    I’m convinced people who post these haven’t actually used apple devices seriously without going into it with their superiority complex. the fluidity and peace of mind not having to find fucking drivers for some shit from 2004 that have long been consumed by time it just plugs in and works. Or the fact that for instance a MacBook comes with everything you need to say decompress a file without downloading winrar or 7zip it’s built in. The apple version of ms office comes with the device. Not to mention the software being specifically written for the hardware means i haven’t had a day ruining crash in so long i can’t remember. Not having God damn ads on my desktop you gotta be kidding me. Text messages on all my devices. My mouse and keyboard on my mac can automatically control my iPad. Sure you can kinda do these things on the bootleg os’s kinda sorta but when it comes out of the box like that and i don’t have to fuck with 20 3rd party apps and ads on everything is 10000% worth it to me.

      The walled golden garden is great isn’t it?

      I am forced to use a MacBook at work and I fricking hate it. The software follows such strange HIGs. Just look at the finder. Why is the default action on a folder/file to RENAME it? If I press enter on a folder I want to enter it, if I press enter on a file I want to open it.

      Why does apples keyboard layout with DEde Locale is so utterly strange compared to IBM keyboard layouts?

      Why do they not print atleast the second modifier row on the keys?

      To use Macintosh’s you really need to think differently.

      But yeah the interconnection inside it’s eco system is pretty neat.

      Also, why whine about drivers for something from 2004? You, certainly as a apple user, don’t have anything that old anyway. And the option to be able to use stuff from that age by installing a driver is super useful.
