      $4,000,000,000,000÷4,000,000 = $1,000,000 literally we could turn all starving people into millionaires if we could live without an iPhone. I guess technically we would have to move the people in those fields to production or logistics or whatever but since the US creates 130 billion extra meals a year I don’t actually think we would have to.

    Reminder that many companies bent the knee to the Nazis because it was financially beneficial for them at the time.

    I heard Apple products taste like boots.

      All the apple and tesla fanboys that still support then should be ashamed of themselves. By making excuses, you are enabling them to do what they do.

    Sometimes I feel we should be writing these numbers out fully. That’s something worth $4,000,000,000,000 that’s not paying anything substantial to improve your life. If they paid $400M in taxes they’d still be worth about $4T.

    Okay, now split into at least 4 different companies and compete with each other - if we want the illusion of a free market and competition to exist in the minds of those living under capitalism.

    And yet Apple TV has the worst interface of any streaming platform and that’s saying something Amazon’s is also terrible.

      I feel like Prime is way more terrible.

      Actually came across a useful thing the other day… if you go back 20-30s because you missed something (because you didn’t have CC on), when it restarts it will add captions for 20s.

      Netflix new TV UI where you can only see 4 things at once even on a big screen TV is awful. And then, those same titles keep appearing in the new rows as you scroll down, so you aren’t even seeing 4 new things with each down press, you see repeats after repeats.

      If you have Chromecast you can disable all the recommended/ads and just have the dashboard show the apps you want.
