I've never complimented, or defended Steve Jobs before, because he was a grade A piece of shit...but, Steve Jobs transformed technology precisely because he was a phenomenal salesman, with a great eye for technical talent.
Just because he wasn't an engineer, doesn't change the fact that he forged Apple into what it became, and that absolutely contributed to modern technology - for better, and worse.
Yes, I agree. AI is magic and everyone should submit pictures of their genitals.
Hell, I've started converting my dick pics into ASCII art and having ChatGPT diagnose me for STI's.
AI BABY WOOOOOO HOOOOO
What part of AI don't you understand?
If you can't trust AI medical startups operating out of Silicon Valley with pictures of your genitals, well...THEN WHO CAN YOU TRUST?
I mean, to be fair, it also looks like they might be partially financially backed by a foreign authoritarian regime, and they usually have pretty good AI models....so...
Honestly, you're better off getting an Nvidia Shield TV, or another premium Google certified Android TV box.
But if you're deadset against that, then get a used Chromebox off eBay for like $20-40. Just make sure whatever model you get is firmware flashable and supports user installed Linux. Search "Chromebox Linux HTPC", there's plenty of resources available.
Headline implies it's an article, it's not. It's ad copy.
This isn't an article...it's an ad, pretending to be an article so they can sell that awful jacket through their affiliate link.
....No.... you're using very specific financial crimes as a catch-all description for financial engineering.
Words have meaning. You might as well say Microsoft is a bank robber, because that's also a financial crime of sorts.
Stock market overvaluation and general economy shitfuckery doesn't make it a pyramid scheme, which is a very specific type of financial crime.
Pyramid schemes involve organizations that can only survive with a constant flow of new investors because they don't actually make any money from whatever the business is supposed to be doing i.e. selling goods and services to consumers.
Microsoft brings in significant revenue from selling it's products to end users, which means it's not a pyramid scheme.
...that's not what a Pyramid scheme is.
No, please do not start adding electrical components to furniture en mass.
If you do, I give it 1, maybe 2 generations, until furniture is partially subsidized by tech companies and it becomes niche to NOT have a "smart couch".
There's so much wrong with your understanding here...so I'll just point out that you're talking about Twitter as if it's still a public company, it's not.
Also, Twitter was never profitable, and it was likely never going to be profitable. But there's a big difference between their losses and projections before Musk, and after.
Moving goalpost?
You said he didn't contribute to technology, so I pointed out that he's responsible for Apple becoming what it became, which itself transformed technology.
Now, you're saying he shouldn't get technical credit for...making the iPhone?
Okay...I never said he should...but it you want to go down that path, he was very hands-on with in the design processes for two of their most pivotal products: the iMac and iPod.
Again, he was a grade-A douche bag, who died a fucking hilariously stupid death, but that doesn't erase, or override his impact.
