The heat sink that sunk the Apple III. Over decades at Apple, Chris Espinosa shipped the Apple II, Macintosh, MacWorks XL, and dozens of other products and features. The Apple III holds an infamous place in computing history. Thanks to an unfortunate design decision combined with the wrong choice of metals, components would begin to overheat, oxidize and fail. #Appleat50 #Apple #SteveJobs

I love the concept of a talkshow about super niche subjects where the entire audience knows exactly what you are talking about
The perfect crowd
Steve was such a megalomaniac, that he tried to fight the laws of Thermodynamics
So my old technique of slamming the fist on appliances to fix them was rooted in logic!
I love how nerdy and knowledgeable the crowd is lol
Steve hated life saving surgery.
If only he'd stuck an off-balance fan in the case then the constant vibration would have kept the oxidation at bay and would have cooled the computer...
I never heard of the Apple 3, I guess this is why
Steve was the reason for Apple's success. And also the Failures.
And thus the term "Percussive Maintenance" came into the popular vernacular!
There's a reason the Apple II is the iconic one 😂
This is the definition of knowing your audience and playing to them, this is so beautiful and wholesome. More than half of this is lost on me, but the vibes are immaculate
The more I hear about Steve Jobs, the more I realise he had no redeeming features. The guy was a vampire with no common sense.
Percussive Maintenance without the 3lb sledge persuader. We had an Apple 3 and I remember those days
Steve thought it would be better to crash than to keep it cool so there wouldn't be a buzz... 🤦🏻
Steve hated many things that made sense. His products remind me of the Tesla semi truck. Looking cool was the main priority over so many important designs features
LOL, kinda like the Xbox 360 towel trick.
"Technical knocks" AKA slapping, hitting or slamming devices has been a well used and known technique since the time of the industrial revolution. And it still works today.
This guy was such a genious that it took teams of people to make his inane ideas to work.
Me watching this on my solid aluminum chassis Macbook rn 👀
