    That first paragraph isn't accurate.

    Really makes you wonder how many people are just buying because of marketing and psychology tricks.

    Butterfly keyboards. Lack of ports. That's just from memory. I'm sure Apple denies any faulty hardware as they did with their keyboards.

    So you have more pain points with Windows 10 than Apple corporation? My biggest pain are how Apple treats everyone, for the last 30 years. It's unbelievably frustrating.

    Can't really take this seriously when your first line is false.

    I'm not following why these are related. I use Linux for dev, I use windows for office and Photoshop. None of those require macOS.

    This sounds a tad irrational, but I also hate windows once every 4 years.

    That makes up for Apple being Apple?

    Hmm. I have considered that as well in the past. Although I'd be a bit skeptical that Apple would allow this (as others talk about). It seems extremely high risk, high cost, for an…

    Yeah heat and battery life are non issues. The iPhone is a good example because supposedly it's the fastest, but it doesn't feel like it. Maybe it's the animations, maybe it's the …

    My limited understanding of the brain is that programmers are able to put the pieces together by combining their memories and short term memory. But that's drastically different th…

    Something I'm just not understanding here. Why the obsession of single thread time in 2020? Give it 2 years and a competitor will beat it, Apple will be behind yet again and the pr…

    I think one of the biggest issues is that tech people are "know it alls". They make lots of money, they must be smart right? So when a friend disagrees the person doesn't consider …

    Apple has a significantly better marketing team too. Microsoft has struggled with their poor image, Apple embraced their poor image as "Different". Apple also played the luxury bra…

    You need to guarantee it happens. So you can't just use Wifi, you need to send it through the cellular provider. Also it only gets expensive if you are doing it to millions of cars…

    Literally go Google Tesla Infotainment issues. There are too many unique issues for me to point at one. Did you really want me to copy the first 10 links on Google?

    I'm thinking we need a new word that isn't "Engineer" for programmers. Engineering is Applied Science, Programming is not Applied Science. Programming is a combination of Art/Autho…

    I pointed this out at the start of the pandemic. We chose to prioritize the ~0.5% oldest, most obese people. We sacrificed the 99.5%. I genuinely wonder how people would answer a q…

    Apple could. Gucci could. Heck I've even seen GM put their logo on the Nissan Van. Also "simply not True" is you being incorrect. OTA always existed, it's just EXTREMELY expensive …

    You don't buy a Tesla for Quality. Tesla could put their logo on a Kia and it would sell to this demographic. If there is anything to learn from Tesla it's about marketing, not aut…

    Depends on your libraries. Also I'd highly recommend coming up with specifications for your computer you want. Don't just buy brands because you've seen them on tv.

    That's pretty much how I feel too. Nothing enticing because my computer is lightning fast and this means having to use the Apple ecosystem. It's almost like Apple has a culture of …

    Dev here, the burden of Apple far exceeds any claimed time savings. I think every dev knows exactly what I'm talking about. And if you aren't a dev, Apple treats us like replaceabl…
