Apple paid bounty hunter 18k instead of 250k by silently tweaking their help page, so it seems like the bug is less severe.

Dear apple, I defended you from baseless and opinionated attacks just like I defend every company that is bashed for no reason, but this is some straight up bouba shit. I will still be fair when it comes to your products, still never silencing bugs and downsides and praising what deserves to be praised, but I will always mention this incident when someone asks me about _working_ at apple. That kind of ethics bs can't be silenced just because I enjoy your new arm chip.

    Well.. you now got to know the real side of that company. Slowly you'll wake up.

    @Floydimus I always knew that working at apple is shit. I don’t like overtimes and being neglected. I even reckon saying “fuck faang” to you in DMs.

    This all doesn’t make apple products intrinsically bad. Separate the art from the artist

    @Floydimus I get it, but it’s not the same. Reddit is heavily censored because of their “ethics”, and thus is bad for me, meanwhile apple m1 chip doesn’t give a damn about apple ethics, it’s just a piece of silicon.

    That being said, your choice not to bring your money to them does matter and makes a statement. What i was saying is the fucking integral scheme isn’t affected by apple ethics.

    @Floydimus product quality is defined by specs. Being manufactured by a bad company is not a spec. Meanwhile company is defined by the quality of its products and also its ethics, therefore if ethics is bad, company is bad.

    Anyone else work in an agile environment where each person on the team is told what they’ll be working on and how long (to the nearer hour) it will take them?

    Even the non-agile places I’ve worked have had less command and control going on than this

    That's fucking bullshit and only hurts their customers.

    Next time someone finds one of these is more likely to sell it instead of report it.

    Idiots.

    @TrevorTheRat nobody tells me how long it will take.

    They tried to pull it on me, I asked them what happens if I get done early. They said I can pull a new story and then asked me if I could get though a couple more. I told em nah, I think it will take me exactly the time you said.

    They got the picture. Now I tell them how long it will take. I'm not going to sandbag, but I won't let someone tell me how long it takes to solve a problem they have no understanding about.

    @kiki, Sorry for accidentally hijacking this thread. When I typed that it was supposed to be my own rant and not a comment here.
    I’ll repost

    @sariel
    It won’t be done in that amount of time. I’ve been around to long to have managers decide what deadlines they’ll hold me to, they ain’t gonna light a fire under my ass. It’ll be done when it’s done, all they’ve made sure of is that I won’t be in a rush
