When I was in college I used to get wicked hammered. My nickname was puke. I would chug a fifth of SoCo, sneak into a frat party, polish off a few people’s empties, some brewskies, some Jell-O shots, do some body shots off myself, pass out, wake up the next morning, puke, rally, more SoCo, head to class. Probably would have gotten expelled if I had let it affect my grades, but I aced all my courses. They called me Ace. It was totally awesome. Got straight B’s. They called me Buzz.

But it launched a whole genre of devices.

Why was it a disaster in hindsight? Generally curious.

Mostly, the scams - Apple was one of the first companies to be caught downgrading their hardware capabilities through software updates, all in an effort to literally force people to buy a new unnecessary product a year later.

Apple is still pulling a-hole moves, like with their chargers.

I boycott the brand personally.
