I wouldn't say it was "free lunch" but it was definitely a benefit for him. He still had costs (Apple Dev Fee, Server Costs, Server Engineer Salary, Artists costs for the various icons.)

Agree, but the parent comment was coming across as it's a "cut and run" situation. For anyone curious about what he said on trying to run everything as a paid sub quickly: > One option many have suggested is to simply incr

I mean, considering it was patented in 2004, you know one year after 802.11g came into the world...I kinda think yeah it's ok? The patent expires in less than a year for context of how old it is.

The big problem right now is Tesla (and others) can’t get the transformers they need (52+ week lead time) to install chargers. Iirc Tesla has dropped to installing something like only 50 total chargers (not sites, individual chargers) in Ma
