How far they've fallen, all due to a single acquisition.
For those unaware, the saying used to be "If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going". The reason for this was because Boeing had a well deserved reputation for quality, reliability, and overengineering. It was a company run by engineers. Another company named McDonnell Douglas, with the polar opposite reputation, went or was about to go bankrupt. It was a company run by salesmen. Boeing decided to buy McDonnell Douglas but instead of firing the entirety of MD's executive branch, they decided to absorb them. In short order the MD virus that was their sales first executive team spread and eventually took over Boeing.
This is as I remember it so if I got something wrong, please correct me.
I dunno. I have mixture of Windows, Linux and Mac, and the M chip macs are a fucking beast. Stable, stupid fast, silent, and cool (as in temperature).
I am transitioning all remaining Windows workstations to Proxmox VE based VDIs, but for the people that need a total solution on the road and offline, the mac is hard to beat. Win11 ARM as a VM on Apple silicone runs faster, with less power draw and with significantly less heat than the original installnon raw metal. I'm not sure what dev tools your shop is using for the Macs, but we have had no issues.
Old PCs with Linux, Openclaw, and a handful of LLM models installed, configured by ChatGPT, can be up and running in less than an hour. Once running, people can have them do all sorts of tasks.
The myth of Steve Jobs needed the actual genius of others to exist. Steve's gift to the world was recognizing and pointing out actual gifts tonthe world that would have otherwise gone unoticed or not brought to their full potential.
If Steve was still around, he would have taken Ronald's idea and had it rebuilt with a little polish and an exorbitant price tag.
I opted to watch the 70mm version because it is the one experience you cannot get at home. I recommend doing so.
PS: Literally nobody is talking about it but John Leguizamo deserves praise. He had a major role and I didn't even know he was in the movie until he showed up.
