    Compare them to Steve Jobs or Warren Buffett, who actually knew what they were doing.

    Steve Jobs, the man who thought he could beat pancreatic cancer with a juice cleanse?

      The guy who wanted to build fanless computers. Forcing designers to turn down the fans on laptops, having them cook but silent.

      Yeah, that guy was a true genius. /s

      He was great with words though.

        The Apple Silicon machines are fucking awesome though, and most of them are fanless. Even the ones that do have them, you have to do some pretty special shit to make them turn on.

        I hope the Linux world gets proper ARM machines some day too, but for the time being, the Apple machines are like a full generation ahead.

      Well, being super smart in one field doesn’t necessarily mean you have common sense. You could be the greatest physicist in the world but still think lizard people control everything.
