at the end of the day Apple makes more on their PCs than anyone else (They don't ship more, but they make more money. Think about it)
Yes, that's marvelous for Apple, but it isn't marvelous for me and so guess what? Lost sale. Just the measly one lost sale (well, two, actually, because I'm not buying that stupid trash can thing either.)
Believe it or not, I don't sit around here pining for things to go better for Apple.
I do, however, think about what might improve my circumstances. Unfortunately, Apple thinks just like you do: About them. Not about the end user.
I'm with you. I just can't see a good use for Touch Bar... at least not yet. I don't look at my keyboard when I type, why would I want to start?
Not only that, but you'd have to start, inasmuch as there is zero tactile feedback, and you don't know what's up there until you look.
Funny thing... if they'd have gone with a touchscreen on the main laptop monitor, they wouldn't have needed to do this and it would have been a metric fuckton more capable and it would be where you're already, you know, actually looking (but then again, since there's nothing really good about this thing, and there are a lot of things that aren't, I guess they really needed something to confuse the potential buyers.)
Always trying to cap someone. What does your angst stem from, you spoor fellow? Lichen or not, you're looking a little green around the gills these days.
Homeless generally means both "not a landowner" and "has no money" which prevents the former even if they wanted to go there.
If you don't want to be hungry, go fishing.
Buy a license, buy a pole, collect bait somehow, weather considerations, legal locations, seasons, specific game fish, prepping, finding wood to cook with...
If you want to survive, get your ass moving instead of wasting the day pseudo-intellectualizing or lamenting about the unfairness of nature that has always existed since the beginning of time when it blew the first human village up with a volcano and the laws of the universe didn't even blink, let alone give a shit.
No, the universe doesn't, for sure. But people who are worth a shit, do give a shit.
WRT "get moving", to quote a fine summary of just one aspect of the problem, "I'm pretty sure McDonald's has an underwear inside the pants policy" (Source here at 3:31 but by all means, check out the whole performance, it's pretty much spot on from beginning to end.)
because he would have no idea personally if they are fir for the job or not.
That's a difficult deciduous to make. Best to leaf it alone, rather than root around, pining for questions that don't really need to be axed. I suggest you branch out into something else.
...and the "cloud" -- if it's in the "cloud", someone else owns it. Even when they tell you you own it.
It's not on your hardware, it's not on your software, it's not in your storage, it's not on your premises, and you have zero control over any of the actual foregoing locations / instances.
But hey, everyone, keep that cloud-ward stampede going. They love ya for it.
All they could do to stop you from doing is voiding your warranty.
Perhaps not. As I understand it, the car is connected in order to facilitate software upgrade / maintainance. So they could tell the car it couldn't drive the next time you parked it for ten minutes, for instance.
I imagine that would land them in court -- but technically speaking, they could do it.
We're going to get you new, way, way thinner voting machines with hermetically sealed cases! They'll run ALL DAY on the lithium battery (claim based on "average voter" use in our testing laboratories.) You can pick any vote you like (available from our snazzy new "vote store.") Plus, look at the courageous new cylindrical design! Cylindrical and thin! Isn't that cool?
Oh, and one more thing...
If you have trouble, you can take your issues to our "Genius Bar", where certified "vote experts" will solve all your problems; they'll even submit your vote for you!
These... these scimentizzes have krunk their own droolaid. Iz a CATALISH! Jush put that shizzle in my gazztank... I like the boss knockin' rythym m'whip getsess on the fleaway. C'mere, silly plant. I wants ya fur your car-bone see-quest-rashun habits. [Hic!]
Not just thicker -- with a REPLACEABLE battery. Production batteries start having a problem? Instead of having to recall 3 billion dollars worth of phones, you can send out new batteries made conservatively, or even with completely different tech.
Non-replaceable batteries present a much broader spectrum of risks. All the manufacturers get out of it is a bit of thin, and the hope that your phone will seem unfixable to you when the battery dies.
They're treating the consumer very poorly.
And as long as the customer base can be kept from realizing that, they'll keep almost certainly doing it, too.

And what happens when the nitrogen levels in the atmosphere are depleted by these Genetic Horrors???
The holy balance of 78.09% nitrogen, 20.95% oxygen, 0.93% argon, 0.04% carbon dioxide will be disturbed, increasing our oxygen intake, and BURNING OUT OUR CELLS AS OXIDATION RATES INCREASE!!!
OMG where's my tin-foil-hat-equipped-with-supplemental-nitrogen-tank???

You, sir or madam, are clearly guilty of unfounded optimism.
Oh, pooh.
Do you have news source, as opposed to an entertainment source?

Here you go.

Trust me, that was a tremendous guess. I know from that guess that you are the very best people, believe me. I thank you big league for your comment.

They brought news about the trash can mac "pro." What else could be done?
No standard USB ports?!?!?
Such COURAGE!
No proper tower design Mac Pro, no buy. That's one drop not in their bucket.

Perhaps there needs to be some kind of "I am kidding" tag for situations like this. Like /S... maybe I should do this:
