I'd say Apple is a 50's CHEVROLET CORVETTE. Breaks down less than Windows and has less intrusive technology (like ads, AI, ect.)


At least historically Apple would also have to run slower, while still costing much more than Windows. If a part gave you trouble you'd be forced to buy parts from the dealership and they'd sometimes tell you that you needed a new car when the same part on Windows could be repaired or replaced cheaply by any repair shop. You'd only be able to drive the Apple car on a handful of toll roads, although they were well paved while windows cars could be driven all over the place for free, even off-road if necessary, although that often resulted in flat tires making a triple A membership necessary and leading to a common misconception that apple was immune to flats.


10 years ago I’d have agreed. Today it’s a shitty 3-series.


I think the hate for Microsoft is more based on its popularity rather than Apple being "better". Both have dubious business practices. Ads in the start menu? Apple constantly pushes iCloud and related subscriptions. Market abuse? Apple is well known to remake and then block competing apps from competitors. Stability? Everyone knows the spinning beachball of death but acts like it never happens. User unfriendly? Apple constanly modifies its hardware to hurt independent repair outlets.

I don't have that rosy 50's Chevy picture, it's more like a luxury coupe with a tighly locked hood. Sleek, desirable, you pay through the nose for every upgrade, and don't attempt to fix it yourself.


"Even the hardware that Windows ran on, when compared to the machines put out by Apple, looked like white-trash stuff, and still mostly does."

Still true 25 years later!


Perfect addition to my Darknet traphouse!


Simple solution, ditch your car.


It's very hard to be a functioning member of society in Florida without a car.

Public transit is minimal, everything is spread out, 8 months of the year are extremely hot, several months get monsoon rains.


That's a non-starter if you want to maintain any sort of upward mobility in Florida.



The binary compilation time advantage alone makes this a promising editor. All the other editors take ages even for simple builds.


I live a couple blocks down from one that was open for 40+ years. I use Amazon now for my groceries. I was gonna use Safeway but their prices are high.


I live nearish to Seattle, in Tacoma. I would be willing to setup a center.


How well does it work when trained for 100 hours on just one participant? As in a model trained from the ground up for just one person?


Currently, there are no participants in our dataset with >100hrs -- intentionally so, we've been optimizing heavily for diversity of dataset up to this point. We've explored the idea of fine tuning on a particular participant's data, and we expect that this will be pretty impactful


Got too greedy. Could have sold it for millions to a random person holding the empty bag.
