Tim Cook has made it a point to kiss the ring privately on his own while keeping apple neutral so that money keeps flowing in.
Wonder how this is going to affect unemployment. One of the effects people don’t talk about with these programs is that appearance guidelines get rolled back also. All these people with face tattoos and piercings will also suffer from these rollbacks.
DAMNIT! MAKING ME AGREE WITH APPLE.
God damn Tim Apple
for paying orange man who wants to get rid of DEI
Yay DEI!
Tim cook, a gay man, donated a million to trump. Don't let Apple pretend they aren't playing both sides.
Really? Damn
I reckon they have to at this point. Pay your dues and get to keep your business.
But Costco loves us, right?
Welcome to Costco
They also operate a lot of sweatshops.
I’m nearly certain that ALL major tech manufacturers do. So, don’t go thinking that Samsung phone of yours is sweatshop free.
I tried to avoid that by buying fairphone, hopefully their supply chain is decent.
Who needs a phone that costs 1500 to doom scroll Lemmy anyway
Noted.
Apple may be a terrible company, but their pride logo looks so good
They've had a rainbow logo for a long time.
And personally, I hope they’ll bring it back. Along with the colorful plastic era. These days it’s all boring aluminium, but Apple used to enjoy actual colourful designs. I love the G3 iMac so much, I’ve got a framed poster of it. Can you imagine how cool an iPhone or tablet would be in these colorful plastic designs?
I loved that design as a kid and was so upset on the next release. Having fun colored desktops in elementary school then getting the flat chrome design going into middle school made me slightly sad tbh. I did hate the G3 mouse though.
I can imagine a classroom full of them would’ve looked awesome back in the day.
The G3 mouse wasn’t TOO bad, though I certainly wouldn’t enjoy using one today.
It had a really nice keyboard though. Which also had its own USB pass through port, so you could plug the mouse into that instead of the iMac itself.
Fun fact: the G3 iMac was in fact the very first computer to ship with built in USB. In fact, the standard wasn’t really finalised until after it shipped. It actually wasn’t a very popular decision to do that, since serial ports were still the standard at that time, and most people didn’t own anything with USB on it. Wild, right? The decision to put in a CD-ROM drive was equally unpopular, since many folks still used floppy disks…
Making it transparent might encourage pesky users to consider replacing a part.
The annoying thing is… they used to let you do just that! On the G3 iBook you could just lift up the keyboard and replace the RAM and AirPort card. And i’ve been fistdeep in my G3 easter egg to replace the AirPort card.
As a longtime Apple fan, it’s annoying to see what we’ve lost.
These were the coolest.
