apple users in a nutshell

I wonder what it's like to still feel like this is relevant

Dude's got jokes from before the twin towers fell

Imagine still arguing PC vs Mac in 2023.
- It certainly was a gish gallop of pure nonsense. Made me nostalgic for PCMR a decade ago.
You may not realize it, but unless we're talking processors Apple almost always puts old tech in their devices.
Their laptops still sell with 8gb of slow RAM, and tiny hard drives. This is an upsell tactic so you pay them extortionate amounts for cheap upgrades. Then their computers... Oh man, just don't. They sell
that's $1,000, do we even need to go into the rest?
Even their phones STILL lack the latest features of their competitors. Though most competitors have vastly given up dramatic innovations. Check out the cameras, the screen refresh rates, the RAM, the screen brightness, and side-by-side user comparison testing of their poorly performing GPU's.
- I'm not a Mac stan by any measure. It just feels like a tired bit. How are people still laughing about this?

I’m trying to imagine having any part of my identity tied to an object.

I keep asking my IT department for the top-end MacBook Pro, but they keep denying my request. They always go on and on about how I am a Team Lead on the production line, and that there is no legitimate reason as to why I would need any laptop at all. Bunch of penny pinchers if you ask me. Hell, I’ve been asking for a company card since my interview! They laugh every time I bring it up—It’s like this some big joke. Though to be fair, they said if I show up on time each day to work, I get to keep my job.
- Why are you asking IT for these things, isn't this a request for idk accounting or some other department that is about spending money?
Same. I’d never buy one, but man are they nicer than anything else I’ve had.

What is this the 2010's again? Why are so many people shitting on people's choices? If you like something then do it. End of story. If someone gives you shit for that they are the asshole

Y'all need to get over yourselves

I'm sorry, but no. Apple is more than a "choice" - they have been damaging the progress of consumer technology for over a decade now. Their success in selling overpriced, dated, and uninnovative technology has driven all their competition to avoid "risky" innovation, and to mimic low-cost, consumer-hostile practices.
It's okay to shit on a company. What you're doing is defending a focused attack on a brand. Get over yourself. Apple doesn't need your help, they are the wealthiest company in the entire world right now.
- Bruh it’s not that deep. Just let people like what they like without shitting on them.
- The title says apple users but sure take the least graceful interpretation of things since this is Lemmy

Who made you butthurt OP?

I just like Logic Pro man

- Haven’t gotten around to those yet but I’ve made very good productions in Logic and I’ve only been producing for just under 2 years.

I am the unholy combo.

Apple and Linux

They make some nice hardware, if money were no object I'd probably get a MacBook and put Linux on it
- Yeah my logic is this, I have many computers and a Mac, one day apple will stop updating MacOS. When that happens I will install linux on my Mac.
- Bought a MacBook Air in 2012 lasted me until last year and I got a new one. The old one got Linux put in it and given to one of the kids still runs great.
  I don’t really think I can say that about any other laptops I have used over the years for work.

Much better to use a phone running an os built by an advertising company who decided that “don’t be evil” just isn’t them anymore.

A product isn’t just what parts go inside.

"Hey man, this bad thing that X group does isn't actually bad because their main competition, Y group, does something different that is also bad."
