I'm increasingly seeing the value of Apple style products where almost every part of the device from the hardware, to firmware, to OS, to UI is all from the same company.
The whole combined experience just makes things run so smoothly and allows security issues to be patched since Apple has the resources that maintain each part internally.
- pas 5y agoYeah, of course that works, for a while at least. Also developed in the open, patches are welcome, you can update your own NIC/GPU/Wifi-dongle components would work too. Unfortunately the whole industry (Apple as one of the main culprits) is quite hostile to anything like that. Though maybe we'll have a RedHat of hardware someday.
- darkwater 5y agoYeah, and as a side-effect you have to obey your one true lord.
- foxpurple 5y agoVs relying on 100 chip vendors who do not give two shits about you once the product is out the door.
