if you can put up with each update making it worse, slower, less precise user interface. There's a reason old macs run linux rather than macos or go to landfil.
For the amount charged they should be usable for 15-20 years. Enschittification is very much an apple thing. Cue outraged apple cult memebers.
I've got an iphone 6 that doesn't, along with a couple of ipads that switch on but are useless and a couple of macs that now have to run linux to be useful in any way.
I've also got an iphone 15 pro that has started on on the enschittification update path. Pauses after presses, many more typos and it's just not slick and nice like when it was new.
But sure, in my experience, apple zelaots just won't believe it happens even while observing it.
google search took over becuse all search engines sucked and theirs didn't in a few important ways. AND by default, ads over to the side, clean interface.
Now all search engines suck and google's sucks just as bad or worse than the rest.
If someone were to follow the original google playbook and make a search engine that helped people find things (eg by respecting the query syntax rather than making 'helpful' suggestions and dropping words the user included in their query) and kept the ads separate and out of the way of results. They might well make a monster. But this is old tech so nobody cares and everyone thinks google is unassailble even while nobody likes them anymore. Is there /any/ money in search? I thought so but I must be wrong for it to get this bad.
Google search still has at least one competitive advantage: their crawlers are least likely to be blocked so they have the biggest index. AFAIK reddit is indexed by google but blocks all other search crawlers.
My point is that C++ is a tarpit, famous for nerd sniping and leading otherwise intelligent people into Wild goose chases.
Have you read Alexandrescu’s “modern c++”? It’s like a piece of modern art but completely not self aware. There’s just something about C++ that lures intellectuals in; like ice age mammoths to a tar pit.
Small wonder LLMs also fall victims to C++’s deranged ways.
When people want to make the case that Silicon Valley is evil, corrupt, awful and opposed to the welfare of people so should be obliterated with prejudice: example 1 will be PayPal.
The poster child for “there Is not nearly enough regulation”
I don’t agree with that so I’ve got to work out why paypal is such a total disgrace.
