  • Calls for Tim Cook's resignation over Apple Intelligence miss that he has made Apple what ...

    EdgecrusherrEdgecrusherr
    I think Cook is a good CEO, and I think he’s an operational genius. The article fails to mention how much he actually contributed to Apple when he first came on board, which I feel are even more contributions than anything. He’s done a CEO. He made Apple and incredibly tight running company regarding product inventory. 

    That being said, he’s a good enough CEO that he didn’t tank the company, and has made it more profitable, but I would argue a lot of what has happened with Apple is really just a continuation, or even writing on, what the company accomplished before Cook became CEO. The biggest growth on their bottom line is a combination of the market (that they had already established themselves in before Cook became CEO) growing in general, and their expansion in the services. 

    I think the services growth would’ve been pursued by any decent CEO, though if you’re looking at a pure company value, I don’t think Steve Jobs would’ve pursued it as heavily as Cook have done.

    Apple is slowly becoming more about the bottom line and greed, over their users and what’s right. Tim needs to home and let someone else take over.

  • Apple fixes bug that stopped utilities making bootable backups

    EdgecrusherrEdgecrusherr
    Apple has been making it harder to want to use a Mac. Bootable backups have been a great way to quickly recover from a crippling hardware or software issuer. Now we don’t reliably have that. They also a great way to test software and new OS releases against your current setup.

  • M4 Mac mini review three months later: the perfect headless Mac

    EdgecrusherrEdgecrusherr
    While there’s a lot of great things about this computer, it’s definitely not perfect. The power button is awkward (which some people care, some don’t, but so immediately disqualifies it from “perfect”). there’s growing reports of issues with the Wi-Fi when you plug into an external drive (which is a pretty big deal, and a major design flaw). Finally, I think we shouldn’t forget about the incredibly overpriced storage upgrades.

    I would give the new Mac mini a 3 out 5. To me, there’s many other Macs score higher, and we can’t let Apple off the hook on its flaws, or they’ll never fix them.
