Weird. I’ve not yet seen this on my Teams. It would piss me off if I did, but then again Teams pisses me off all the time anyway.

Knights of the Old Republic, or KotOR 2.

I knew someone was going to say this. 😂

Yeah, folding phones are cool! They combine the use case of a small tablet and the portability of a smartphone. But that challenges Apple’s own product line. Why buy an iPad and an iPhone if buying one product solves both use cases?

But imagine if Apple had thought that way in 2007. “Why put music on the iPhone, people might not buy iPods then!”

Please don’t. The man is so cautious Apple hasn’t made a groundbreaking product in well-over a decade, except perhaps the M series processors. And I guess maybe the Apple Vision Pro, but that flopped HARD.

His absurd level of caution means Apple is nearly a decade behind its competitors in some areas. For example, Samsung has had folding phones for almost eight years, and Apple is MAYBE rolling one out this year. And according to the rumor mill it will be disappointing. They’re on the back foot, copying instead of innovating.

He’s led the company well as far as investors are concerned. Incremental changes to a working formula means they continue to print money. But the Apple of old is barely breathing.

Yeah. Apple is plenty evil but not having ads is, generally, part of their “premium feel.” There are exceptions to this, unfortunately, especially recently.

But I definitely don’t regret doing a factory reset on my LG TV and hooking up an Apple TV.

Weekends can be like bookends, where you have one on each end.

These people live in a bubble. That’s their line because they don’t see that other stuff, or when they do they see it through a very specific framing.

They were manipulated. We should be thrilled when they wake up, not berating them for not waking up sooner.
