Smart on tech stuff

Smart on tech stuff but fawning over Apple responses to a “pandemic” that is no longer is getting tiresome.

Listener for countless years

Since the word Apple was removed from the title of context machine. The guys seem more free to bring in left-wing political stuff. Haven’t decided if I’m dropping the whole podcast or just turning it off when they start that crap. I don’t need the “Fk Twitter” rants. I think Musk did a great job, exposing what was going on in the background. We need to know when the government is getting into the bowels of things and creating pressure no matter which side it is. Have fun on Mastodon guys. You’re about to lose a listener. And from your comments, you don’t care.
