I think that's a deep answer. Insecurities rarely create good situations.

Since you're from New Zealand, do you own sheep? Have you put a toothbrush on the fence? Do you like Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement?

Ya we're talking about the company that secretly throttled phone performance and battery life so nothings outside the realm of possibility

It's possible that was deliberate but they don't usually announce things they don't originally plan on releasing as that can damage their reputation. Possible that they truly couldn't meet deadlines or that they were purposely trying to create hype, hard to say without being upper management in Apple

I've been off apple products for over a decade now other than my 2012 macbook that I basically just use as an exclusively youtube player so I'm not too familiar with Apple Intelligence, it looks like it's their proprietary AI algorithm so in that case, it's less staggered release and more the fact that AI gets better the more it is interacted with.

A marketing prof once told me that a lot of phone companies, Apple in specific, split their projects up into several releases as a form of planned obsolescence. You're more likely to find this in matured and established brand names because they have the power of goodwill to retain their market share whereas an up and coming company relies on being innovative in the sense of being early adopters of new, sometimes not fully tested, technology.

So for example, you see 3 iPhones being released in the span of 2 years. Those were likely 1 project released in a deliberately staggered manner so that "fanboys" "early movers" "brand loyal" (basically materialistic people who either don't understand or love being manipulated by corps) will pay for 1 project that a team worked on, 3 separate times.

Good choice garfield

No survival plans?

Reasonable choice

The dragonballs from the manga/anime dragonball summon shenron the dragon when you collect them all and you're allowed to make 1 wish, even including bringing people back from the dead

I'm full of random questions

If you could only eat 1 dish forever without worrying about vitamin intake or macros, what would it be?

What would your plan be if you woke up tomorrow and everyone else on earth disappeared without a trace?

What's a skill you want to learn and what's stopping you from learning it?

What's the largest animal you think you could beat in a fight with just your hands?

You stumble upon all the dragonballs, what is your wish?

This is what made it work for me, I was looking down a hallway then glanced at that pic keeping my head and phone still then letting it focus on the picture as if it was in the distance, the amount of detail is so crazy

How did ya make one?

 

As a not quite middle aged dude, I only just now figured out how to see magic eye stuff. I tried a couple times in elementary school but didn't get it so I stopped. Had a few drinks earlier, stumbled on some magic eye pic that I could see clear as day and it blew my mind a little

 

A nice roasted duck gets my mouth leaking like an old galvanized pipe that you didn't realize was rotting from the inside out
