I find it funny how many replies I get about Steve Jobs who is not the subject of this post plus he’s been dead for 15 years.

They literally want to kill personal computing forever.
And replace it with “agents” that they run and make you addicted to and you have to rent from them.
They’re spelling it out what their plans are.

All the episodes on YouTube are either in 360p 16:9 with the original 4:3 image just stretched out, or they are in 720p 16:9 with black bars on the sides.
The original format is PAL 4:3 576i.
For the love of science, YouTube supports 4:3 videos natively.
jfc why is this so hard

A thing that people don’t understand about this is that it was marketed and sold to average consumers.
People bought this with the expectation that it lasts them decades.
This receiver was the middle model in Pioneer’s lineup of consumer-targeted Hi-Fi.
They had two entire lines of higher end equipment, still targeted at consumers; standalone amplifiers for “prosumers” and standalone amplifier/preamps for enthusiasts.
But they didn’t really target audiophiles (who would go with brands like McIntosh).

I’m not sure if they will be able to make this work, for two reasons:
1. “AI” craze inflating prices will lead to low demand
2. While Windows runs natively, practically no apps do and many will never get ported because it’s a tiny market.
This will lead to most consumers and businesses to choose a x86-64 computer so apps and games run smoothly.
The crux why Apple could pull this off is tight integration of hardware and software, an extremely good transparent emulation layer for older software, control over the development tools that most apps are made with, and most importantly discontinuation of their Intel-based machines.
Additionally, they’ve had the same underlying OS and apps that share code running for over a decade on that architecture already on their mobile platforms, and they had the experience from another architecture migration in the mid 2000s.

Happy May the 4th!
