Yeah, but you still made the trillion pounds of e-waste from everything you did do, and profitted off of jony's shitty fucking life-cycle understanding of anything plastic...

Fuck Jobs worship.

He DID CREATE a ton of shit that the world doesnt need in the environment and by claiming that appl is some beacon of the most amazing design - nope. If appl was the bastion for thought on product design, I wouldnt have ~20 broken iphones, some of which went through many screens, nor would I have a fuck-ton-pil of shitty designed cables that cost $30 a piece, or a lot more of lame chinese knock-offs that they tried to block the device from recognizing, nor would there be a trillion tons of defunct plastic phone cases all over the world...

Your company is THE REASON SUICIDE NETS EXIST at foxcon

jony is a guy who literally removed any sort of lanyard hook from the phone -- when literally every phone in asia at the time of the iphone launch had one, AND there was an entire market for lanyard styles and accessories - because the lanyard "interfered with his vision" -- which CLEARLY his vision was FUCK TON of broken screens for appl profit.

If you dont know the history.... fuck that.

Should I fucking go on?

They are an environmental psychopath trying to punch you in the face with pollution and telling you to love them and give them money.

(the tech is not the question, its their response to the tech's impact (FFS I had a recalled macbook explode into fire in my bed and they refused to honor the FUCKING RECALL)



I respect your rage, but your use of f*ck too many times is actually a detriment to your arguments. I am not offended by it, I am simply suggesting that a different tone would have added to your credibility.


Every forum/thread comment is so saturated by the F word that I'm not even sure what it means anymore. I would bet that every 10th word on the Internet is the F word.


I don't worship Jobs, but I believe it is easy to criticize than to create.

Apple provides security updates far longer than Android does.

They continue to patch the first 64-bit phone and the first phone with a dedicated secure enclave: the iPhone 5s, released 9 years ago.


When some weird hate blinds your rationality and you start talking about missing lanyards on an iPhone. lol

Is that satire?


[flagged]


It is weird hate.


Everything you list are also done by any other big corp. I avoid Apple because of their walled garden at all costs, however I don't feel Apple is much worse than any other corp of similar size for the things you list.

And for Steve Jobs I always thought he is a selfish and arrogant asshole, however this might be true or not, by now I am more worried by the rich supposed philanthropists. We are maybe better off with selfish, arrogant asshole billionaires, than billionaires that try to change humanity "for the better".


Philanthropy these days is about tax haven "foundations" where you and your billionaire friends trade tax laundering "as charity" back and forth, and then appoint nepotistic kids to director roles at your foundation and pay them huge salaries.

One of the best examples of this was when Sarah Palin's teen daughter got pregnant, then got flack, so they created a "foundation" to fight teen pregnancy, and it was revealed that the Palin Daughter was being paid some ridiculous amount to be the head of the "foundation"

Anytime you hear about a billionaire's "foundation" -- think "money laundering"

The clinton Foundation (probably the most corrupt foundation known)? The Gates Foundation? The zuckerberg foundation... all of them are money laundering tax avoidance schemes. Irrespective of the small amount of "charity" they do - they money "stays in the family" as it were...


Was any of this rant typed on an Apple product? Just because a little drunk and thus quite feisty.


NO

It was not.

---

EDIT,

It as typed on an HP OMEN -- and through my 30+ years in tech I have had a lot of bad things to say about HP in the middlings -- (HP/COMPAQ had the best support mid '90s to very early 2000's (then the Carlie debacle bullshit happened) -- but the HP support right now... is stellar (at least in my experience currently).

No tech company is beyond reproach.


I love this. I am not so strong as to put my money where my morals are, so I seriously respect your position and dedication to it.


Sure that's your hardware. What's your browser?


FF on desktop, brave on mobile.


brave < chrome < webkit < typed on apple product?

...thats what i was getting at :P


It would have been a perfectly ironic rant, if only it ended with "Sent from my iPad".
