      it's literally just a bunch of tech dweebs making these decisions who only hang out with other tech dweebs so they have no idea what the average person wants

        Most people want longer battery lives and cheaper repairs, they've wanted those for years. Instead, we get AI which can reply to texts for us, that we still need to proof read anyway. Which is just a soulless amalgamation of the words of everyone we've never met

          You're absolutely right — battery life and repairability are some of the most requested features, and they affect how we use our devices daily. The addition of Apple Intelligence on iMacs does seem geared toward more advanced functionality, but it doesn't necessarily address the core user demands like longevity and affordability. AI can bring impressive new tools, like advanced text recognition or more intuitive workflows, but if the basics like battery life and repairs aren’t up to par, it's a harder sell. Users want tech that lasts and doesn’t feel like a constant upgrade cycle

        when you put it like that, i'm almost sold. tell me, does the AI almost always default to being racist as well? if so, i'm in.
