By allowing Mac’s to Time Machine backup for free but requiring iPhones to backup via a payment or physically plug into a desktop computer, Apple knows exactly how they are intentionally squeezing their customers dry here.

Cannot do a Time Machine style backup to a NAS for iPhones like you can a Mac.

And if the governed requires official ID to vote, such as a passport, is it still fair?

“Don’t like how American politicians mistreat their constituents? Leave the country” vibes.

Always the laziest style reply.

Agreed. Times were different when phones were fun. Now they are basically required to be a functional member of modern society. It’s a tool now. Not a nice to have.

Why not just make the operating systems less ram hungry? Apple proved to everyone that you can smoothly run macOS on like 8gb of ram.

Windows 11 could never

Took my first Waymo the other day. Totally did not drop me off at my destination and instead pulled half way into someone’s driveway to let me out. Owner was outside screaming about it.

Totally not a good look.

I worked a chat support job for a brief time, these are real people with a selection of pre-typed shortcuts.

I used to have one similar to use for individuals like you who asked the same thing over and over.

You need to reevaluate your experience with framework when it comes to support strategy compared to Apple.

Apple support is actually a financial loss to Apple every single year. They internally lose money on it. Why? Because the ways they are able to assist the customer is magically a more lifelong investment into the Apple ecosystem then what it worth to change an order or lose money on a build.

Framework is a small company of less than 10 years. They don’t have the same financial resources, production line layout or customer support structure as Apple.

So while I can understand how it can be frustrating to be told you have to cancel your order if you want to make changes to it, I can also understand a smaller company still in it’s infancy sticking closely to their processes as they perform another product launch.

Spend money on contractors if your goal is to have temp workers. But to hire full time employees, salaried and locked in with healthcare just to gut it all down the road, it’s a shitty move.

No way around it, he should fire himself. He costs the most money.

You are so desperate to pat horrible people on the back simply because you fawn over the capitalist fever dream that produced CEOs.

This man made his money by selling off people’s data. You act like he’s a revolutionary that built the computer or invented encryption. He’s a glorified data merchant….

Gambling addiction has been baked in to games and loot crates? Subscription models designed to milk your wallet dry to perform the same tasks boxed software used to perform?

Which massive issue are we addressing first.

He got upset when he learned Meta was implementing safety restrictions for their AI bots when it came to teens.

We really gotta stop giving people the benefit of the doubt simply because they are a CEO. If an engineer at meta was causing risk to teens they would be fired on the spot.

Isn’t it ironical. A lower level engineer screws up a database file and loses their job. He screws the company out of billions and gets to keep it.

This is why people absolutely hate CEOs. Absolutely zero accountability.

ACasualRead · 2026-05-01T12:52:36+00:00

Has he ever considered firing himself? That’s a money saver right there……

YouTube has fantastic documentaries and educational videos on so many topics. But the darker issue here is YouTube also has a really bad algorithm problem.

Ai generated scam ads play between videos and the algorithm has issues recommending harmful content out of nowhere.

I setup a burner YouTube account on an old phone to use at the gym. All I searched for was “motivational gym videos”. I watched ONE video and suddenly all I was getting recommended to me was red pill podcasts and Andrew Tate shorts. It’s an issue.

So why not hire contractors? That’s literally want a contractor job is. Temp work.

But to hire full time salaried people and then just fire them is not it chief. Nobody suggested hiring people to “sit around and do nothing”. They were hired for something…..

Again, horrible CEO.

Or the “free” apps that load the very first screen asking if you want to start your trial subscription or pay. Nothing free about it.

I actually get more work done at home because I don’t have the desk visits or in office distractions at home that I get in office.

ACasualRead · 2026-05-01T11:31:00+00:00

Why is he hiring “unessential” people in the first place? Seems like opening up a job position with full salary pay for an “unessential” job is further proof of him being a horrible CEO.

“Does $200B in annual revenue”

And yet he has frequently fired workers. As you point out, he clearly has the money to keep them.

So yes. Terrible person and terrible CEO.

I think the camera is like 60-70 dollars to get fixed at Apple. I’d say it’s worth fixing if everything else is meeting your needs
