Any time I would listen to a tech podcast, they’d discuss Apple/its products for a majority of the time, despite OSX having less than 20% market share (and iOS having like half of Android’s as well). But obviously since their products are the priciest as well as the most “”“prestigious”“” they deserve an inordinate amount of attention and hype.
Macbooks are legitimately the best laptops and you can’t change my mind. Most other laptops have shit build quality and break in 1/3 the time, or they’re far too bulky. Also for the work that I do, macs are just easier.
I mostly agree with everything else you’ve said, but know that each iphone is the most popular singular phones sold, and each android phone is different enough that results in things like much lower quality apps.
I’ve always used Android devices. I work in tech, unless your using a pixel, certain apps will be lower quality than on iOS. There’s a lot of bloatware on things like samsung phones that slow apps down.
Sounds like you have a problem if you’re experiencing hate (which is actually a really strong emotion) over a computer lmao. Live and let live.
iOS and OSX are shit operating systems, too.
Fucking hate my work MacBook. Apparently if it gets the tiniest amount of wet on it, the touchbar dies and the computer is bricked when you try to update (even if the rest is fine, literally worked fine for months without the touchbar). I’d rather run Win10 with WSL at this point. At least Windows can make a half decent window manager for their OS; with OSX, you have to use 3rd party software to have that.
When they refreshed the Air line recently, they also made those fucking awful. You can’t do anything on them without them throttling the CPU because it’s overheating.
Don’t even get me started on the butterfly switches on the MacBooks. It’s like tapping your fingers on the goddamn table and they’re defeated by the tiniest amount of dust.
Expensive, fucking garbage.

When someone who’s pretty tech savvy needs to look up numerous tutorials to figure out how to manage windows or take a fucking screenshot, I think that’s a sign it’s not very user friendly, just minimalist and simplified
lol removes every port besides lightning - which sure, is a great replacement for usb - but damn now I have to plug in the dongle to use my hdmi monitor & headset and that means it takes up the usb spot on the dongle so I can’t use my wireless mouse and now I’m screaming into the void because someone just told me “lol buy a usb to lightning adapter for the cord”

lol yeah for some reason the company i work for decided that 2018 macbook airs were the best tools to use for, among other things, having 500 tabs of Salesforce open at a time and I weep whenever I hear the fans kick up as soon as I open Firefox.
amazingly, I’ve had this thing for almost two years and its now to the point where if I take it off its charger the battery only lasts like 2 hours due to the fans constantly running at max speed due to the shitty heat management lol.
I completely ignore and disbelieve that; the only evidence I actually have that that might be true is them refusing to unlock terrorists’ iPhones, but I’m sure a trueanon listener’s gonna reply to me saying they actually did and the whole “we literally can’t” was just to hype their privacy PR cred and I’ll be vindicated once more
I’m hoping that the Pinephone or the Librem 5 have good enough software before too long. I have a Pinephone on the way but by all accounts the distros currently available are all early WIP. I wonder how well dotnet apps will run on that hardware.
