Slop has a definition and what youâ(TM)re describing isnâ(TM)t it. Slop is low effort low quality content made in volume.

As much as I disagree, every one of those choices was done deliberately. 256GB is fine for the average consumer who uses the computer mainly for web browsing and light office work. You and I are not the target demographic. You can delete the stocks app etc.

I’ve driven a few GM rentals in recent years, and I’d almost certainly never buy one of their cars. Not just because of the design, but they are digging in on blocking CarPlay on their cars so they can sell subscriptions, and they ratted out their own customers to insurance companies.

If they changed course now, it will still be a long time before I trust them again.

What a dumb article. Quality goes up and down every year, but Apple is not making "slop." That's just a clickbait headline.

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

I missed the part that said it involved leftists, fats, or lesbians.

Yeah, let's ressurect a 30-year-old flame war!

So far as I know, the problem has not yet been detected on other planets or spaceships.

I'm guessing that Martians don't run Windows on their computing machines.

They'll probably postpone is US share prices start dropping.

No browser is going to bring back the good old days.

Yeah, like that matters.

These days it's more economical to sacrifice incels.

A brown nose?

Yeah, and Trump is promising to wrap up the war immediately after the upcoming elections.

I've always been a big fan of space exploration, but for a country that can't afford its lifestyle a moon base doesn't sound very important priority.

(Or maybe I should have said "isn't willing to pay for" its lifestyle.)

My cranky post was about a Samsung. I didn't mention the brand because I assumed their all that way.

I bought my first-ever "smart" TV this year, and the interface is horrible. The hardware is fine, but everything else is designed for people pushing stuff, rather than for a user.
