Why would I want to use software that you never tested on the target machine?
- bigyabai 1y agoBecause it's not 1982 anymore?
- scarface_74 1y agoI didn’t buy a Mac to use your lowest common denominator untested, unoptimized application that doesn’t take advantage of my hardware to its fullest.
- bigyabai 1y agoYou're using HN right now. The web is one of many types of write-once-run-anywhere software you are critically reliant on in your day-to-day life.
- scarface_74 1y agoAnd I run Safari - a browser built by Apple to be battery efficient, memory efficient and better optimized than Chrome and uses native frameworks and UI. My computer, the processor that runs in it, the operating system, much of the software and the rest of my computer life - phone, watch, set top device, tablet work together. I can copy text from one and paste it into the other. My watch unlocks my computer. My iPad can be used as a second monitor without any third party software. I bet you HN tested it on iOS if not the Mac and not just hope the site looks fine
