  • Update: I’m giving up. I tried every solution I could find. Tried the LTS kernel, fucking around with dracut options. I don’t know what the issue is or how to fix it.

    I’ll be backing up my shit now and will move back to windows until I can find the brain power necessary for a reinstall.

    Don’t know yet if I’ll stick to EndeavourOS or try nix or something, EOS worked out of the box with my NVIDIA card.

    I want to thank everyone for your support. I would not have guessed for this issue to be so deep that it couldn’t be fixed, it is what it is I guess.







  • The very tl;dr is that Apple has been catering to shareholders first and foremost to the point that all else suffers. To elaborate a lil more:

    The video shows an internal email from the iPhone VP of marketing that basically says they should only add features that are good enough and that what the iPhone already offers could be considered too much. “ Anything new and especially expensive needs to be a rigorously challenged before it’s allowed into the consumer phone”

    Then there’s the thing where Cook allows stock buybacks which Jobs didn’t. I am not sure what this means exactly but it plays into the broader point that Jobs was a product genius and Cook is a financial genius. (also, they spent $77 billion on stock buybacks, this will be relevant in a second).

    Lastly there is AI. Apple is lacking in AI chips so there was a request to double their amount, which would’ve cost about $10bn. But this request was denied. So they had to not just work with their own aging chips, but rent cloud computing infrastructure from Google.

    tl;dr Cook is cooked or something idk
