I'd have just one final remark, that it really is not a engineering problem but rather a business decision.

After all; having paid gazillions to engineers and project managers to build the sludgefest, all that cash needs to be harvested back into the pockets.

Can anyone explain to me why exactly Classical music ?

I feel like acquiring a niche in the (music) market is not the apple way. If google/alphabet did this, it would have been killed already, but apple is sticking to it.

is tim apple or someone in the upper management just a big hardcore classical music fanatic ?

I never understood why people calculate time savings like this. Similar for a developer 1 times 5 hours yields not the same producitiy/results as 5 times 1 hours, due to "context switching overhead" for example.

Claiming you saved a couple of lifetimes when all you can gain is a couple of seconds is so misleading.

On the same note, I find it very annoying that my AirPods dont work with msteams. It used to work on my iphone but now even that doesnt work, I have to take one out, otherwise the airpods are trapped in a disconnect-reconnect loop.

I feel teleported to the stone age everytime I have to switch to my wired earbuds, just to attend my daily. And theres nothing I can do as a user other than buy another pair of earphones.

The solution to urban mobility is less cars, not different cars than we have now.

She hates every second of the 1.1-mile journey home, shrinking into the seat to shield herself from the constant finger-points the Ami attracts from passers-by.

She refuses to be seen in it again.

Yikes if that were my MIL I'd refuse to be seen with her too.

The arrogance and dogmatized manifestation of the motorized individual transport in our society knows no limits.

I will accept motivated reasoning when in a friendly setting but big tech is not my friend. Their only and only purpose is to extract as much value (data or money) from me as possible.

Looking at Heartbleed and other famous security we should know that minor mistakes "disguised" as "typos" can have devastating effects.

They know what theyre doing alright.

600 kcal in other terms is: a sandwich and 2 small pieces of chocolate

2 sausages and two eggs

Coke isnt really more energy dense than orange juice but getts a worse rep, my point being is that if you dont pay attention to the actual energy contained in your food 600 kcal can be inhaled in a whim.
