Apple CEO Tim Cook Says Technology Can Change the World for Better in Open Letter

[sudo-sandwich]

Sorry. I didn't realize that you weren't actually interested in an answer to your question.

I am. I've read the articles. Still looking IRL for what the media is alleging about FB. Matters to me personally cause I have a SWE job offer from them sitting on the table, having rejected one from them for a lower level 5 years ago.

Yes, I am pissed and disappointed at Apple as well. All the other companies are helping Ukraine at the moment for example, but not Apple. Even Elon Musk (whom I disliked a lot) helped Ukraine.
He stands up for Black Lives Matters (which is fine) and such things, but not Ukrainians. Even Google helped Ukraine. I sent an email to MacRumors to write about it, but for whatever reason they didn't. I am so sad and devastated now. I'm thinking about leaving Apple ecosystem.

Hopefully you now feel pride that apple stepped up to the plate:

Apple Making It Easier For Customers to Donate to Those in Need in Ukraine

FWIW I'm Canadian and it's not appearing on the Canadian Apple site. However I went to the US site followed the link and then logged in with my Canadian ID and my donation went through. It's a bit kludgy, but it works.

Apple has released extensive annual environmental reports.

Environment

Apple 2030 is our plan to use recycled and renewable materials, clean electricity, and low-carbon shipping to bring our net emissions to zero.

? “Extensive”

The chart formatting is highly impressive, that alone just saved 4.35 polar bears and half a turtle.

Why do eco crusaders always say carbon when they mean carbon dioxide? Science? This whole movement is just chemists making jokes, right?

Tim Cook: “Look out! OMG… we’re surrounded! It’s CARBON, and it’s EVERYWHERE! Somebody get me a periodic table… wait… no time for that… by next year we need CHARTS! And somebody get me HALF A TURTLE!”

That all said, I'd glady go back in time to a pre-smartphone era. Give me my iPod and my flip phone back with maybe just google maps.

This comment and your U2 iPod avatar took me back to my teenage years. I still miss "just" listening to music on my click wheel iPod nano.

I love tech as much as anyone but the way things are heading all I can think of are Soylent green and skynet ....
