Apple CEO Tim Cook gives 24-karat gold gift to Donald Trump
-
Here's an idea, instead of killing thousands of CEOs why don't we just off 100 Republican Legislators? Let's compare outcomes: fuck all they're replaceable OR a legislative body that actually represents us.
You do know that they will buy more? Legislators are a dime a dozen for oligarchs.

Now that's pathetic. Whatever happened to apple? What was even the latest cool thing they did? Seems almost irrelevant now
There's nothing cool about Apple and never was. They're just really good at advertising to people who don't understand technology. You have always been able to get the same grade of technology for way cheaper by purchasing from elsewhere.
I've been an IT professional (as a job) for over 2 decades. I have had numerous jobs and worked with a lot of tech people. I have had exactly one fellow employee that liked Apple and that dude was straight out of high school and we hired him on as an intern at first and he knew basically nothing.
Apple is good at advertising and robbing people blind. That's it.

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.
It's criminal here too. But laws don't matter anymore because the "party of law and order" decided to elevate a felon rapist pedophile.

So now that apple bent the knee can people finally stop buying apple shit?
Dumb people buy Apple products, so they'll probably keep buying them, because they're dumb.

Do you think liberal is an insult? Oh, I'm so sorry that promoting human rights inconveniences you.
You're misunderstanding. I said neoliberal for a reason. I wouldn't call either party liberal, and the issue I have is labeling them as such.

His sexuality doesn't mean anything to me either, I was just pointing out the incongruity.
I figured. Sorry if I came off rude, my bad.

Ya but I am pretty sure Google has done a lot to help Trump. Any big tech company wants to be on the good side of Trump.
With the degree of information, and capacity to profile individuals at scale and model complex systems, Google likely knew Trump would be in the white house long before anyone else. They fired up the bribery train early on.
-
So if it’s only an 18k carat gift it’s just fine? Because Google are the good guys
Is the article about Google or Apple? Really easy question for you.

Gift? You mean bribe.
wrote last edited by [email protected]It is a gift. The same gift that the Noble gave to their King, so they would not get replaced or lose power. It is a Hail to the King move.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Right okay, the parties fighting for liberty, fairness, and true democracy aren't liberals they're "neoliberal". Whatever that means.

Of course he has his own phone. Let me guess, it randomly charges your account and you can’t cancel the plan?
Nah but it's total shit, IIRC it's mid-tier specs not even flagship. Idk why you'd want to put your name on a mid-tier phone...
-
Imagine prostrating yourself to Trump in this embarrassing way. Sheesh.
Assuming that’s a 5lb paper weight base, is that ~250k$ worth??

I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.
I'm going from Android to Apple soon, because I'm finally totally over all the present day Android BS. Good luck, have fun.
Word to the wise: don't buy anything less than a flagship. Older flagship if you're wanting to save some money. Samsung is best. I've played around with all kinds of mid-tier Androids & it's a frustrating experience. The phones just don't work well for long. Motorola sucks ass, don't even bother.

Bribe. The word you're looking for

The latest cool things they have done: they've stopped being whiny little bitches & made their iPhones USB-C, with pressure from the EU. They've finally adopted Google's RCS messaging protocol, which should allow Apples & Androids to play nicely together in texting.
Both of these things were massively overdue; they were being arrogant & childish for years...
Last but certainly not least: iPhones 15 & up (I think) have FREE "satellite messaging". If you're out in bufu & you've got no signal, simply put your iPhone out with a clear view of the sky...and your text messages will be relayed, received via satellite. This is a safety feature, not everyone knows it's a thing, and personally I think it's very, very cool.
T-Mobile should also team up with Starlink so all T-Mo customers should get free satellite text messaging. Should. But modern iPhones have free emergency text messaging here & now; that's worth more than any "Trust me, bro, it's totally coming".

It's what conservatives crave.

I have an android. I hate them both but at least I can install any application I want.
To any & all Android users: you should install Grayjay. But don't do it from the Play Store because that's the stupid nerfed version.

With the mid range Pixels you get a very polished and high quality Android I'd say.

When you're rich and powerful as fuck but still bend the knee to a felon rapist pedophile.
All of America's most "powerful" people are little fucking bitches. Little bitches are calling the shots and representing us to the world. Jesus Christ how pathetic is this country going to get?
Conservatives: Hold my beer.
reality is often disappointing.

And I can't even accept a gift voucher due to anti-bribery rules? Fuck off.
