He's literally autistic or something. He doesn't get the idea. You could literally post a video of an Android vs iPhone setup to show there's little difference and he wouldn't get it.

That's why I just started fucking around and trying to get a rise out of him instead of forming coherent arguments after the third or fourth reply and now he thinks I actually give a shit if he has an iphone. lol

''They are overpriced, overhyped rigs mostly used by snobs, hipsters and people who shake their money at others.''

I still maintain this position of mine from earlier. That money is just not worth it so I can click 10 buttons instead of 12. (Last one is sarcastic exaggeration of course, but you get the idea.)

At the end of the day, I disagree with you, but at least you can string sentences that make sense one after the other instead of being an npc who spouts shit like 'have sex incel' thinking he's clever.
 
I also maintain the position that a good Windows rig with the right program can match a mac in practical value, while being maybe a little bit cheaper even. That small difference could be barely enough for a beer and pizza, but that is something too.
Also, you spouted stuff about 'going back to reddit' and 'true nerds with linux setups'. That is not clever either.
Just because one points out what is obvious, for those experienced, about overrated bling hardware does not instantly make one a liberalist whiner, nor does that person imply Linux Master Race just for bringing up some of Linux's merits.
 
You call it overrated bling hardware right after admitting that in order to match prices in terms of practical value, you'd have to invest more or less similar amounts of money (and a whole lot more maintenance).

Do you think that the people who spend that kind of money for a windows rig are snobs, hipsters and people who wave cash at others as well?

Anyway as I said, I have no desire to argue about this, I explained why I prefer to use mac products for now, if I find an easier/better alternative in the future then I'll consider it, but I have zero desire to get involved in the equivalent of star wars vs star trek debate level debate about this shit.
 
What the fuck is this autistic slap fight, I just wanted to find some info on iPad and shit.
 
I'll be straight up honest, the only reason I still use android is because I can pirate and download apps like YT Vanced. If they removed that feature, I'd probably switch to an iPhone. I like Samsungs OS and have been called a nutcase for it, so take that as you will.

Samsung phones fall apart in 50 different ways with only a couple years of use. I say this with experience. I don't think this is purely due to their software but I can partly blame that.

I can't stand Samsung's logic in their phones. I tend to buy midrange so that I can still actually have a headphone jack. Modern tech companies are on some weird shit.
 
If Apple allowed you to install apps from outside the app store like Android did, had an an extendable memory with microSD cards, plus quit their shitty practice of not allowing you to self-repair or have it repaired on other places besides their authorized service centers or apple stores, I'd actually move over to an iPhone thanks to the longer software support alongside good account and device security measures.

They stopped bundling their new phones with earpods and chargers, coupled with the heinous anti repair practice they are doing it makes them look like a bunch of scummy fucks. That's a huge no for me.

Yes, well, if my aunt had wheels and handlebars, she'd be a tricycle.

Is anyone really upset about their phones not having USB adapters anymore? I have more adapters than I have devices that can use them.

It's just a bit that personally annoys me since the moment they introduced that on the same release from last year, they also rolled out their anti-repair BS so it makes me think that they've just looked for ways to get more money from their customers and that was one of their plans, in a guise to "save the environment".

They really got their shit together for the Note series after the entire Note 7 line were literal ticking time bombs. Who knows if that's still the case with the newest ones, but the Note 8 and 9s were pretty good.

For the price that iPhones cost, it's annoying to not have it come with one. Apple's are generally the nicest ones I have in my adapter drawer, and they're something that's good to have extras of, since they're easy to lose.

They're stagnant and boring. Most apps now use a fucking subscription model where you pay a monthly fee to unlock everything, often with a nearly useless free option and no way to buy anything outright. Gay Tim Cook now scans your photos so he can jerk off to your dick pics. The app store still has artwork that causes cancer. I'd tell you to buy an alternative, but who the hell knows if there's a good one yet. Microsoft Surfaces look neat, but I don't know much about them. I have no clue why nobody cared enough to wrangle the Android tablet market, aside from Amazon making really cheap ones to help sell their services.

We have a ton of them at work. People love them as business laptops because they're small and light and have the little Microsoft dock that can connect and disconnect a bunch accessories in one go, but no one I know actually ever detaches the keyboard cover and uses them as a tablet.

Oh god damn it :(
Why can't there be any Android tablets that are at least comparable to iPads? The ones I've used in the past sucked in one way or another.
