I wonder what it’s like to still feel like this is relevant
Dude’s got jokes from before the twin towers fell
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.”
I’m trying to imagine having any part of my identity tied to an object.
I get my MacBooks from employers. That’s it.
They’re way better than the shitbox windows machines most companies hand out.
Never buy Mac shit yourself
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?
Shit that’s a great idea! I should make a presentation, just to really “wow” them. I could show it at our next safety and wellness meeting. I’m not invited to those meetings, but I’m sure they wouldn’t mind!
Who made you butthurt OP?
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.
I’m not shitting on people at all. I never say a word to my friends with iphones and macs unless they specifically try to convince me they are the best.
I’m shitting on Apple. A company. Despite what some politicians want you to believe, I don’t think companies are people.
