Most “enterprise apps” these days are web based SaaS apps. The PC games market is really not that large in the grand scheme of things and what serious game player would want to play games on laptop class hardware? Even with the iPad Pro you

When the iPhone was introduced, the worldwide penetration of cell phones was already 1 billion. Jobs said he wanted to sell 10 million or 1% of the market during the first year. The iPad and the Mac combined is 20% of Apple’s revenue. Peo

Only around 10% of Apple’s revenue is the Mac and every estimate is 70% of those are laptops. The AppleTV is far behind in market share for media center devices or whatever you call Roku, Fire sticks etc. You can already stream from your i

You really think Apple is worried about the sales of the AppleTV and Mac Mini? Two of their lowest selling devices? You can already plug an iPhone into a TV for video with a standard non proprietary HDMI to USB C cable and AirPlay is availa

So exactly how is an iPad limited for most people with iOS 26? Please don’t say because they need to run a terminal and Docker.

The new old people aren’t all of the sudden going to start watching CBS and going to Cracker Barrel.

They did need to change the demographics. It is currently overwhelmingly “a bunch of old people who are going to die soon”. The same as the CBS network.

No. In late 2022, my wife and I got rid of everything we owned that wouldn’t fit in 4 suitcases including our cars (we have since bought one new one) and sold our house and traveled around the US and Mexico. Anything our younger (adult) so

Think of the inverse, someone who doesn’t care about where they sit save money. On the other hand, I never understood this obsession with grown people acting like it’s the end of the world if they don’t sit together. My wife and I fly a lo

That seems like a Google problem because of a poor interface. Unless you want each airline to standardize their offerings. Even then their would be differences based on loyalty programs, which airline you have a credit card for etc. The l

And in that case, this was never regulated by the government. The airlines shouldn’t be responsible for how their products are presented on a random aggregator.

You don’t see a difference between that and outright bribery?

Did they say they were going to put YouTube out of business? The FCC threatened to take away ABCs broadcast license.

by scarface_74 1y ago
The federal government was literally pressuring ABC to take Kimmel off the air. Even Ted Cruz and other prominent republicans said that was a bridge too far.

No because you are perfectly technically capable of setting your own servers in a colo and distributing your video.

Well when the local media bends a knee and outright bribes the President (Paramount, Disney, Twitter, Facebook), why should we trust the domestic media?

Just a note: Overcast is written and maintained by one person - Marco Arment - including server maintenance and has been for over a decade. He also created his own non scammy ad platform that just lets companies buy banner ads based on th

That’s why my kickoff meetings always involve validating what the client wants as far as business outcomes instead of blindly trusting account executives and sales. On the other hand, part of the reason I never desired to go independent is

I am a post sales consultant. Meaning I’m the first deeply technical person that a client talks to after they sign the contract that pre-sales has worked on. Pre-sales has already had a couple of meetings by the time it gets to me. I put

The parent poster has “25 years of exp, director of engineering managerial/technical type”. He should be selling himself as a strategy person. In today’s market you have to be networking regardless especially for remote work. Even

So exactly how was a company in Seattle going to find out about me in Atlanta if not through LinkedIn to offer me a remote job paying 50% more than i was making? How were the next two companies where I worked remotely going to know anythin

If you are trying to get a job based on your resume and blindly submitting it to an ATS, you are doing it wrong. Every open req gets hundreds of applications and it’s impossible to stand out from the crowd.

100% of people I know without a LinkedIn profile are overemployed.

One of my pet peeves are people who don’t understand what I call “gravity problems”. You may not like gravity. But that doesn’t mean you jump off of a 30 story building and hope to survive. Whether I like LinkedIn or not is completely irr
