Did you not watch the keynote where they highlighted that Unity is a development partner?

The tone of this article feels like fear-mongering. There are bioplastics which are less harmful on the environment, are compostable and sourced from 100% renewable and sustainable sources. Some bioplastics like PLA are biocompatible; sutures and tea bags are made from it. We're still in the early stages of this technology and it seems premature to tar everything with such a broad brush.

This was happening to me on Instagram as well. Using CloudFlare WARP+ and Instagram would deactivate my account arbitrarily. Figured it out only when I turned it off and the issues went away.

This is a good argument that it isn't a monopoly.

I owned 3 Xbox 360s which all failed due to cooling issues aka Red Ring of Death. More power to Sony if it results in a more reliable system.

They're worse. Please, identify a modern car factory that builds cars in a tent.

Martin Tripp was a Tesla employee who was fired for whistleblowing. He saw that Tesla was taking short cuts to increase production at the expense of safety and leaked the info to the press. In retaliation, he had his phone and computer hacked. They even SWATted him and claimed he was going to shoot people at the factory despite having: 1) private investigators having him under surveillance even after office hours 2) knowing his location at all times through his hacked phone.

Your point is well-taken, but to put things into perspective… $136 billion is a <1% move in Apple's market cap.

The fault lies entirely on your previous company's management.

As Buffett says, "price is what you pay, value is what you get." Your ex-co failed to provide reasons why customers should pay for the value it offers.

Apple excels at this, despite naysayers saying that a premium consumer electronics is a "bad business".

Someone help me understand this. If China and India get into a conflict, doesn't that mean each side would be trying to get the other's exports banned? Which means, effectively, Foxconn is handicapping itself?

Seems like an AirTable/PowerApps competitor, but an early version which means the polish isn't there. Personally I prefer Coda.
