This is genuinely scary. It’s potentially the end of the west.

This is exactly how they won the eastern front against Germany in ww2, and the Germans knew their business.

Massed artillery. Very hard to resist.

Not now perhaps, but then it was. To me. I’d not pay them a farthing now.

100% I did pay for the premium version of Apollo and I absolutely would have paid about £20 a month for access.

It was the #1 most used app on all my devices.

Ok this is an amazing analogy, thank you.

How does the secrets to Russia thing come in?

Ok this makes sense. So they’re committed to Israel and don’t have much choice?

Ok, so it’s a politics thing?

I know, I snorted at that. Oh, shit we’re losing money because we pursued endless growth instead of the UX for customers….quick, uhhh….AI!

That’s a great point!

This is actually a thing. Worked in Apple Stores for years and saw laptops and phones full of rice. Whole grains and bits n bobs.

So before the rice you could actually do a modular repair sometimes. Swap out the battery or SSD.

Whole thing full of rice bits attached to every component? Forget it.

Also, once a device is liquid damaged, often rice will resurrect it but only until the logic board rusts through / goes dry. Copper oxidises over time.

On the other hand, if you can’t afford a repair or swap out, (contrary to popular opinion, Apple sell replacement devices through their service channel way cheaper than new units) rice might give your device a new lease of life. So sometimes worth the gamble.

Edit: missed the D off SSD which kind of changed the context!
