I was a COBOL jockey on Wang VS systems in the late 80's and well into the 90's. Kinda hated it at first, but it grew on me. I'd be willing to come out of retirement for a few hundred bucks an hour.

Amazon has been degrading as an easy to use and value oriented shopping platform for years.

Fuck Apple. They could have done this YEARS ago, with E2EE baked in but their "not invented here" approach had led us to this. Just ask IBM how that idea all worked out for them.

The original iPods (iTunes get fucked, that was the beginning of the end) were good hardware hobbled by the aforementioned software. I will never spend another cent towards anything Apple, ever.

Now get off my fucking lawn.

Get her way down low

was crap from the git-go. I still have no idea why anyone uses is, never mind pay for it.

is slowly killing this company. To be fair, it's not just him - the board gives direction and his MBA brain executes. But let's not forget that other guy that gutted search in favor of ads. The enshittification of Google proceeds apace.

Since the Vision Pro was received with overwhelming returns (to the store), seems they have to tack - the spinnaker has lost the wind. Next up - smaller bezel.
