Anyway, You listed 14 unique devices. In the late 90s Apple probably had that many Performas alone, never mind everything else.
I do blind type but I love the Touch Bar. There are many CAD programs that I use approximately monthly and I can never remember which F keys does what exactly. In my office I have cheat sheets on the wall but when out of office having icons makes using those applications much better.
Basically the video ignores the idea that the X(w) integral may not exist. It doesn’t for many x(t). I don’t want to type a book, but basically the X(s) integral exists (where it does is called the region of convergence) for many more x(t), so there are classes of functions which can now be analyzed where with just Fourier, they could not be.
The other thing is delta functions. With Fourier they are a pain but with Laplace they are a breeze. This is especially important if you want to mathematically model how the control system will respond to a jolt or impulse. I always figured that is why control engineers use Laplace.

I think there are a lot of parallels to banking & financing and the regulation and oversight of those industries.
Definitely it’s good to do something rather than nothing, and many good things happen because of oversight etc.
But just like in banking, don’t expect this to be a panacea and things are going to happen very slowly.
Anyone may not be who you think it is and their needs are likely different than the typical retail investor.
MacOS gives up a lot of security for those extra abilities, and on MacOS I don't feel like I ever really had security. For example, I begrudgingly run shell injection attacks on myself every time I download some large codebase, which I am never going to review all of, or run brew, etc. It has been that way since the very beginning. Not so with iOS.
P.S. If it "should be" cheap doesn't it make sense to complain when it's expensive?
Apple's main thing is security, and one important aspect of how they achieve it is by only allowing signed code, which Apple also does some basic tests on, to be installed on the device. Many think this is a valuable service.
In the third party App Store scenario, does the developer still submit an app to Apple for approval? How does Apple then make the approved app available to the third party? How is this different from a website that gives App recommendations?
Notice this key quote from below, "However, the DOJ did not require Microsoft to change any of its code nor prevent Microsoft from tying other software with Windows in the future."
Not really a loss I would say.

That's a management failure not software engineers doing the wrong thing. Software engineers should care more about building technically excellent systems just like safety auditors should care most about safety. It's management's job to prioritize the wants of the business and the wants of the engineers and decide when they align and when they don't.
For example, what about companies like DuPont. Surely they are a technology company. Are they also a tech company? The author provides no framework to address the question which, in my mind, means they were largely unsuccessful in their attempt.

> Ara runs at 1.2 GHz in the typical corner (TT/0.80 V/25 oC), achieving a performance up to 34 DP-GFLOPS. In terms of energy efficiency, Ara achieves up to 67 DP-GFLOPS/W under the same conditions, which is 56% higher than similar vector processors found in literature.
