Okay, we're here in the breaks. I'm here with Firas Bugadige, founder and CEO of Socket.dev. So Firas, you put out this fire post recently on X. And I'm going to paraphrase. You say the XZ package backdoor was just the tip of the iceberg. Give me just a peek behind the scenes of this incident and what you mean by it's just the tip of the iceberg.

Okay, friends, go to socket.dev. Security dependencies. Socket is on the front lines of securing the open source ecosystem. They're a developer-first security platform that protects your code from both vulnerable and malicious dependencies. Install the GitHub app or book a demo. Again, socket.dev. That's S-O-C-K-E-T dot dev.

So are you saying that NVIDIA and these players that are providing these expensive AI GPUs, things like this, this new tech, I suppose is probably the easier way to say it, should learn from the Apple model of this? Every 18 months, there's a recycling of tech. I'm getting the latest, greatest. The older version of it is cycling out. And I can rely on the best being available to me.

And the company like NVIDIA can lean back on this predictability of a sales cycle, essentially. So as they have CapEx and innovation, this new thing they're working so hard on has a place to go.

We talked about racking and stacking last time we talked and there's joy in it.

I want to talk about that, but I want to put, I hate this phrase. I'm going to say it though. I want to put a pin in it just temporarily.

Because I want to throw something out there because we departed from one part of this conversation that I want to just throw out there for both of you. And if we like the Apple model of this, you know, every X months or every X years, I'm cycling out my phone and we're all on Macintosh computers. We're all in Apple, M1, M star computers, all three of us in this conversation.

Why haven't they done that with the Mac computer? They've done it well with the iPhone. I'm not swapping out my phone, my, my computer the same way I can with my phone. if it's such a good model, are they just not eating their own dog food or drink their own champagne in terms of this model with the Mac?

Is there, is there a reason why they haven't conquered that market where I'm swapping on my Mac every two years? Cause the latest greatest is there. They're taking the old thing away and they make it an easy process. Now you can, you can go and buy the new thing, but the process that they've put in place for the phone is so turnkey. Right.
