Apple sells luxury products. Who cares if the polishing cloth is $19? Wait till you see how much Porsche charges.

Porsche only sells luxury products, though they've occasionally flirted with lesser machines they're above that now, and their highest end vehicles are among the very best in the world. Apple sells everything from mass market up to medium expensive, but if you want the most powerful machine in the fanciest case, Apple has absolutely nothing for you. They are not even vaguely in the running, they aren't anywhere near it, they can't even see it from where they are.

There was always zero chance of Hamas not attacking. It's all they ever think about.

Hamas didn't even exist until after decades of colonial violence. They didn't spring up out of nowhere. Don't talk about thinking until you try doing some. Or would you just bend over under the same circumstances?

You seem to think that the rich have giant piles of cash somewhere.

OK, where the fuck is the tiny car? Every time I bring this up some joker pops up to tell me that the wealthy don't have the piles of effective cash they actually do have, in unprecedented amounts, that people who can read are aware of. They then often follow it up sucking their dicks about how they deserve to run off with all the fucking money that they got through an assortment of nefarious bullshit that these cucks are in denial about.

What the fuck do you get out of bending over and spreading your asshole for the rich every time someone mentions that their hoarding is negatively affecting others? Does it make you feel warm in the tum-tum to fantasize about them noticing you? Because if they ever do, they probably won't even waste the time for a derisive snort, you shitstain of a sycophantic snotsucker.

It is in fact insane for anyone to have claimed that Apple would fail for a long time now, because they have huge stacks of cash and huge investments. Apple has more actual cash than almost anyone, they can literally pay their bills for a long time without having to do anything other than authorize payments.

Apple also has big stupid inertia like Microsoft used to have, where people just assumed competence. And they have more technical competence than Microsoft ever did, at least in their domain, and a demonstrated ability to capitalize. Now that they have their own competitive CPU (again, in their domain) they are actually a force again like they used to be.

If they ever get their CPUs to scale up to the really high end, they could genuinely dominate. That's irritating given how much they lock everything down, though.

This was a company that once charged $19 for a polishing cloth, asked $200 for a VESA mount, and sold $700 wheels for the Mac Pro. Now it's borrowing tired ideas from its competitors and launching hardware its previous leaders rejected.

Apple did not invent the wheel.

The screen itself seems fine, however the hinge is failing and puncturing the screen. But worse, this teardown shows that the hinge lets in particles like sand with no actual sealing causing immediate failure. I’m not sure how any engineers could let this happen, this looks like idiot management and AI slop replacing actual skill.

Everything is recycled periodically in tech. Broken hinges (and broken wires in hinges) on Mac laptops were a big problem 20 to 25 years ago, so that's just about right on schedule. :-)

They didn't invent the wheel, either.
