My iPad 12.9 is larger and heavier than my 13.6 Macbook Air and the screen is comparable in size. Not sure I buy your small screen argument.

There's two platforms. Two. Windows and MacOS. Let's not pretend there's dozens. Why does one have to jump through hoops for two simple platforms? Just write the UI code twice. It's not rocket science really. Same goes f

The Product Manager interviews are even worse. Google was the shittiest experience I had, all the way to the silly hiring Committee. Three months of my life I'll never get back.

Thankfully I am already old so I won't live in this world you propagate. The last thing I ever want is to live life dreaming of being somewhere rather than being able to go somewhere.

How would an entertainment system, a mini-A/C in a set and a trunk motor plus some extremely low weight sensor and lights shave off 900lbs? I'm with your sentiment, but let's keep it real please.

That makes weworking and hotdesking in an office even more useless than it already is. Sitting there with your headset on, disconnected from most of the world.

Wow you must be important. Hun, I don't buy my iPhone with cash at some underground dungeon. I buy it with my credit card with my name on it at an Apple Store. They already know "who I am". And then I associate my Apple ID wi

What is with the hyperbole? "surrender your identity" "monetizing your privacy" Tell me where Apple Pay does that and how I surrendered my identity.

Same with the majority of tech companies. All you do is endless meetings, plannings, reviews and extremely little actual human brain is used for productive output.

So how come they aren't making car (EV) batteries replaceable? Ah yes. Europe still has a car industry whereas there is zero phone or computer industry left.

Bullshit. They tax anything and everything in Germany. There's taxes on insurance, taxes on tobacco, taxes on fuel... As a random example here is a tax for sparkling wines. No, not import custom fees. A tax. https://de.wikip

Exactly. The stuff gets paid from taxes anyway. Let's be honest. The 49EUR doesn't cover the cost. So why bother with the overhead in the first place? Make it free for everyone to use to hop/on/off as they please, like L

Oh how awful someone uses their life to have sex rather than sit in a dark cubicle being bored out of their mind, hoping time will pass until the next paycheck comes in. Such better way of living. I find it funny how people equate office =

The market is hedging it's bets. If Vision Pro will succeed Meta could be seen as the cheap-ass alternative. 3500USD vs 500USD is like Ferrari vs. Kia. Not everyone can afford the former. If Vision Pro doesn't succeed, the market
