The Fallen Apple β€” Matt Gemmell

I barely recognise the company I used to have such admiration for.

@mattgemmell Damn this was an uncomfortable read, especially for a current employee. πŸ‘€

I remember modding Windows XP to look like Mac OS X Leopard. I was glued to my Sony VAIO every Apple Keynote, wishing I could transform my shitty computer to a MacBook Pro LOL! My, how the mighty have fallen.

For once in Apple's existence though, they truly have superior hardware and that is saving them from the last great exodus; people who rely on such devices for their work.

Deeply unsettling times.

@netopwibby I know what you mean. The actual tech is incredible β€” I’m on a power-sipping M4 Max with all the upgrades, and it’s sci-fi performance. But it’s a thousand paper cuts everywhere else!
