$1.27 million to Apple is like $1.27 to me.

On one hand, this sets a useful precedent that others could use to hold Apple accountable considering they still do exactly this thing.

On the other, I'd be surprised if Apple even noticed losing 1.27 million.

Also worth noting 2016 wasn't much longer after the Flint Michigan issue with the tainted drinking water, where Obama pretended to drink Flint water and said things were alright. And then did basically nothing to fix the water issue.

That was almost definitely a major reason Michigan went to Trump.

Hilary was so much worse at actually handling controversy. She was being dragged through the mud on Benghazi and email junk for years because she couldn't shake it.

Biden doesn't have anything that bad, or if he does he's done a much better job of pushing it away.

Also Trump having 4 years of sucking is probably giving Biden a lot of points Hilary didn't have access to.

the apple walled garden sucks unless you go all in on their ecosystem.

That's how they get you.

Their products are really good for what they are, being "I don't care how it works, I just want it to work". But the whole "ecosystem" is really dumb and does nothing but hurt consumers.

As an example, as the stupidest thing that should've never been allowed, you can't use an Apple Watch with an android phone. you can use the other smartwatches with either an android or an iPhone, but not the Apple Watch.

I mean, none of the battles in-game are particularly hard except maybe the champion battle, its tough to keep that idea the whole time. Hop kind of had this with him changing his team up throughout the midgame, but how do you expect the game to be hard?

Blue and Silver were never really hard either.

The new rivals should be better, since GF is actually trying to give the new rivals basically a character arc. But they either screw it up or don't go far enough and it makes the character worse. I don't want the rival to just be a dick.

Calem/Serena had an actual arc where they actually have an issue with losing to you all the time, but instead of them growing at all, they just kind of die inside.

Hau is basically just walking around the entirety of Sun/Moon and never does any real development and he really doesn't need to be there.

Hop has a whole character arc, but is ruined by cutscenes every 5 seconds and Hop just kind of giving up his dream of actually being a good trainer, and just suddenly decides that he wants something else at the end. Really botching the end of the story there.

Marnie and Bede also had potential, but they aren't given enough time to actually develop enough to be really likeable characters.
