Are shitty Apple products and shitty Mac computers the biggest marketing meme ever ?
Apple and Mac

yep, massive fucking markup. that said they are very pleasant to use and instill a sense of "joy" or "love" that other electronic can't quite capture
OSX is infinitely better than that garbage OS Windows, but the hardware is increasingly overpriced and Apple software (Safari, iTunes, Quicktime) sucks.
Just run linux and stop being a fag.
Windows sucks and I'm not a poorfag.
Doing dev work on OSX feels a lot better than doing it in Windows. Products are definitely overpriced. though.
>paste a folder into a directory where another folder with the same name exists
>logically they merge contents
>OSX deletes the entire original folder and contents from the directory and pastes in the new folder
better
Ya I'm also a dev and its one of the reasons I refuse to touch windows. If your OS doesn't even ship with SSH, its an OS made for morons.
Also the registry.. fuck that atrocity. How they haven't bailed on it yet is beyond me. Its such a disgusting architecture.
All that said, I'm p sure my next laptop is going to be a System 76 running linux though. I do all my work on my linux server now anyway and just use my Macbook as a virtual KVM server/browsing machine. I can't justify the price of the Macbook Pros anymore, and I'm not sure I want to pickup an Air... so a System 76 Galago Pro gets my money.
shut the fuck up poor ass bitch
Mac hardware is garbage. Only masochists would enjoy the dongle hell and constantly having to replace the fragile cables.
there literally isnt better phone than iphone on the market
wish there was
>feels a lot better
Lol, I would expect more rational arguments from a developer.
>feeling isn’t important
lol I don't have/need any dongles and I've not once had to replace a cable.
you can say their hardware is garbage, but that's entirely relative. I used to repair computers for a living and most laptops use completely trash components and the plastic feels chincy af. Sony Vaios that cost more than a mac would have their hinges bust in a matter of months. Asus laptops would have their graphics cards burn out. HP is just absolute dogshit, and Dell's entire brand is so spotty one year it could be great hardware and the next its on par with a Toshiba. Samsung laptops tended to be fairly consistent and one of the few worth buying. The rest are 90% trash unless you're spending Apple prices for a laptop anyway.
Apple's hardware is well made. If you've ever opened hundreds of laptops you'd know that's a fact. But its gotten way too overpriced since Cook took over so I won't say its worth it anymore. Calling it garbage is a clueless statement though.
Yes
yo faggot, i have $4k worth of macs and don't have any problem you little bitch boy
delet dis
ALL IN ON LINK GET SALTED
>you can say their hardware is garbage, but that's entirely relative
How is it relative when their cables break so easily? You're just too brand obsessed that you refuse to acknowledge Apple products have any faults.
How do feelings even apply to development work? Would you work slowly because it feels good?
Again, I've been using macs for 15 years and not once had a cable break. I have however seen hundreds of people come in looking for replacement cables for their shit laptops. In that time I saw maybe a half dozen Mac users need new power cables.
I've listed some of Apple's faults, and said my next laptop won't be a Mac. I'm not brand obsessed. I've just seen enough shitty machines to know what a shitty machine looks like inside and out. Every other vendor has an incentive to cut corners because the whole market is cannibalistic and stuck in a race to the bottom. You see those cut corners as soon as you open the machine.
Re: feels and development work, its about not having your OS get in the way of your development. The Windows CLI is godawful once you've used any Linux CLI. And windows doesn't even ship with an SSH client FFS. Only plebs can get by without SSH out of the box.
Exactly everyone that owns a Mac or an iPhone is a fucking normie retard. They don't even know what Linux is. Yeah Linux is that free software that you can download off the internet for free that Apple decided to steal and tweak . Then they sell it to you morons for hundreds of dollars.
> uses Windows, the OS literally made for normies
> thinks he's not just another mouthbreathing normy
lololol. if you run Windows you're a faggot lumped in with every drooling welfare recipient looking for a computer
>$4k worth of macs
Why would you even need to tell me this? Is that number supposed to be impressive? It just shows how poor you are, lol.
yes
>uses Windows, the OS literally made for normies
The opposite is true.
I mean they aren't outright shitty. They're the same stuff everyone else has but because they market better. Id retards think Apple is extra special and pay way too much for their shit.
Then people get extra happy about all their Apple shit because they live in a bubble and think everything else explodes and dies
no... no its not.
every parent with a computer has Windows
every dumb af office assistant uses Windows
every pajeet tech support agent is sitting and using Windows
every clueless government employee uses Windows
Windows is made for normies. Anyone who makes a living from their computer uses either linux or mac. Are there plenty of morons who use Macs? Yes. But no developer worth their paycheck fucks with Windows unless they're working on antiquated systems and falling behind in their skills.
this desu senpai
and also this
But mainly, it seems like there's this huge bandwagon of hate against Apple from kids that can't even afford a Mac anyways. Something about muh vidya gaymes or muh build muh own gayming rig or some autistic shit. Yet the people who actually have Macs seem to love them. I think there's something to that "just works" mentality. Nobody wants to dick around trying to make Windows usable. Not normal people, anyways. You might think it's nothing, but most normies will tell you that they "hate computers" or "are bad with technology" unless they've used Macs.
FAGGOT BITCH, BECAUSE I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT. HAHA , POOR HAHA , BITCH BOY DIAPER BABY
Just because yours is the one that functions properly doesn't mean others arent crap.
GOOD POINT, I LIKE YOU THEN, THAT'S A GOOD REPLY
You're talking about a company who's entire design ethos is based off "Keep It Simple, Stupid".
Video Editor here and I use Windows. Have about 5 years of experience editing on Macs, was given the offer of having a iMac editing workstation for free by a friend... LAUGHED IN THEIR FACE.
I've never picked up an Apple product and been able to do what I want with the interface, there's always like twenty mouse clicks or a different way of pushing and pulling things on the touche interface... like when I first used someone's iPhone I was amazed by how non-intuitive and slow it was, this was a few years ago - i'll give you that, but for hearing "intuitive" for so many years I was struggling to figure out how to switch apps or zoom in on Google Maps.
And if you wanted to change a system setting, it was always hidden somewhere behind another thing... if you could even change it at all!
The other thing is I wouldn't know where the fuck to begin building up all my FFMPEG conversion scripts and all the custom built library of stuff I have to deal with my videos (does Apple even have support for DNxHD?). I really don't understand how a company that advertises themselves as for creatives makes their system so uncustomizeable. I mean when you think about REAL artists, sticking camel brush hairs in their mouth to make a fine tip, crafting their own tools - and Apple are like "no! Use it out of the box". It's like Stalinist era art., giving you a formula.
Well I want to fuck around with color values, I want to make a workflow that feels right FOR ME. I want to create my own interfaces.
Also, if I have to relearn from scratch - why wouldn't I just got to Linux?
