I think Tim Cook should have retired last year before he ruined his reputation.

Proton Drive is still nowhere near ready to answer their biggest customer request (per their request web portal):
A Linux Drive app.

@proton.me
(and this is why I gave up on them as a functioning suite)
Same, Steve.
Same.
They doin all this cute stuff when all their customers want is a Linux Proton Drive app.

This is appalling. I can say with certainty that Steve Jobs would be ashamed of Tim Cook at this terrible moment, one of many these days, and he has sullied the last year of his tenure and the Apple brand by his craven need to please shareholders over holding onto some basic values of decency.

Future headline:
"Can Someone Please Lend Justin Long $50. He's desperate."
Justin Long is not aging well. Neither is his decision to do ads for Microsoft.
As a big fan of these Apple commercials back in the day I find these revivals to be cringy.
No thanks.
Elon Musk might be one of the biggest disappointments of the 2020's. So much potential to do good and yet he repeatedly chooses chaotic evil.

I'm not against Apple using Gemini as the "engine" that drives Siri to do better. But Apple needs firewalls in place to be SURE user data never makes it to Google.

19 years ago, Steve Jobs announces iPhone.
"An iPod, a phone, and an internet communicator. An iPod, a phone⦠are you getting it?! These are not three separate devices- This is one device, and we are calling it iPhone."
