@apple team: whomever approved your hydraulic press imagery forgot that "standing on the shoulders of giants" is an appreciation of, not a license to stomp on. words matter, images matter, it's how you tell us who you are.

It was repulsive and disturbing to me. That piano could have been used.

Even if 'no animals were harmed' in the making, as in they pulled some filming tricks... it's still a disturbing message. They once understood 'marketing is about values' // what a sad value they proclaimed today, destroy the essence for our entertainment.

I think it conveys its concept well: a lesser equivalent at high cost, aimed to destroy things of value, embracing AI cultural revolution.

I don’t get the controversy about this. At landfills with self service all over the USA, probably tens of thousands of Americans dumped substantially more useful stuff than that into the hydraulic trash compactor machine today. I sincerely don’t know what to do with old printers, I’d probably go drop it in there. Along with a bunch of old doors from my house. Sure they could be reused but how am I supposed to find the time and energy to get them to a new home? Have you ever tried to bring a bunch of stuff to goodwill? They sure say no to a lot of it!
