You are basically saying it’s Nintendo’s fault for not putting Smash Bros on Xbox because Nintendo is the software and hardware developer.

I mean, yeah?

You’re too angry at Apple to make a salient point aside from the fact this product is expensive.

It’s no more a slap in the face than having to get an Xbox to play with your Xbox-owning friends when you have a Switch.

Being that a developer can implement cross play between Xbox and switch, Is Nintendo the bad guy for not “interfacing” with an Xbox?

I mean this thing barely has Mac support, why would it have PC support? It’s basically its own computer you put on your head.

Ah, someone with real grit.

It was successful immediately because there literally wasn’t any other player in the world that had its capacity and physical size.

Everything else lacked mass market appeal because it couldn’t hold enough songs or couldn’t fit in your pocket.

Not to mention the vast majority of the population didn’t know how to pirate music, and most music stores were shit compare to iTunes(and that is not a great endorsement).

The only huge barrier to adoption was the initial FireWire only model, but I’d be willing to bet even with that restriction they sold more units in the first year than any other model of music player.

Selling my Intel stock was a good decision.

Can you give a concrete example where CarPlay has been implemented properly and a bug still exists?

This is not true.

Anti collision systems of various sorts have been around for over a decade. The problem space is minuscule compared to self driving, and almost all car manufacturers offer both forward and reverse collision detection at this point.

In fact I think EU is making it a requirement soon.

NASA doesn’t build many rockets. They are almost all done under contract.

Exactly. Saying windows is problematic has nothing to do with supporting multiple hardware configurations and everything to do with Microsoft having no empathy for the user experience.

Is supporting every bit of hardware on earth why Linux shows ads everywhere?

Discrimination is still a factor, but yeah, society corrals women into certain fields that don’t pay as much.
