people can't manage to block "malware" on a Windows system but somehow manage to use a dev tools? and the idea that a Mac costs the same or less as a dell/hp is ludicrous. the cheapest MacBook air is $1000, while a Windows laptop is $500. sorry to destroy your ideology but at least be honest and say I prefer a Mac and can afford it suck windows can pound sand.
- FredPret 3y agoEquivalent hardware. $500 does not buy you a Mac Air level laptop. And I am talking about power users, not the hypothetical grandma. Although grandma is ALSO better served by a Macbook.
- math_dandy 3y agoRegarding hardware for grandma, you misspelled iPad.
- FredPret 3y agoCorrect, grandma should use an iPad. Big screen, big fonts, plays Wordle, does Facetime, doesn't even have a terminal. I love my iPad for video and games like chess. Even some people who draw like theirs for that.
- runjake 3y ago+1 and it's very hard for Grandma's iPad to accrue malware, which is a welcome change.
- hot_gril 3y ago> people can't manage to block "malware" on a Windows system but somehow manage to use a dev tools? Yes, cause maybe it's a work machine and they don't want to (or aren't allowed to) screw with the system, whether it's by messing with the registry or especially installing some debloater.
