You don't consider that "tectonic activity"?

We know the org structure. It's not possible.

Elon left the board because they wouldn't let him be the CEO. That's it.

How could he possibly oust them?

That's very charitable.

To be clear, this was before the war and China has since walked it back a bit.

I guess you haven't updated iOS in a few years, then?
Re:Apple Discontinues macOS Server on Thursday April 21, 2022 @07:31PM (#31116465)
