I wasn't complaining, it's a factual statement made sarcasticly.

Things apple do because apple do:

- make a mouse you can't use while charging it

- gets bored of the power inefficency L of x86, makes the fastest arm cpu that causes x86 manufacturers get serious about power

- hey, those f keys? what if useless strip

- decades ahead in panel tech and refuses to compromise

I don't see what this has to do with the topic, sorry.

Their point is that Apple is the Nintendo of computing. They don't care what others do, they just do their own thing. Which produces some great things and some stupid things. They also don't care whether you think what they are doing is great or stupid, they just continue doing their thing

Which then tracks back to the beginning of the thread: the correct answer to whether apple will adopt jxl-rs or keep libjxl is "who knows, no point trying to predict them". Which is not a value judgement

How you square all of that with the iPhone regularly copying features Android had for years is your decision. Might be a symptom of the same, might be that this all was an entirely inaccurate description of Apple

That useless strip could play lemmings and doom, it wasn't all bad

> make a mouse you can't use while charging it

I'm not one to usually defend Apple-ism, but it always felt that this was such a nothing-burger. The mouse charges in like fifteen minutes and lasts for weeks. I don't have a work Macbook (or job :) ) right now, but when I did I would just occasionally plug it in while I went to the bathroom. It really was not nearly as annoying as everyone said it was.

Remember all those times you needed to make a change to something a few minutes before it was submitted/presented?

Imagine if you couldn't, because you needed to charge your mouse first.
