Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump
-
Yes this is a bribe. Period.
Is it a bribe or ransom? Trump is extracting favors by threat.
-
I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao
Cook isn't handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it's 24 karat gold plated zinc.

On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong
Uhhhh... What. My experience has been the literal opposite. People here hate Google
And still rock an Android phone proudly

I don't use apple for the same reason I don't use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that's beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.
Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.
To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said "buh buh buh Apple!" Id be saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.
When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let's discuss Google then ok?
So if it’s only an 18k carat gift it’s just fine? Because Google are the good guys

Is the 24 karat on Aluminum?
More likely zinc or brass.

enthusiastic dick sucking noises
Like in the grapefruit technique video.

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

Simping the worlds largest ad company is weird to me
But that’s just me

I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.
You going to get the Trump phone, right!?
-
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?

Lol, thanks for the chuckle.

Lmao actually this is accurate. If I can find the article again I'll share it

Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
Lmao I hope it's fake or thinly plated gold on a lead base

And every slight Apple does is The Worst Ever
If Google does the same thing, out come the excuses.
wrote last edited by [email protected]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.
Can you imagine Apple break down in foreseeable future? Because I can not.

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.
In other countries this would be a criminal offense.
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."

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