Ooh good, yes. I was playing on tim apple but maybe john doesn’t even get far enough to be corponamed by the demented rapist.

TBH I’m kind of glad the new CEO is a “Product” guy and not a “Numbers” guy (Tim was the COO for years under Steve, John was the SVP of HW engineering). If there’s any reason to be cool with this transition it’s that, Apple got real greedy under Tim.

This maps change was probably started under Tim; John just got the keys yesterday. I don’t not blame him for it as the new guy in charge but I’m still curious to see how he impacts Apple over the next few months to years (Apple generally has an ~18-ish month pipeline so it’s gonna take a little time to see the full scope).

If he fails us though, pls make John Turdus a thing 🤡

The maps change was actually started under Donald. If you're a US-based user, the place names come from GNIS, which changed the official name for Lake Ontario for Americans.
