The MacBook Air was $3200 (which is more like $4500 in 2024 dollars) when it was announced in 2008. Early adopters pay for the future of these things and 200,000 AVPs have already been sold.

I follow Christian via iMessage, he’s home and got a lot of great feedback on the trip home to continue developing Juno (while working on his other projects).

What can he do about it? We live in a free market society. All he can do is keep talking about it and hope the people get the message. Rebellion will start at the consumer level and go up, not the other way around. Main problem is the millions of people that rely on Fox for their news.

Not sure how I feel about this, I designed a VERY similar app icon for Christian to use with Apollo. :/

I was in a serious car accident in 2008 in my BMW ($30k in car damage, $185k in medical bills) and when I got out of the car and called 911, they told me that the car had already called them and they were on the way. It’s 15 years later and most cars STILL don’t have this feature, so it’s great to have something that does. It will and has saved lives.

There is a software update in the works for this, but BMW is probably equally at fault, their wireless chargers have sucked since they introduced them. All they do is heat up the phone and they don’t actually charge them. I had one in my 2020 BMW, and didn’t bother ordering it for my 2022, and there have been complaints for years on one of the largest BMW forums, bimmerpost.

I’ve had 10 BMWs in the last 20 years and I’ve never had any issues, and I have a great service advisor.

BMWs wireless chargers are terrible. I had one in my previous one and all it did was make my iPhone hot. I didn’t order it in my current BMW. That’s pretty much the consensus on the BMW forums too.

Edit: I’m wondering if it’s the heat these things produce while charging. They’re supposedly a software fix coming, but mine gets pretty hot sometimes while I’m using it and charging at the same time .

It’s not a secret, we know who the billionaires are that are funding this madness, but the only people that could put a stop to it, are the ones benefiting from them.

Most American grocery chains are enjoying record profits, they’re complicit.
