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 not laughing... I find the whole thing kind of depressing. Real talk, though... I'm just as pissed off at Google and many other huge companies.
I'm tired of huge companies exploiting the ignorance of average folks and damaging the progression of consumer technology. We deserve better than this.
If Apple sold their products for a pittence, I'd be their absolute biggest fan. They not only push aggressively overpriced tech, but they convince impressionable people to buy into their "ecosystem".
What the heck is that, even? What is their "ecosystem"? Macs, iPads and iphones all work with windows and Linux. Heck, Mac IS Linux at a core level. I'll tell you what it is... George Carlin give me strength, because "it's all bullshit, and it's BAD for you."
Mac is not Linux. They're similar, but not the same
I never claimed Linux and Mac were exactly the same. They are both kernals of UNIX. Though they differ, they use the same "core".
