The business model of having a meal order delivered to your door for money has worked for, what, 100 years?

It's just greedy investors destroying the value for the customer by tacking on all these bizarre fees. You see the same with TakeAway-Just Eat. I barely know anyone who still orders food ever since they massively jacked up prices after 2020. Before that you could order a pizza or falafel or whatever without minimum order prize, hidden increased product price, delivery fee, service fee, and idk what else.

No, they look horrific with any deep blacks? Not sure how that qualifies as "amazing".

They are amazing in terms of peak brightness. Blasting out at 1200-1600 nits makes working in direct sunlight a breeze.

It is visible even in daylight.

Yes. What I've never understood is why Apple, when they looked at it in prototype, didn't just adapt a color profile that latched black a few values higher (basically the opposite of crushing blacks). It would have meant the display would have had slightly worse blacks, but at least they would have been uniform. If Jobs had seen this display he would have thrown the device, and perhaps the designer, straight out of a window.

All the people under you not understanding that you meant AMD repackaging 2-4 year old CPU cores as """new""" by giving them a current series name and bolting some extra features on.

Linux is the opposite of fire-and-forget. Eventually a papercut always turns up that will require the terminal.

macOS also has (well, had) extreme UI stability. You could transport someone from 2003 used to Mac OS X 10.0 two decades into the future and they would be able to use macOS Ventura (and all previous versions) purely by muscle memory. Good luck doing that with Windows and Linux with their constant UI churn.

Interestingly enough, by iOS-ifying macOS, they've made it much easier to shift someone using an iPhone from Windows to macOS, because they already recognize many of the UI and UX paradigms.

Debian had some nasty bugs in Rust packages because they do modify them.

Or.. BYOK Deepseek because OpenRouter's UX is much nicer?

The Dolphin sells for about €6700-€8900 ($7500-$10.000) in China.

They see how the EU allows EU car companies to gouge their citizens and figured "eh, might as well join in on it. Pure profit."

The point is moreso that Chrome being a battery hog is a myth.

Safari is less private than Brave and does not have the breadth of extension that Chromium browsers (and Firefox) do. So again, the only reason to really choose Safari is if you're completely in the Apple ecosystem.

Siri will randomly refuse simple commands as "skip track" or "lower volume", or the classic "here are the results for 'set oven timer 35 minutes'.."

But it's not about that. They'll all improve, but since for the majority of people their entire life is in the Googlesphere, they will want to run Gemini. And the DMA will even let them on iPhones and iPads.

Not sure where this comes from.

Google is going to win the consumer AI battle and Microsoft the B2B battle.

This is purely because model cost will trend to zero whilst capability will reach an equilibrium, meaning the only moat is user lock-in.

Android owns something like 60-80% of the global market, and most people using an iPhone actually use the Gsuite (Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, etc) from day to day. The EU (and after that probably India and Japan) are going to force Apple to open up iOS to accept other assistants.

This is why WERO and the digital Euro are so crucial. Once the EU has a separate financial backbone, they can tell the US to go pound sand.
