This story makes me laugh. The irony of an Apple co-founder chastising another company for updates that slowly and significantly make the experience worse everytime is too rich. I don’t have a Tesla and I’m fully bought into the Apple ecosystem and my god, the recent updates to the HomePod line and Siri have made it genuinely unusable. Not a single speaker can stay in sync for a whole song. And god forbid you want to find a photo you took on your phone now

Photos app in iOS 18 is simply atrocious. Try sharing an album with friends. So many UX issues that it could be a case study.

  I never understood why there’s such a huge disconnect between private albums and shared ones. My biggest gripe with shared ones is that they don’t provide full quality/res pics. I was going to ask why if a full quality backup is already in the cloud, but now I realize it might be because of the security architecture? Still, this should at least be an option, even if it means storing the data twice, especially since we’re paying for that storage anyway.

That being said it's funny that Wozniak left Apple before Apple era.

  Nerds are generally disconnected from consumer tech. The worst part is dweebs genuinely believing Woz was more important than Jobs…

    Woz is 100x the net positive to humanity of Jobs. Jobs collected a lot of money which just benefitted himself at the expense of everyone else. Everyone else just got handed shiny pacifiers that didn't actually enable, empower, or enrich them as well as other actual "bicycles for the mind". Dweebs do indeed believe Woz is more important than Jobs, in the same way they believe actual tools are more important than toys and pacifiers no matter how pretty they are, and don't confuse "succeeds at extracting money from everyone else" with "important".

This comment makes me laugh. When was the last time Woz worked at Apple, and what was his rate of creation while there?
