    That’s weird, bruh, I never felt like I was being anti-consumered by any apple shit. Foreign green bubbles are trying to claw apple backwards instead of moving themselves forward.

          Up until you want to do anything Apple doesn’t approve of. Like, say, sideload apps that aren’t in the app store. Or install an alternate OS. Or get root access to your own damn device. Or swap out parts yourself. Or anything beyond being a boring-ass social media consumer.

            or keep using your device after you dropped it. or keep using the same device long enough for the battery to wear out. or use the same charger on your phone as you would use on any other device.

            it’s frickin ludicrous how apple users whose devices break prematurely just go and buy another device from apple, as opposed to doing the sane thing and buying from a different company. like after my lenovo laptop wiped its own bios on a forced “upgrade” i’m sure as fuck not buying lenovo, but if an apple device encountered the same error 9 out of 10 users would just go and wire daddy tim apple another $1500 for a replacement. like wtf, why would they not enforce failures if that’s how their users behave

              My friend, I have dropped an iPhone in an otter box multiple times from about 10 feet up onto concrete and no breaks. Although I have broken a screen or two before I started using good cases and applecare got me in and out in like 20 minutes. Also I kept my previous iPhone long enough for two battery replacements and both were done trivially easy with apple care, no cost to me. 😉

            Sure thing, bud! I had a jailbreak from about 2010 until 2022. The only thing I’m missing out on is location spoofing and piracy. I also have a dev account so I can side load shit if I want. I mean, you’re so buttfurious and still have green bubbles, so none of the stuff you use to angle for superiority matters. 🤣

          Sure, in prison too everything just works, plus you have 3 meals a day and a lot of spare time. You just get fucked by some stronger dude any time he wants.
          And that’s exactly Apple: it fucks you any time he wants.
          Want the new OS on your totally capable 2017 pc? Fuck you
          Want to use your warranty but you used an off brand charger onca at your friend’s house? Fuck you
          That would be 2000$

            Testimony: I use a 2015 iGPU rig with an i5 6500 and 16gb ddr4.

            Runs well, I can do all sorts of things on it.

            If some game doesn’t run well and I got cash, I’m taking a bus to SP road and buying a good used GPU.

            Cheap, reliable, serviceable. Only 1 of which apple’s products are.

      …green bubbles are because apple doesn’t want to move forward with everyone else, they want to have their own walled garden so that people like you say exactly what you just said. their lightning connector is quite literally an outgrowth of usb-c before usb-c was even done, as far as that issue goes its apple trying to go backwards not the rest of the industry. the rest of the industry moved past proprietary charging connectors almost 15 years ago.

      Like i dont care if you use an iphone it’s like complaining that you use chrome instead of firefox, its just stupid. So why do you apple people care that I use a samsung?

              Ok? It looks pretty cool. I’m really not anti apple like you think I am lol. I’d be more concerned about preordering in general than it being apple but I’m not going to berate you for it or anything.

                Buddy, I have to be the one to pre order it so you see it in action and go “damn I should have got one, I want one now but I can’t get one” and then you get to buy the even better vision pro 3GS.

                  I mean I probably won’t since it’s like $3500 but like, ok? You act like I’m telling you not to buy it. I have a quest 2 and had a rift in 2016, I am already on board with vr/ar, you don’t need to convince me. If I had the money I’d have had a hololens in like 2016.

        Damn bro, imagine showing up to the first client meeting with some fartbox gateway 2000 laptop running some pirated copy of windows 7 because you refuse to upgrade with some pirated copy of photoshop but not the new one because you can’t quite get that working or even worse done flavor of Linux trying to convince them that GIMP is just as good as real photoshop and is even better because it’s open source. Then some one slides in with a MacBook Pro and real photoshop and they politely ask you to leave. Lol again.

          I honestly won the last 2 job selections because I was “the linux guy”: my emplyers understood that I can operate a pc better that the average mac or windows user and chose me over other people for that reason.
          So what your saying it doesn’t apply to all use cases

            Honestly it might not be the best idea to let employers know you’re willing to put in extra hours and hours of work just to get something trivial like audio working because that makes you look like an exploitable mark. But hold fast to those values and ride them into the ground because of a decision you made 15 years ago and because you think Steve Jobs was gay. lolol.

              Being a linux user doesn’t mean I’ll put in more hours at work, it just means that in the same amount of time I’ll have more stuff done, or that it takes less time to learn new stuff because I already know how some things work.

              But hold fast to those values and ride them into the ground because of a decision you made 15 years ago and because you think Steve Jobs was gay

              I don’t have any particular idea (good or bad) about the character of SJ, except for the fact that I think he was an excellent salesman. And the characteristic of an excellent salesman is to lure you into a bad deal by convincing you that you’ll end up on the upper side.
