The connection was lost. Trying to connect again.
Honestly still can't believe that they now launched a phone with a stylus and a laptop with a touchscreen.
I miss the Steve Jobs era so much. Hopefully some day they'll find back. Maybe when the AI bubble deflates a lot of pain will eventually drive the whole tech industry to actually innovate and think about amazing products for, you know, human beings again instead of being a money extraction quasi-scam. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@thomasfuchs Funny thing though is that imo, #apple is still the best of the bunch when it comes to design and usability. (Mind you, NOT #MacOS itself...)
I too miss the days when devices were about what the user wanted to do with them...
@ftranschel @thomasfuchs I feel like a lot of Apple’s usability advantage is just a legacy of older design decisions and that newer design decisions are generally eroding that (albeit more slowly than when Ive and Dye were in charge of design).
I think the runaway success of the iPhone is largely to blame for that. When Apple wasn’t in such a dominant position, the company had to focus on good design as a point of differentiation. Now they can use walled gardens to extract large amounts of revenue, user experience be damned
@pcas @thomasfuchs Yeah, I guess I agree with that.
