  • The very tl;dr is that Apple has been catering to shareholders first and foremost to the point that all else suffers. To elaborate a lil more:

    The video shows an internal email from the iPhone VP of marketing that basically says they should only add features that are good enough and that what the iPhone already offers could be considered too much. “ Anything new and especially expensive needs to be a rigorously challenged before it’s allowed into the consumer phone”

    Then there’s the thing where Cook allows stock buybacks which Jobs didn’t. I am not sure what this means exactly but it plays into the broader point that Jobs was a product genius and Cook is a financial genius. (also, they spent $77 billion on stock buybacks, this will be relevant in a second).

    Lastly there is AI. Apple is lacking in AI chips so there was a request to double their amount, which would’ve cost about $10bn. But this request was denied. So they had to not just work with their own aging chips, but rent cloud computing infrastructure from Google.

    tl;dr Cook is cooked or something idk



  • Craig Robinson.

    It’s not really his acting but more the roles he played that make me dislike him.

    The worst role of his is the Pontiac Bandit. I despise that character. He shows up once every season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine just to make Jake look like an incompetent ass hat, when most of the time the show portrays Jake as very competent but aloof.
    Though this is also the best acted role of his that I’ve seen.

    Then there is Darryl from the Office. I don’t hate him as a character there, but I think he’s mostly just mediocre.

    Don’t get me started on This Is The End though, yuck.








  • NAT is like package delivery IRL. If you’re a server and send a package to a client without NAT, that’s like sending a delivery boy to deliver pizza, goes straight from source to destination.

    But with NAT it’s like ordering a package online. It first will be delivered to a distribution center, and then a delivery warehouse in your area, and then the courier delivers packages to all people on his route.

    It’s way more complex and you now have a whole bunch of points of failure.
