@geerlingguy @plex @jellyfin Years ago I paid $90 and it's not even worth that. They stopped working on useful features and now focus on features they can monetize, like streaming 3rd party content.

Absolutely insane episode this week! The worldwide RAM apocalypse has finally come to Apple's doorstep... and your wallet is next!
Plus - the stocks of memory makers are absolutely INSANE - I had to see it to believe it - is it still worth investing?

"VISION PRO IS DEAD"
Hope this isn't true!
We all knew Vision Pro was a flop right from the start, just too expensive and awkward. But the hope was Apple would keep iterating until they figured out the formula.

@TimeTravel208 Would love to consider a Samsung OLED but no Dolby Vision support is a major deal breaker for me!

@GreatGoomer I love Sony picture and processing but having two back to back Master series failures killing my vibes

@erfon commenting on your Sony problem. The Sony TV division was sold to TCL earlier this year. I don’t think your warranty issue is tied to that. However I’d be leary or buying Sony in the future.

CultCast 746, out now! This week, we laugh, we cry - it's the end of the Tim Cook era at Apple.
But WAIT... John Ternus might just be the product CEO we've all been waiting for.

The trackpad on the $600 MacBook Neo is miles better than any PC laptop I’ve ever used regardless of price and it’s not even close lol

@zendodger Vision Pro. Apple silicon. Apple Watch Ultra. Best Macs ever. Best iPhones ever. Come on man!

@erfon Good riddance to the worst CEO ever.
ZERO INNOVATION.
Cook just rode the existing product wave to the beach under his mentorship.

We just might be in good hands

Incoming Apple CEO John Ternus gave commencement speech at Penn Engineering School in 2024. He does version of Steve Jobs “paint both sides of the fence even if other people don’t know” attention-to-detail story…about screws for the Cinema Dislay monitor: “Here’s my first [advice]: the care that you put into your work really matters. My first project at Apple was the Cinema Display. It was a large desktop monitor. It had a beautiful clear plastic enclosure that was held together with some screws coming in from the back. These screws were made of stainless steel, and the head of every screw was machined to have a pattern of concentric grooves that shimmered like a CD when light moved across it. I should probably say, if some of you have never seen a CD before, you can ask your parents afterward. At some point in my first year, I found myself at a supplier facility. I was far away from home, it was well past midnight. I was using a magnifying glass to count the number of grooves on the head of this screw, which, remember, lives on the back of the display. And I was arguing with the supplier because these parts had 35 grooves, they were supposed to have 25. I distinctly remember stepping back for a minute and thinking to myself, “What the hell am I doing? Is this normal?” And I thought about it, and I realized it might not be normal, but it’s right. It’s right because I’d already spent months working on that product, and if you’re going to spend that much time on something, you should put in your very best effort. Maybe a customer notices, maybe they don’t, but either way, whenever I saw one of those displays on someone’s desk, it mattered to me to know that my teammates and I had considered everything about it and done the very best job we could.” *** H/T to @kevg1412 for flagging this: aletteraday.substack.com/p/letter-327-j…
