  • I’m not an apple fanboy- in fact I own Android and mostly use windows and Linux. However,

    Apple single-handedly pushed the computer market away from x86 processors. Face ID changed the way people use their devices.

    Their computers, while no longer use upgradable, still last much longer and have higher overall quality than their competition.

    The OS pushes you toward using iCloud, but doesn’t mandate it or advertise everywhere like windows 11.

    The HomePod introduced room-equalizing to the masses and sounds way better than it should for the size.

    The integration between all their products continues to get better. Using an iPad as a second monitor, local processing rather than cloud, actual E2E encryption, while locked inside their bubble, was developed and released 10 years before it became in vogue.

    The list goes on

    Yea, no new devices but I think they are pushing tech forward still. Hard to say they aren’t innovating.



  • I believe Honda started this in the early 2000s because they found that transmissions were compromised at earlier mileages at a much more frequent rate from leaks, bad fluid changes, or missing the intervals, than were actually failing from use. So they designed the cars for how they were actually being used and maintained. It’s kind of a non-issue unless you’ve got 300k+ miles on your transmission, at which point you’d expect to potentially replace it anyway.
