Tim is smart. This is exactly how to survive your shit president, America. Bend him over and kiss his ass, and you’ll survive.

i wonder what trump will ise that for

Or we can fight back and not lay down for the dictator as he destroys the entire country around us

Steve was a c off the old unt block but he sure would've told trump he could only have a gift with FUCKWITNET engraved all over it

I'm of the opinion that Apple hasn't produced a good consumer friendly product since like the Apple II or the original Macintosh (debatable). Hell even the Lisa.

now people will say oh the original imac, ipod, and iphone were revolutionary and sure they were but they were by no means consumer friendly. They broke, and still do, easily. constant cord replacements, and computers you can't upgrade unless you were on like a G8 or PowerMac and even then your options for upgrades were limited. Add to the fact you're primarily paying for the name Apple more than anything else.

Add to the fact anything you buy from Apple is guaranteed to be obsolete, per the company, within a year or less. hell at one point they even treated their OS post X the same way.

And they've always been like this ever since Jobs was ORIGINALLY running the show. Remember the Macintosh required a special tool just to open it up, a tool only available to certain developers on the Macintosh team. For a guy that lived his life as a hippie he sure did love tossing electronics away willy nilly.

They just made an assessment what it costs to fight vs what it costs to just kiss his ass and hope it will pass. The outcome is obvious.

He is kissing his as so gently.

Tim Apple has turned into such a disappointing bootlicker.

Such precision at such small scale.

it's fascism, all CEOs bend down.

no person with principles against fascism would never become a CEO, basic human decency is bad for the investors

an army of them is what we need.

real big yet you participate in society energy

There was once a time when a small company built out of passion could elevate a normal guy into CEO, so as recently as 30-40 years ago you could still have some decency at the top. As the barriers to entry have shot upward, today to become a C-level you get an MBA and carefully scrape out your soul as part of your "leadership" education which has nothing to do with the widgets your company will produce, and everything to do with fellating the shareholders.

It's sad because I grew up in an era when a guy could still get ahead by being sharp and having good ideas, but now it's only by Playing The Game. So those of us with morals are stuck with low earning potential because of it.

I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.

I buy pixel phones, because out of the sea of bullshit, it's at least capable of being rooted/flash to a new os.
The PinePhone sadly isn't ready.

Agree. With the extent of polarization we have there is very little that isn't political and it's depressing.

Nothing subtly though

I feel "tech" communities have always been more about smartphones and startups rather than actual tech.

Fleeing to a construction site, Gaddafi and his inner cohort hid inside drainage pipes while his bodyguards battled the rebels; in the conflict, Gaddafi suffered head injuries from a grenade blast while Jabr was killed. The Misrata militia took Gaddafi prisoner, causing serious injuries as they tried to apprehend him; the events were filmed on a mobile phone. A video appears to picture Gaddafi being poked or stabbed in the anus "with some kind of stick or knife" or possibly a bayonet. Pulled onto the front of a pick-up truck, he fell off as it drove away. His semi-naked body was then placed into an ambulance and taken to Misrata; upon arrival, he was found to be dead. Official NTC accounts claimed that Gaddafi was caught in a crossfire and died from bullet wounds. Other eye-witness accounts claimed that rebels had fatally shot Gaddafi in the stomach.

I've seen the video. Its Brutal. A perfect and fitting end for a guy like trump.

ish. but if there are shareholders, the CEO is replaceable. and principles aren't good for immediate profits.
