  • They sell hardware, everything they make is there to want you to purchase the next version of it.

    Their lockin game is on point. I was reading an article about how kids bully other kids who are not using apple products because their icons are another color.

    I think ideally we should all use something that’s open source, e2e encrypted, and platform agnostic, but you are not going to get either Apple or Google on board with that since you can’t really make money off it.

    I think you are overestimating the value of special forces. We kind of mythologize them with our media, but they are not action heroes. You arnt going to send them into a hostile city where Hamas is not in uniform, planned for the retaliation, had time to prepare, and expect them to come out with low casualties.

    For example of what this looks like with the US, refer to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mogadishu_(1993)

    Even the US after 9-11 didn’t just send in spec ops after Osama, they went in whole hog. And that was estimated at about 4.5 million casualties all around.

    It sucks, but Hamas isn’t going to start wearing uniforms and abiding by the Geneva convention any time soon.
