Beep boop - this is a robot. A new show has been posted to TWiT…
What are your thoughts about today’s show? We’d love to hear from you!
Isn’t “reverse naked” fully clothed?
Edit: I was walking the dog and I was sure they said revers. But later in the show it was fact checked as rear…

I can’t imagine ANY OTHER TV network or streaming services making anything that is considered a “traditional viewing event” FREE for people to watch. I think that is great by Apple. (People are upset that Apple bought the rights to these specials, but would they be happier if Netflix or HBO/max got them and put them behind their paywall)?

BBC, ITV, RTL, ZDF, ARD, there are dozens of them, if you don’t live in America.
Having always had free sports, like football, rugby, F1 and other motorsport on TV, I never understood why people would pay to watch sports. Even American Football is in free view over here, including the superbowl.

Jason is putting a good face on Apple’s leadership when he calls it “static”. To me, “stagnant” seems a more apt descriptor of the situation. Apple has created a culture that, rightly or wrongly, does not support external candidates in succeeding at higher level positions. If the only real way for someone to succeed is to have been with Apple for 20+ years and be inculcated to the culture - then the pool of candidates for senior leadership positions will naturally be small and limited. That discourages outside-of-the-box thinking in favor of the-way-we-do-things-here.
And that has worked, generally speaking, to Apple’s advantage - as born out in the company’s successes. But it’s also served to hinder them in areas where they could adjust their way of doing things, to the benefit of all.
I, personally, think that some of the recent leadership changes can be linked to the disastrous decision to lie to a federal judge. The Chief Legal Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, both of whom were involved in that decision, are among those higher-ups who are leaving. And I think the rumors of Tim Cook leaving are more credible than they may appear - especially as he is the one who made the ultimate decision to listen to that bad advice.
I have no proof for this, but the specific people involved seem too connected to that event for it to be coincidence, in my opinion.
