Welcome to the iPhone Enterprise, it's rugged, has lots of acronyms, is designed for fleet operations and is not designed for style. Bright orange for compliance. Not a fan.

There is no value at all in the announced Apple Intelligence roadmap. The value we should have seen is a better Siri, and a developer API, *like every other service*. Neither exist. There are no third party apps to build on and showcase Apple Intelligence, there are no third party apps that will get a massive 'free' upgrade from AI whenever Apple's second-generation model launches. And it supports a tiny fraction of Apple's supported devices in a handful of countries

Pat Gelsinger "retired"... so clearly @bcantrill and I knew what we'd talk about on Oxide and Friends last night! We discuss how Intel got here and what their future might look like... and Bryan has some tantalizing picks for their next CEO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMqrE2G3gBQ
Oxide and Friends 12/2/2024 -- Intel after Gelsinger

2023 Siri, turn on the light? Sure. 2025 Siri, Turn on the light - Off is nice? Wouldn't you like to go downstairs? I hear it's warm down there #hitchhikersguidetosiri
