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.”

He’s a tech icon. I think this belongs here just fine.

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.
