You know the later will happen so frequently that it barely makes up benefits of the former.

Oh yeah you’re right, my bad, haha. Same, I cared so much for him that I forgot he survives Helgen smh.

Agreed, also because it doesn’t matter.

“Ralof” dies almost immediately upon meeting him so I feel like the hassle of naming him wasn’t even worth the time spent thinking about it.

I feel them giving him a name was a way to humanize him a bit and try to give him personality but there just wasn’t even time between knowing him and his death to make anyone care.

On another note, I think allowing to skip the intro and even the tutorial sections in games should become standard. Yes I’m sure studios put a lot of effort (lol) into that initial hook, but when you go through it for the third or fourth time it’s just annoying.

Apple products still have good design, especially compared to what the competition is putting out. Nobody thinks Apple is coasting or iterating aimlessly outside of niche internet groups. Apple is still making record profits and is still gaining market share.

CEOs deal with higher level stuff (the aforementioned macroeconomics). They don’t give a shit that some chronically online people complain about the design (which is not reflecting on the sales at all).

Are frameworks made in the US? Last I saw they are made in Taiwan.

In any case I’d rather fund China than the US lol are you kidding.

Sure, but then people should be honest about what they are actually saying:

“I’m glad he left because I hate what they did to my iPhone during his tenure.” Instead of “I’m glad he left, he’s been a disaster for Apple.”

One is honest and accurate, the other isn’t.

Also in what is Apple really screwing people over? The MacBook is more competitive than it’s ever been so much so that M chips continue to be the gold standard every brand aims to beat and MacBooks are more affordable than ever considering the pricing we’re seeing now. Really, all things considered, the Liquid Glass design is (maybe) a L drop in an ocean of Ws for Apple.

It’s insane how much tech fleeces Europeans, but it’s also always been like this. We don’t get the insane discounts USians get either. Never seen a Thinkpad 50% off around these parts like they do over there.

They cost an arm and a leg. We definitely need our own version of Framework home grown.

That’s says nothing about the CEOs performance. If anything it says about the design team.
