    Scottie Pippin (The basketball player) was what always came to mind when I heard about the Pippin. I remember wanting one, just for the design.

    "The crash of Intel's stock is the only sound" What an obscure video. Didn't Weird Al Parody that song too?
    Loved this type of video. I would have loved it 100x more if you also had a Pippin and had a related video showing you actually getting your hands on it and how the actual device is to use, along with its history

    I still kinda wish Apple worked on a gaming platform for AAA games. IMO The experience they offer is far superior to other platforms simply because of the integration. I have an Xbox, but can’t wait to get rid of it because Microsoft doesn’t have a plan they just produce software and hardware products and kill them if they don’t catch-up immediately, and they also keep changing up the names of their products almost every other day.

    Pippin seems like a forgotten, but important failed predecessor to the AppleTV.
    In regards to Pippin not having a proper OS, I think it was still a time in console history and some home PCs that many did not not having full fledged OS baked into the hardware and most of the software/chips was loaded from external disks/cartridges.
    Even though Apple gets a lot of flack for a failed device, in retrospect it was not uncommon to have many failed hardware devices from large tech companies in the 90s. It was a decade of hardware experimentation.

    I am the only person I know who doesn't love Apple and doesn't hate it. Everyone I meet has strong feelings one way or the other.
    Was impressed by their computers in the 90's but they were so expensive it didn't matter. Their phones and media players always seemed too proprietary and demanding to be taken seriously as a good consumer product. So I just avoided them. Their cloud service is great assuming you aren't female or don't like uploading nudes on them.

      Man, you seem very bitter.
      Sure, Apple has a lot of mainstream fans, that buy Apple stuff regardless of their tech inside, but come on.
      They are all logo buyers?
      There is no benefit in everything from the Watch to the MacPro working together?
      I mean most of the FCPX Users I know started because Adobe was unable to support QuickSync for Years, Apple did. Also, Video in the iPhone as well as the speed of the A14 is just unmatched. I also applaud Apple for serving iPhones at least 5 Years of updates. That is unheard of in the Android-World, although it has gotten so much better, lately.
      Also the M1vs i7 thing Intel touted was more a MacOS vs. Windows10 benchmark. Also Port Royal is a RTX Bench... it is not accelerated on the iGPU of any Intel or Apple Chip... and it is Windows only, since it uses DXR and DirectX is something Microsoft holds its hand over.
      Topaz is specifically optimized for Intel in Windows, Handbreak is very optimized for multi threading, the Adobe Stuff is either on beta software, not native or heavily optimized for quicksync.
      So yes, Intel made a point in showing, that Apple lags a little in software optimization, conveniently not mentioning that the Apple ARM Desktop ecosystem is not even one year old.
      If you want to game or use highly multithreaded workloads... do not get a M1 Mac.... gosh if you want windows do not get one. But honestly, App,es Performance, especially in single thread is impressive. No way around it.
