He provides names and figures to ask, she does the rest: so SoftBank donated $50 million for the presidential library and Apple donated $25 million for the White House ballroom.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Sure, Spotify may be owned or run by AI-loving war nazis, but their interface is so much intuitive. Aren't Apple the UI kings? I (so far) really dislike the UI.

                                                                                                                                                                                              And no smart shuffle? Yeah, I get it, having ready access to AI-loving war nazis has a trickle down effect in terms of AI being more involved in the shiffle algo. But NGL, I miss it.

Yer, I get it, the tech specs are better with the product, but it caught me off-guard. And the playlist migration was as painless as could be.
