I hope it isn’t anything too serious. Get well soon, Woz.

He’s in his seventies, so this isn’t that surprising, but I do hope he is doing okay.
He had a minor stroke. Good that it was minor and that help was nearby. But it’s not the news we were hoping for.
Mexico City and he fainted? Altitude and a flight of stairs got him.
Too bad Segways don’t go up stairs
No! Not The Woz!
Get well soon, hero.
If you were to send him a get-well basket of fruit, would you include or exclude apples?

Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is in hospital in Mexico, according to multiple reports.
An unnamed source from the WBF said that Mr Wozniak fainted on Wednesday afternoon at the event, according to the CNN news website.
Better known in the tech world as Woz, Mr Wozniak is a Silicon Valley veteran who co-founded Apple with Steve Jobs in 1976 and invented the first Apple computer.
The computing pioneer signed a letter in March alongside Elon Musk calling for a pause in the development of the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) models.
He called for the regulation of AI when he spoke to the BBC in May 2023, fearing the technology would be harnessed by “bad actors”.
But he sounded a note of scepticism that regulators would get it right: “I think the forces that drive for money usually win out, which is sort of sad.”

It’s funny this is on “Technology” topic and not just on “World news” or like that, like if this blog was related to tech… it’s like a clickbait deserved to be filtered, bad quality post from bbc.co.uk… not saying anything interesting unless “he’s on hospital”
He’s a tech icon. I think this belongs here just fine.
He’s a tech icon.
Ah, I never heard about him, right now Apple makes pretty bad computers unless for their ARM CPUs that are more or less efficient, but that will end soon. They just messed up with arch CPUs, making things harder for developers.
this belongs here just fine
Nope, he is just one guy more working on tech, he’s just richer than his employees, that’s why he is here.
go read your computer history.
From the beginning? Why you don’t tell me exactly what am I wrong, instead to tell me to read everything from the first computer made? I might be wrong, so tell me.
EDIT: I mean, I feel like he just started with microprocessors, but that’s all. I can’t read anything else he did for us, and if he wouldn’t do it, any other would do it. And as I said, Apple was good when it started, but RIGHT NOW sucks in many ways. So he wasn’t that brilliant if he can’t even make Apple a good tech company. They are just marketing. Apple right now: https://redirect.invidious.io/watch?v=0PK9RzSl9O0&listen=false maybe that’s why he’s on Hospital, after reading the Apple employees saying 8GB RAM on M3 is like 16GB on Windows/Linux.
He wanted to do something like https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform
But instead after he left apple he did: https://d2skn5554g4boz.cloudfront.net/2020-website/644/3459024/large/3459024_1.jpg
Oh boy, you’re a fucking idiot. And I say that as someone who hates Apple with a passion. Woz is a legend and you couldn’t be more ignorant.
This guy was a legend. Steve Jobs took credit for everything but Wozniak was the brains.
Wozniak is a much, much better person than Steve Jobs was also. However, thanks to Steve Jobs, we got macbooks. Wozniak would not have put such polish on the products as Steve did, or market it the same magical way. Steve was great at marketing, but he didn’t have the tech skills Wozniak had.
Well, I don’t like MacBooks, they have many issues just to make it look cool… and super expensive.
I know, I don’t buy them either but still, impressive feats they accomplish.
But that’s just marketing… I wouldn’t say “This guy was a legend”, he just did a company and paid employees. He could have good ideas, but many of Apple features are startups bought and stolen, like SIRI.
Noooooo, that dude is a treat, hope he comes through alright.
