  • False Flag: Social media erupts over Apple's predictive text Palestine blunder

    I'm tired of every slight against Israel, no matter how inadvertent or minor, immediately being seized upon by rage farmers as an example of antisemitism. Clearly the choices should include the Israeli flag, hopefully this gets fixed.

    Yes, autocorrect and its ducking "slights".

    One hour after this was posted, I tried it and no flag came up!  Apple must have fixed it, thankfully!

    Poor you. It's not universally accepted by the international community that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.  Palestine claims East Jerusalem as its capital.  

    After all the humorous and legendary fails of autocorrect that make it a cultural mark at this point, you're going to suddenly need a fainting couch over this one?

    Elon Musk announced that Tesla will be investing $10 Billion in FSD technology for this year alone. They are dead serious that this will be a solvable problem.

    Because $$$ = guarantee.   Sure, bro.

    There is a massive night and day difference between FSD from 2018 and now. He is proving everyone wrong. All the experts and every major company said that it was impossible for his approach to work, and yet the cars drive by themselves with only minor mistakes here and there. The car still doesn’t understand hand signals yet. I just got back from a 3 ½ hour trip to Indianapolis today and there was a traffic cop waving cars through a red light. That is still one of the situations that the car can’t handle yet. But for the vast majority of situations, the car does fine. I still feel that this will be a finished product by the end of 2026 and most car manufacturers will get Tesla licenses for Honda to use FSD for example and Ford to license FSD, and so on. Tesla is just too far ahead for others to catch up. 

    Oh just stop it.   He also said no way he’d settle this case. He’d see it through.  Transparency.  He had faith in Tesla and FSD.  No matter what.  

    He’s a liar. He’s a clown. No reason to trust anything.

    Is it? Is it really a bad decision to stay well clear of both sides in this screwy mess where there is ZERO chance of doing anything but alienating customers?

    I disagree with Apple Store management barring the keffileh, it long pre-dates the current conflict and is simply a cultural identifier. But actively sporting political accessories -- for any political position -- really doesn't have a place in a retail store environment IMO.
    Well Apple likes to claim it has morals.
    And it’s up to the company to decide which issues they participate in, not the staff. I’m opposed to Israel’s occupation and horrific bombing campaign and systemic numerous other war crimes, but the place to speak about this is on your own time, not the company’s. 
    Apple is happy to feature “cultural signifiers” as worn by employees in their videos and other materials when the celebrate their diversity. So their “decision to participate” here is just rank hypocrisy.
