#62Do people still watch these live?
I find them really hard to watch. It's about 95% fluff and bullshit and 5% about the technology. I usually just read the bullet summary afterwards.

#63Interesting that they keep showing shots of the empty auditorium. You'd think they'd try to gloss over the lack of audience.
I disagree, at this point, showing that you respect social distancing and do things in a responsible way is actually something people look for.
yeah, when the Verizon dude came on they were so far apart it was like “oh okay we get it”.

#64Very impressive technology: With those 4GB per second download speeds I can use up my entire month of data in 250 milliseconds. On a more serious note: what technology advancements will there be in the next 10-20 years that actually make 5G technology useful?

#65Really hoping for an ARM macbook today
Just make sure you don't purchase a first gen unless you are a masochist.
That's probably a good idea. I do expect the battery gains as well as speeds be massive though. I suspect at least 50% longer lasting battery, and less burning of my laps

#66The League of Legends x Apple announcement is bigger than people might think. I 100 % believe that this is the start of a massive shift from pc/console to mobile which we have seen before in China. In fact, it is clear from this announcement that iPhone IS considered a console now for Riot. Huge stuff.

#67Actually, that MagSafe is really cool. The fact that you can basically stick your iPhone anywhere magnetically is awesome.

#68Earlier quoted context omitted.
When your business model revolves around marketing and aesthetics, you need to put the extra effort. You can tell Apple's target demographic isn't enterprise markets at every turn.
One could argue that a company like Stripe's target demographic is _precisely_ the enterprise markets; yet, their product pages are slick af! Smooth scrolling, animations and all that jazz. Because they're made up of folks who love JavaScript (and animations, of course) Apple's marketing team is similar. They're probably a bunch of people who _love_ making videos; probably studied film or art or spent a ton of time o…
Could this be because Stripe has to sell, essentially, to developers, not executives, unlike most B2B products? Developers love slick product pages as much as the next guy, but none of that matters if sales are made over golf sessions with executives.

#69There are two reasons I haven't switched over from Android. I wish Apple would try and fix them:
* The lack of a way to move Whatsapp messages between platforms. (They'd just need to allow Whatsapp to use Google Drive for backup on iOS)
* The lack of (physical) dual-SIM.

Tinfoil hats, cancer treatment, self driving cars or perhaps platoons for highways, smart homes that are easily hacked, wireless low powered implants that cause benign tumors that sue a tech company into bankrupty, but the shell company opens another 5g implant company.
