Tim was promoted to chairman of the board. Who knows what strings he’s still pulling. Either way, I am so far very unimpressed with the new CEO. And not listening to Craig Frederighi (who probably should have been made CEO) puts him on my shitlist.
Reset the TV, don’t choose Internet during setup. Connect something like an AppleTV. In Roku settings, set the TV to automatically switch to the AppleTV on power up. The remote for the AppleTV box can be used to power on/off the tv and control volume.
Looks like it’s an option you have to turn on or can turn off.
This is a good point. You lose existing users through attrition. How do you attract new subscribers to a site they cannot see?
They could leave the front top 50 posts of the day available as an attractor. With a “sign up to see more” banner at the end of the scroll. Is current leadership smart enough to do that?
I wonder how advertisers on Reddit will respond to this? It will certainly result in less ad views.
If Oracle pops, does this affect the WBD/Paramount/Skydance deal?
Tim didn’t really resign/retire. They promoted him to Chairman.

Robots can work well in warehouses. Amazon’s have been a success, for example. This just sounds like whomever WalMart hired to design this didn’t know what they were doing and Walmart got screwed. Maybe they tried to automate the wrong tasks, or leaned too heavily on the sales pitch of “AI magic” rather than understanding what they were buying.
The article also mentions Kroger’s failed dive into automation. From what I can find online, the automation worked, but it was a flop because it was expensive and underutilized — it wasn’t worth the money spent because it was focused on filling online orders that dried up.

Sounds like a class action. Some corporate buyer or school will probably sue. I predict the judgement will end up being a coupon for $100 off one of the new googlebooks.
So I looked into this and you are right and I am wrong. Deleting my previous posts since there’s more to this case than just haptics.
Rewarding a patent troll is never a good thing. It just means no one will be able to use haptic feedback without paying a toll.
One year later… “Why doesn’t anyone want to pay for our slop tv show/movie/book/song/videogame? I wonder if our company can get a bailout from the government?”
How is this good news? Haptic feedback has existed since the 1970s. This patent should be invalid.
Yet the people who support these laws are the first to scream, “corporations are people!” when it’s convenient.
It’s still code bloat. A lot of these new “features” should have been plug-ins.
They probably saw an opportunity after data centers started buying up all their Mac mini’s and Mac Studios.
Electronics recycling really needs to be more mainstream. We’re burying way too much mineral content.
It’s just Tim’s Newton. We’ll get something better in ten years, like we got the iPhone. But I don’t know that it will come from Apple unless we get someone more creative in the leadership role.
