I hope it isn't anything too serious. Get well soon, Woz.

It's funny this is on "Technology" topic and not just on "World news" or like that, like if this blog was related to tech... it's like a clickbait deserved to be filtered, bad quality post from bbc.co.uk... not saying anything interesting unless "he's on hospital"

He's a tech icon. I think this belongs here just fine.

He’s a tech icon.

Ah, I never heard about him, right now Apple makes pretty bad computers unless for their ARM CPUs that are more or less efficient, but that will end soon. They just messed up with arch CPUs, making things harder for developers.

this belongs here just fine

Nope, he is just one guy more working on tech, he's just richer than his employees, that's why he is here.

go read your computer history.

From the beginning? Why you don't tell me exactly what am I wrong, instead to tell me to read everything from the first computer made? I might be wrong, so tell me.

EDIT: I mean, I feel like he just started with microprocessors, but that's all. I can't read anything else he did for us, and if he wouldn't do it, any other would do it. And as I said, Apple was good when it started, but RIGHT NOW sucks in many ways. So he wasn't that brilliant if he can't even make Apple a good tech company. They are just marketing. Apple right now: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=0PK9RzSl9O0&listen=false maybe that's why he's on Hospital, after reading the Apple employees saying 8GB RAM on M3 is like 16GB on Windows/Linux.

He wanted to do something like https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform

But instead after he left apple he did: https://d2skn5554g4boz.cloudfront.net/2020-website/644/3459024/large/3459024_1.jpg

Oh boy, you're a fucking idiot. And I say that as someone who hates Apple with a passion. Woz is a legend and you couldn't be more ignorant.

This guy was a legend. Steve Jobs took credit for everything but Wozniak was the brains.

Wozniak is a much, much better person than Steve Jobs was also. However, thanks to Steve Jobs, we got macbooks. Wozniak would not have put such polish on the products as Steve did, or market it the same magical way. Steve was great at marketing, but he didn't have the tech skills Wozniak had.

Well, I don't like MacBooks, they have many issues just to make it look cool... and super expensive.

I know, I don't buy them either but still, impressive feats they accomplish.

But that's just marketing... I wouldn't say "This guy was a legend", he just did a company and paid employees. He could have good ideas, but many of Apple features are startups bought and stolen, like SIRI.
