Apples not been worth it for pro users for a good decade. The only thing it's been good for is a litmus test of users care for ethics in computing.
The whole iPad will eat MacBook business so let's cuck its capabilities is insanely wasteful. Like should be illegal levels of wasteful given the current climate of consumption and climate change problems facing us.
Apple and their whole culture of product rollout and consumption is a massive part of our wasteful problem as a global society. Terrible company really.
- jb1991 2y ago> Apples not been worth it for pro users for a good decade. I'm curious what you mean by this. In my country, a large percentage of developers are often seen working on Macs, and these are not developers of iOS or macOS apps, they just like using linux tools but on a non-linux OS UI. Visit a Clojure conference, for example, and notice how many are using macs. Same is true in many other engineering communities.
- gtvwill 2y agoEh I see that amongst the IT world. But when I'm onsite at manufacturing businesses or industrial organizations it's all windows. Same with all the non-pro user but professional services I engage with like cafes or hotels. MacOS is just a nightmare to run the basic infra these companies require. It often times doesn't even run the software that's required. These industries don't want cloud apps. They want robust standalone systems than run for the better part of a decade with minimal inputs or maintenance. Apple and the cloud and working on vms or remote servers or using some web app is not that. Linux is also usually out of the question as setup and customisation is not something they want to pay for. They want apps they purchase and then install once, setup once and that's it.
