to fill a gap in your product portfolio and not because its a key part of your integrated long term strategy is a bad move, one that timb keeps making

lol i never thought id see somebody getting all stupid and fygm about consumer protection but here we are

yeah sure it's good for certain things but it just makes the devices more expensive when they mostly follow the bathtub curve failure rate

because the initial defects are mostly covered by the 1 year standard warranty already while the device are mostly obsolete on the other end of that scale anyway


i mean sure keep on paying that few hundred bucks extra if it makes you feel more comfortable knowing that the person who buys it from you after a year or so wont be covered by the gov mandated warranty anyway

in eu there's full warranty for 2-5 years depending on the country, what are you smoking

It's a warranty not insurance. If you break it you aren't covered so your original post doesn't make much sense.

tim thought that giving everyone the new U2 album was a fantastic idea and apple initially didn't have a way for you to delete it from you library because they didn't consider that people might not want it, of course they are going to roll out the dad rock of streaming services.

the 8 is fine and if you already have a 7 or a 8, there's no reason not to continue using it until the battery eventually dies
