Do Macs not "work"?
- meekrohprocess 6y agoThey work fine, as long as you never update them within 3 weeks of a new OS release. And if Apple's authentication servers are up. Using them at work is a blessing and a curse.
- dijit 6y ago> Do Macs not "work"? Not even close to as well as iPhones do. Speaking from personal experience I've had a few apps crash on my phone for sure, but overall it's the most "solid" computing experience I have ever had outside of Solaris. MacOS on the other hand? Frequently gets itself into a state where "WindowServer" is consuming half my memory, or some network kerfuffle stops me being able to reach anything for a few minutes, or it kernel panics. Not to mention the bloody updates which unlink GCC/CLANG but kinda keep it around which means I have to go clean my drive manually and crap. Ugh, exhausting. Sometimes I consider going back to linux for work honestly.
