Does come to mind how a lot of tech media was underwhelmed by the iPhone being all 'Well it doesn't do anything new' and not really getting that actually putting those things into a nice form factor and easy UI compared to everything else suddenly gave it mainstream appeal. Similar to how the iPod may have been overpriced and a walled garden by MP3 player standards of the time, but unlike most at the time it actually worked reliably and was easy to use, and tied in with a convenient way to actually buy digital music. (Breaking the RIAA's back was kind of a key thing there)

Not anymore, they just reintroduced them after being inexplicably gone for years, and now it's a flexible braided cable that detaches from the power brick so replacing it is cheap now. Had to get rid of Jony Ive too for that to come back  E: It's funny because the entire, loudly touted point of MagSafe when it was a brand-new feature was to reduce repair costs that arise from your cable not quick-detaching from the computer, i.e. making the power cord a cheap breakaway part. But then they made this cheap breakaway part an $80 unitary power brick with a rubbery cable that frayed easily and you had to buy like four of them over the computer's lifetime  It's so weird and dumb it feels like it could not have been intentionalData Graham has a new favorite as of 17:29 on Feb 28, 2022 |

I know this not because I sought it out but because they feel so strongly about it that they used a clip of them saying it on a talkshow as a youtube ad.

ishikabibble posted:There was also a lot of effort put into making things more complicated than they needed to be To throw in some OC IoSM; I think Steve Jobs suffers/is effected by the fact that he was an incredible hypeman in an industry sector that likes to pretend it doesn't have or need hypemen. So you either get the "Steve was just a hypeman and therefore useless" take, or the "Steve had to be more than a hypeman because his schtick worked on me" take.

Devs have been able to collect direct payments for ages, plenty of indie games sell on both steam and their own pages or via some bundle that give out steam keys. People that claim to own competing storefronts that still lack shopping carts or the ability to purchase multiple items at once shouldn't throw stones. Epic launcher is such a piece of garbage and if Unreal engine wasn't tied to it I'd never use it, and it's not because of some loyalty to Steam.
