I think between my family and I, we have purchased three Apple cases over the years. All three didn’t survive their first year. Apple cases are a terrible investment. They are expensive, don’t protect your screen, and aren’t durable. They start to look like crap over time too.
The way I see it, Musk is only going to provide the investment if it fits into his investment portfolio strategy. With $2 billion, I would give $1 billion to charities, and the other $1 billion I would use to purchase as many American Southeastern coast beach houses as possible. I would sell the beach houses to climate denialists at half-off, instantly losing $500 million in the process. I’d keep the $500 million from the house sales to myself, because Musk knows that some money has to be kept to keep the lights on. The purchasers of the houses would slowly watch as their new investments into their houses literally goes into the ground (er, or oceans, as it is in this case).
I figure Musk can’t resist an offer this good. My genius then continues to go unchallenged, except for Musk, who can somehow tank investments faster than this.
It seems he is trying to get rid of his money as fast as possible. I suggest he send me $2 billion to start so I can offload it asap. I would be his most valuable liability.
OP posted on c/unpopular opinion. I think they are looking for a discussion/debate about their opinion. They can use whatever they feel like using. There is (was?) a Twitch channel that used a fish’s location in its aquarium as an input.
What inconsistency did I list?
I’m both a controller and mouse and keyboard user but I find it easier to aim with a controller. It feels natural.
This is fine. You can have a preference. The rest of your post, however, is objectively incorrect, or at best misleading.
For example, in order for me, a keyboard and mouse user, to get used to a controller, I would need to:
See how that’s basically the same arguments you are making against using a K&M?
Also, there have been FPS competitions where people with controllers go absolutely demolished by K&M players. When it comes to competitive FPS gaming, K&M has large advantages over controllers. Even some single-player console FPS games have enabled auto-aim by default, and left the setting disabled by default on PC for K&M players, because using a controller is more difficult than a K&M for FPS.
Maybe with a lot of glue?
There’s been at least a couple.
Yeah, there’s actually quite a bit of difference. The 13-inch model is using the older chassis design, older keyboard design, and still uses the touchbar. You are much better getting the 14-inch unless you don’t mind the outdated design and you are saving a significant amount of money. The screen, keyboard, and speakers are still pretty great, but it’s not the same as the 14-inch.
You know it’s all bullshit because they don’t/can’t test for alcohol dependence, which is way more devastating to a person’s productivity than cannabis.
Seconding Notion. It’s infinitely configurable, which can be a bit of a learning curve. Once you get the hang of it though, there’s nothing I can find to replace it. Literally. I have tried.
Just be the “business person” and find a dev to do the “easy” work, like every other person I’ve heard from when they present an app idea to me.

What world is it where robots do art while humans do the tedious manual labor?
A world where profits are put over people.
I know you can’t put a true price on privacy, but I can clearly state that this goes beyond reasonable pricing for me. $1800, plus $180/year in fees for bags/membership subscription. That’s a $3600 + battery and parts replacement investment over 10 years, and who’s to say the app/device firmware will be supported that whole time? The extended warranty is for two years. There doesn’t appear to be information on repairs outside of the warranty, which requires the subscription for 2 years for the extended warranty. This sounds like a disaster of a product from an ecological standpoint.
It makes all the sense in the world to move these devices to USB-C. My bet is that they still have stock/parts to clear out, and we’ll see a USB-C refresh like we did with the AirPods Pro 2. As far as the mouse design goes, they must be selling these mice like crazy to continue to sell the dumbest mouse charging design for 8 years running. Otherwise, maybe they want to completely redesign the mouse and they just aren’t ready to release it yet.
I daresay that this might be the line The Onion crosses that makes their demise, but they aren’t wrong to criticize what is happening in Gaza from what we know currently.
We’d start looking like shitty versions of Robocop.
UXD would state that this is a software design issue, and not user error. The software should be designed with crashes and “lost” user data in mind.
