That’ll be because Intel have frankly shat the bed with laptop cpus - they just can’t make a laptop cpu with grunt that doesn’t run hot (which means needing a lot of fan and thus a lot of noise). The move to ARM should see improvement there.

The issue is that even the fan sounds questionable quality a if you know, how are cooled current MacBook models, then you know that this is not solely on Intel,....

I'm getting really tired of hearing people compare themselves to "slaves" for god forbid working 50 hours a week and making six figures. When I was working 60 hours a week working in Telecom I didn't get shit for it. Hell, If I worked 50-60 hours a week in the gaming industry or at Apple at-least I'd be happy knowing millions of people are enjoying the fruits of our collective labor.

Because they read it in a book or article that says "steve jobs bad" and so it must be true. None of them ever worked for Steve Jobs, or know him personally and if you read carefully on how they say "steve jobs bad", it was really personal preference without much to show.
I can't say Steve Jobs is truly bad or good since I do not know enough about him or Apple, but innovation is innovation, that guy makes a fledgling company into a giant force in the tech market.

there's a huge apple culture, that was his vision and that vision was what he was about way more than the tech

kinda interesting

when he was young it frustrated him that tech was just all plain boxes with bleep bloop beep boop

he wanted to revolutionize tech fashion and he done it

What stinks is he didn't need to die. He thought he could cure cancer naturally. Real shame.

I know a lot of people gave him tons of flak for his cancer decision, and it may not have been the smart or right decision. But having been in the medical line and meeting tons of cancer patients, i can tell you that there is no best decision when you faced a terminal disease, every choice has it's risk.
Chemo is not a fool proof method, a LOT of people dies from chemo. Because chemo is like nuking your body, and crossing your fingers that the most minute cancer cells (which they can't detect) doesn't return, if it returns, then you are f-up, your body is in shambles, it's free real estate for the cancers. Most of them died if this happens.

At the same time, not all cancer kills you immediately. There are people who decides to "fuck it, if I'm gonna die, might as well enjoy life more" and opt for no chemo, and and still live for 15 years later..... with the cancer still in their body. All they did was just taking supplements to keep themselves healthy.

So yeah, maybe he took the wrong decision and died, but when you are faced with the same terminal illness with tons of money yet refusing chemo, you might just understand why someone would choose that path.

Crazy fruit diets because you read a book from a 19th century quack that thought white blood cells were bad is pretty stupid.

I don’t have missing having to camp out to get the latest iPad/iphone

I don't, never liked the guy one bit.

Especially after i heard that he kinda stole ideas and stuff fron more technical people (i don't really know the complete story, i never cared enough).

 

[Revreign]

I didn't care for him when he was alive, but Apple was way better off when he was in charge. Apple has basically done nothing innovative since he died, and MacOS has continually become much worse with each release.
