InstagramSimply You Grow on Instagram: "In an earlier interview with CNBC, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak criticized Elon Musk for how he handled Dogecoin and the large-scale job cuts at government agencies. He called the layoffs a “sledgehammer” approach and said such drastic moves can hurt a company in the long run. “Just mass firings… it’s not good for a business to run that way,” he said. Wozniak also voiced his disappointment with Tesla, saying the company hasn’t fixed its quality issues, despite repeated complaints from customers and the media. He also mentioned he might have been banned from X (formerly Twitter), possibly because of his criticism of Musk. “Maybe it’s because I was on the wrong side of Elon,” he said.

Es ist so nervig nur mit Macs. Nie mit anderen Geräten aus dem Hause #apple. Als ich ein Microsoft Surface besaß, mit entsprechender BT Maus von Microsoft, gab es das Problem auch nicht.

Daher mag ich ja Geräte an Kabeln sehr ;-) ... (2/2)

So now that both #Apple and #Meta have formally appealed the #DMA fines that are just pocket money for them, can we please start calling those lawsuits for what they are: intimidation similar to #SLAPPs.

They are designed to bind public resources for years, which regulators will lack for enforcing the #DigitalMarketsAct, to intimidate civil servants in the @EUCommission, and to show us that #BigTech is above the law and that we are helpless.

Let's not be intimidated. #ResistBigTech

Why? Because this „technological masterpiece" in all its iterations is constantly failing. It always loses connections up to the point where the user has to completely reconnect the device whith no reason whatsoever! And the #apple peripheral products like mouse and keyboard are especially meant here. An 80 Euros Mouse with lots of flaws and even the BT only connection fails. This is priceless. And this happened with every BT mouse they ever created. (2/3)

Diese Woche ist ordentlich putzen & aufräumen angesagt. Die Besenkammer muss auf Vordermann gebracht und jede Menge Zeug ausgemistet werden.

Wenn ich damit fertig bin, hab ich auch die Sachen für @PCsfueralle zusammen. U. a. zwei Drucker und ein #apple #macbook Pro, dazu zwei Smartphones, Smartwatches und diverses Zubehör plus Zeugs. Alles muss raus ... ;-)
