You don't have to like his music, but Steve Miller of the Steve Miller Band is one of the realest dudes in the music industry.

Useful alternative app: Google calendar. Or any of a hundred other calendar apps.

There are specialized scheduling apps for most things as well. I know for sure there are a ton of gardening apps.

It's a little more specific than that, like it has something to do with a way they attempted to streamline the process of switching between mounted and on-foot.

But yeah, still bullshit.

Even a non-IoT electronic device still runs on many different chips.

Tech companies are terrified of becoming commodities, even though a good chunk of them basically are at this point.

Intel would probably be in a better spot if they'd just leaned into that rather than try to regain the market dominance they once had.

The vast, vast majority of chips produced are "old generation" chips used for relatively mundane purposes. The high-tech stuff you see in the news is a minority (though it's pricey enough that it doesn't look that way in company earnings reports).
