Cute but a little underwhelming. No fake specs sheet? No list of fake features, accessories? No unique lore added? Just a photo of the terminal... Hmm. Ok then.
Honestly? Apple continues to present itself as an innovative device manufacturer. And not as a funny media company.
I’m sure someone has uploaded the designs for a 3D printed version of this. Though I’d be all over an Apple designed trackball. With all the haptic stuff they’ve done you can’t tell me the couldn’t do a solid hemisphere that feels like it is rolling and has all kinds of multi-touch features.I feel like we're maybe 3 months away from seeing a Kickstarter for a mechanical keyboard+trackpad+housing combo that you drop a Mac Mini into to simulate this Lumon terminal.
The only part anyone cares anything about. I truly hope they are pushing the envelope and we get an AI agent model that lives entirely on device, but can share context between all your Apple Devices.Apple Intelligence has shipped several parts; the only thing that hasn't shipped is the personal context Siri.
Tastes vary. I was hooked on Severance from the first minute, while I found the first episode of Silo downright painful to watch - horrible acting. So I stopped watching. Will it pick up?This show has really grown on me. Maybe not as good as the very excellent Silo, or the very excellent Foundation. But definitely the kind of thing I hope they keep producing. Season finale was superb.
Not sure, I use the writing tools every day.....

You forgot to mention the Powerbook G5 alongside AirPower. In reality Apple now uses magnets for charging alignment so why would they still release a place-anywhere charging pad.And distract everyone from vaporware like Apple Intelligence, CarPlay 2, and AirPower.
"MY INNIE WANTS OUT!" in the style of the old Alien t-shirts with the alien bursting through.🤣Apple really has to find a non-compromising way to sell, at minimum, some t-shirts or something for this show and others.
It depends on where you live, nothing has shipped here, yet. The first drop of Apple Intelligence features is supposed to come with 18.4...Apple Intelligence has shipped several parts; the only thing that hasn't shipped is the personal context Siri.
They give away Apple TV+ for free for 3-6 months and more when you buy one of their devices, so pretty sure it is subsidizing any losses. Also considering that Apple seems very happy about their content services it is reasonable to assume it is an overall income.I guess when the Apple TV+ service is losing $1 billion per year you need to resort to cheap gimmicks to promote the shows whenever and wherever you can.
You sound like the kind of person who hated the Fallout promotional stuff like Pipboy simulators. The inability to appreciate fun things is why most of Apple's stuff comes in silver, black, and dull muted colors.I guess when the Apple TV+ service is losing $1 billion per year you need to resort to cheap gimmicks to promote the shows whenever and wherever you can.
An entire episode dedicated to Cobel finding an old notebook? That episode had so much potential but it ended up being a huge waste of time. For anyone who has not seen S2 yet, you can skip episode 8 and you will not have missed a single plot point.Not sure what you’re talking about. Season two was brilliant, I couldn’t hope for a better sequel to season one and it makes me looking forward even more to the next season.
It wasn’t the ending that bothered me. It was the pace of the entire season. Scenes seem to be unnecessarily dragged out and almost nothing got resolved. The entire season was just another cliffhanger - there were almost no questions from S1 that got answered in S2. The writers, directors, producers, all say they are creating this masterpiece - but what they are really doing is wasting our time and hooking people in to keep watching. They don’t care about the story at all - they care about viewer retention.It felt to me like they filmed two endings - the happy ending one we wanted that would have felt natural and was ready for if the show wasn't renewed for season 3 - and the ending that we got because the show has been renewed for season 3 and so they need some ongoing conflict.
Granted, there's lots of interesting little threads they got started with near the end of season 2... we've got some new questions about the relationships in the Egan family...
Even here on MR, there are lots of people who think Steve Jobs invented the iPod, the iPhone and everything else Apple has launched during his time with the company. Himself. Alone. With just a screwdriver. Like MacGyver…Also, for those complaining that this is a waste of time, money and effort when Apple should be focusing on getting Apple Intelligence to work...you do realize that the company consists of more than one person, right?

I liked Silo a lot, but I agree it has some pacing issues. There are times it explodes with tension and action, and then drags out most of an episode here or there to focus on only advancing a small detail in the whole story. Like someone commented a while back on the first season? There was too much time wasted on trying to imitate a typical cop/crime show right in the middle of it. The quality of the acting is mixed, but I didn't find it horrible.Tastes vary.
