I bet it was the same person who came up with the name of the workplace on Archer.
Pissed off some ancient Greek God and is now cursed to come up with amazing names and slogans that will become touch of death within months. Doomed to roam the earth from marketing group to marketing group. When he dies his tombstone will read “here lies the man who named it The Dangerous Life of Altarboys”
It’s funny this is on “Technology” topic and not just on “World news” or like that, like if this blog was related to tech… it’s like a clickbait deserved to be filtered, bad quality post from bbc.co.uk… not saying anything interesting unless “he’s on hospital”
Ah, I never heard about him, right now Apple makes pretty bad computers unless for their ARM CPUs that are more or less efficient, but that will end soon. They just messed up with arch CPUs, making things harder for developers.
this belongs here just fine
Nope, he is just one guy more working on tech, he’s just richer than his employees, that’s why he is here.
From the beginning? Why you don’t tell me exactly what am I wrong, instead to tell me to read everything from the first computer made? I might be wrong, so tell me.
EDIT: I mean, I feel like he just started with microprocessors, but that’s all. I can’t read anything else he did for us, and if he wouldn’t do it, any other would do it. And as I said, Apple was good when it started, but RIGHT NOW sucks in many ways. So he wasn’t that brilliant if he can’t even make Apple a good tech company. They are just marketing. Apple right now: redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=0PK9RzSl9O0&lis… maybe that’s why he’s on Hospital, after reading the Apple employees saying 8GB RAM on M3 is like 16GB on Windows/Linux.
This guy was a legend. Steve Jobs took credit for everything but Wozniak was the brains.
Wozniak is a much, much better person than Steve Jobs was also. However, thanks to Steve Jobs, we got macbooks. Wozniak would not have put such polish on the products as Steve did, or market it the same magical way. Steve was great at marketing, but he didn’t have the tech skills Wozniak had.
But that’s just marketing… I wouldn’t say “This guy was a legend”, he just did a company and paid employees. He could have good ideas, but many of Apple features are startups bought and stolen, like SIRI.
On Thursday, journalist Riham Alkousaa was on a hiking holiday, walking with a group through the mountainous wooded region of Saxon Switzerland, in the eastern German state of Saxony.
A dumb American is about to ask a question about the geography of Europe. Why is there a region of Germany called Saxon Switzerland? Is that the name of the state or province?
The state is Saxony and Saxon Switzerland is a national park within Saxony. It’s a mountainous region that continues across the Czech border, where it is called Bohemian Switzerland.
I guess the logic behind the name is not much deeper than “it looks like Switzerland”.
The German translation of “Switzerland” is “Schweiz”, which is a word like “meadow”. It just describes a particular region, which often happens to be mountainous and with lots of forests, like the actual nation also happens to be.
Maybe I’m just a silly American, but what kind of weirdo reports foreigners to police for being suspected migrants? Best case scenario ends like this where you end up looking like a racist dick. Like, I understand reporting actual crime to police, but the likelihood that you’ve run across nefarious immigrants out to cause harm is really low compared to the likelihood that they’re legal citizens or tourists. And even in the off chance that they are illegal migrants, existing shouldn’t be a crime, it’s none of your business, shut your mouth and leave them alone.
Just like people rewrite the phrase as “Merry Xmas” or non-christ substitutes like cats in “Merry Kitmas”, they were trying to make a ham-holiday. A Mass made of Ham. A Ham Mass/feast. Sadly, there is a war on so anything close to ‘Hamas’ is no longer suitable for mass-market humor. “Merry Kitmas”“Sez you”
My friends had a CI wear a wire for a fucking weed sale, but they were watching Archer at the time he was there to pick up. Led to some hilarious questions from idiot cops.
On Thursday, journalist Riham Alkousaa was on a hiking holiday, walking with a group through the mountainous wooded region of Saxon Switzerland, in the eastern German state of Saxony.
But Ms Alkousaa was out walking with a registered German hiking club whose members are mostly Syrians living in Germany.
Its spectacular mountainous terrain is portrayed in the works of 18th and 19th century Romantic painters, such as Caspar David Friedrich.
In polls the AfD is either the most popular party, with around a third of the votes, or neck-and-neck with the incumbent conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
As a result, chancellor Olaf Scholz’s left-leaning coalition has introduced spot checks on eastern borders with Poland and Czechia, where some migrants cross into Germany.
But critics suspect that when they are faced with the rise of the AfD, the move is more about cosmetic political action in the run-up to key elections across eastern Germany next year.

(edit)
Jokes aside, it also took me forever, and I went through the exact same list of who might be offended. Who reads “Ham-mas” on a christmas bag and even when saying it out loud associates it with Hamas? I mean it’s not like anybody still associates Christmas with Christ, so who cares what the first part is. Give me Crisp-mas with lots of crackers!
Not entirely true. Go eat a ham sandwich outside a Hasidic synagogue when they’re being let out of temple; probably gonna cause a stir. Especially if said temple is in Israel proper.
Granted, I’d find it hard to believe such a sandwich eater wasn’t trying to stir shit, so maybe getting yelled at is justified….but you see my point, i hope
Adding context that makes it an obvious attempt to insulting does not contradict the statement that they don't care about others eating ham. They care about the obvious intent to be offensive.
Keep in mind that if someone was eating a sandwich it would be hard for them to even know if it was ham without the person making a scene about it.
