Yeah, from apple’s perspective it cheapens their brand and makes them just another commodity parts supplier. Plus, used outside of their ecosystem, the cups might not shine the way they do on their managed platform which could tarnish the image too. Plus, it kills some of the competitive edge they have on hardware if anyone could slap something together with the same chips.
I suspect keeping their chips and tech to themselves is vital to their strategy.
You mean as stand alone parts for purchase?
Because Apple does have m series chips in desktop configurations already- the Mac Studio and iMac.
You know much of the news outlet world is owned by people with affiliations with other people that are wealthy, powerful, and have political agendas they want to push on everyone right?
My thermostat has a hot and cold setting that will heat when cold and cool when hot- I can also set it to a mode based on outside temp or time of day. You might just need a smarter thermostat.
You’re thinking of people as a service rather than connecting with a person for being a person. It’s a give and take, you need to give back. Think of the situation in reverse, someone just using you for ass and pep talks.
You should be with someone because you like them and want to do things for them.
And trump won the dick sucking contest!
Good point. I believe it’s $$$ and is tough for smalls. Best of luck on your search!
I’ve worked for a small business in tech for 15 years- it’s a great company that cares for its people. I think some of what you’re describing is just the nature of larger companies. The bigger the machine, the smaller the cog.
Is this a fucking joke
DJT is the ultimate cuck- he gets off watching his country get fucked.
Nah, the armed brainwashed masses will blame the libs and brown people and continue to suck Elon and trumps knobby dicks
Oh was Elon in town? They should be careful, he might shut down their local hospital and put a high schooler in charge.
Good question, as an American, I’m all for these fucks being the first against the wall.
I love that smell. Libraries too.
I’ll reserve judgement until I have one, but here’s my $.02:
The Wii U was wildly innovative and a giant flop. In the end, it was a big clumsy prototype for the switch IMO. The switch was the perfect evolution of some of the ideas the U had, like bringing the stationary console into your hands rather than just a tiny pocket console.
The GameCube didn’t do anything really that wildly innovative after the n64, it just had discs and a more comfy controller.
The Wii was pretty fresh, but in the end, relied a bit too heavily on gimmicks, the key parts of which I think were successfully captured by future motion controllers like the joycons.
The DS was super cool, and I love mine, but most games ended up primarily using a single screen, and the other screen just kinda sat there or acted as a map. Switch has a larger touchscreen which makes up for loss of stylus in a lot of ways.
The 3DS was cool for a minute too, but the effect was eye strain inducing and had limited value IMO.
I think it’s great to come up with something totally new now and then, but changing for change’s sake probably isn’t good, and axing a form factor that has been so wildly successful sounds risky.
Nintendo has always operated on a tick-tock pattern (gameboy -> pocket -> color -> advance -> ds -> ds lite & 3ds). Plenty of evolutions between form changes.
Phones, computers, tablets, and now consoles are all reaching their inevitable optimized form- large screens with good I/O. While boring to look at, at the end of the day it’s about the experience of using the device, not how wacky the console looks/works.
I don’t doubt that Nintendo will have more wild ideas in future systems, but I personally dont want a dual screen switch with an attached printer and a VR headset- I want a bulletproof hand held that does what it does very well and provides value. The entire switch concept is so well executed and seamless- don’t take that away! Make it better- battery, heat, graphics power, ergonomics, charge speed, Bluetooth, build quality, etc. make all those things as good as they can be. The switch 2 looks like it improves on many of those things without taking anything away, so I’m pumped to get my hands on one!
I wouldn’t be shocked by this
That one was a joke
I mean, we always have in the past. Native Americans, Japanese during wwII, waco
And doubly republican.
He sounds like a real asshole
