> Do you really think that Apple, of all companies, did a cross-platform UI refresh based entirely on vibes without considering user taste, usability, accessibility, etc?

We are talking about the same company that to make a the MCP a little bit thinner released that crap with only two USBC ports, forcing everyone to carry fucking dongles everywhere.

And let's not forget that awful butterfly keyboard.

So much usability, so much accessibility. No vibes, no sir.

Perhaps they learned something from that? Look at modern MBP models which have MagSafe, HDMI, and SD card slots.

I think the implication was that if they went on anything but vibes, they would have never removed MagSafe, HDMI, or SD card slots.

Mr. Vibe works for OpenAI now.

Mr. Vibe wasn't the issue. Tim Apple was the one who gave his leash infinite slack, and he's still there calling the shots. Probably conferring equally stupid protections onto whoever replaced Ive internally.

Lord only knows Altman is probably doting on him in the same way. This industry just never learns.

Are you telling me that the trillion dollar company had to actually release a laptop with only two USBC ports to "learn" that people need more ports on a laptop? And you do that on a straight face on a sequence where it was claimed that they carefully consider usability and accessibility?

And yes, I am aware those silly toy computers have a couple more ports nowadays, I have to use that on a daily basis for work.
