Zug zug

I’m convinced “zug zug” is a reference to a scene from the 1981 movie /Caveman/[1].

Semi-clickbait headline: as others have pointed out, this is just about who fabs the Apple-designed chips, not a contemplated return to x86. Still pretty interesting if true; would be cool to see Apple diversify from TSMC. I'm rooting for Intel!

At best, it’s Intel outside

The article says High Voltage Software, which is correct.

I hope someone passes this post to him.

Taking inspiration from the East India Company, Apple should colonize the UK and take over the government - the iGovernment, if you will.

Citizens will regain their right to e2ee privacy, they will not have to deal with voting for mediocre politicians to lead them. Instead, Tim Cook will be their new leader, and every morning over the mandatory installation of HomePods in each home, citizens will be greeted with an ecstatic "Good morning!" to get them energized for the day ahead.

Voting will be done via iPhones, where FaceID will verify the eligibility of the voter before the vote has been submitted.

Could be a good short story.

I’m not saying people should get jobs they are way overqualified for, but I believe there are many in these situations who choose to be unemployed rather than work in jobs that they could do in their industry.

The modern Apple feels like their hardware teams way outperforming the software teams.
mproud · 2 months ago
The hardware team has always shined, but how about one example of this:

The PowerBook from the mid 1990’s were hugely successful, especially the first ones, which were notable for what we now take for granted: pushing the keyboard back allowing space for palm rests. Wikipedia says at one time Apple had captured 40% of the laptop market. All the while the ’90s roared on, Apple was languishing, looking for a modern OS.

Wayyyyy back in the day, I got a copy of Descent.

When you’re flying that spaceship, you’re best to use the default controls — pivoting is the name of the game.

Ever since then, that’s just how I was comfortable doing things.

Why do the maps have to look bulbous horizontally?
