        I don't know about "proudly." Preferred to Apple? Sure.

            I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

              Brass

              Brash

              No, I mean brass: "figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness." (DEFINED)

              Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as "self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way"). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!

              brass: "figurative..."

              Huh, TIL. That's a very uncommon usage in my area.

                Of course he has his own phone. Let me guess, it randomly charges your account and you can’t cancel the plan?

                        On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong

                        And every slight Apple does is The Worst Ever

                        If Google does the same thing, out come the excuses. 😀

                        That may have been true a few years ago but not anymore. Google gets lots of hate on Lemmy, Reddit, and various other tech sites.

                            Only when it's accepted by the people. If law dismantled the company then it's very bad for business.

                                In other countries this would be a criminal offense. For example in Austria: if the value of the gift is above 50000€ , it's 6 months - 5 years; if over 300k€ it's 1-10 years of prison.

                                Dialing 911 and telling my local constabulary that the President is doing crimes. But then they just laugh at me and say "We're all doing crimes! It's the innocent people who get thrown in jail."

                                  Cook isn't handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it's 24 karat gold plated zinc.

                                  You might be right. Looks light indeed for true gold.

                                      Those fines are always pocket money for these companies. Until it's % of revenue based, it's destined to be a joke.

                                        All 3 of those are smaller than Apple. The only 2 companies with bigger market caps than Apple are Nvidia and Microsoft.
