How exactly is this off-topic? How is the post I'm responding to is on-topic? That's fucking bullshit. Here's what the person I responded to wrote: > Seems like a reasonable and responsible solution to this issue. Perhaps

I run both Dell and Mac systems in my office too and my Dells regularly outperform and outlast my Macs. Not only that, but Dell offers premium support and they actually come onsite. Apple would rather waste your time so they can make their

This is incorrect. There is no feature of iOS that behaves even remotely like the universal Android back button.

> I thought most phones eventually moved to a software back button. The Android OS implements the software back button, not the apps...and it's always at the bottom of the screen where I can easily reach it. iOS does not implement a

The non-iPhone users don't send the blue text. Your sent texts are blue on your iPhone if you're messaging another iPhone user and it's green if not. Though, who actually cares about this and why? Anyway, I recently switched

The actual content of those comments hasn't really been addressed by these quick fixes though. Does this fix the other numerous and varied complaints about the Macbook Pro? Does it change the fact that they're not doing anything t

by WayneBro 10y ago
That would be missing the point entirely due to the fact that most users care more about ease of use and apps than "advanced configuration". Not sure why we have to "sit anybody down" either...that sounds a bit forceful

Nobody can call the new Macbook Pro "best in class" when they don't even ship with the best in class GPUs from Nvidia. These machines are essentially build beautiful traps. So, please don't give Apple your money. You don

OK, just to be clear: the Wikipedia article does not state this argument or really represent in any way. I'm just not sure who the criticism was directed towards.

by WayneBro 10y ago
Nope. But I didn't see any argument put forth in this article that equates to the "they're all just plants" argument... Care to point it out?

This article is the "they're all just plants" argument of technologists? I thought Wikipedia articles didn't have a point of view... Anyway... what's wrong with the "they're all just plants" argument

It counts as a real computer if you can program it with itself. That's my bar at least.

That's a good point - almost everywhere I go as a consultant...their IT people use the GUI to manage things and not PowerShell. Most places that I've seen automate things with a .NET program whether it's a service, a console

It's not widely used in the Windows world from what I can see. Walk into any office and ask an IT guy to run "ipconfig". They'll open up cmd.exe without even thinking about it. I read a lot of programming tutorials. Nobo

How long does that have to last for though? 1,000 years? Also, why is it so hard for you to understand that everyone doesn't agree with you on this and there are plenty of good reasons for that? > There are people in the US who have

Windows fan here. I hate PowerShell and I'd much rather have Bash built into Windows. Things I hate about PowerShell: - You can't even run your own scripts without performing the Set-ExecutionPolicy ceremony first or signing your

Well I have a very nice router that shows me all of the traffic on my network and I certainly do not see 5 GB of data going to Microsoft on any day.

I'm judging by the speed of the apps that run on top of the OS not the OS itself. Desktop apps specifically. For example, all of the browsers run slower and are klunkier on Linux. I'm with you on the telemetry. I just disabled it

Nope. I use Windows because I like it better than any other desktop OS. I also run Mac and Linux but I prefer Windows by far.

I think you explained it perfectly. A gimmick is a feature to get attention. It's not an indispensable future. It's not a necessarily very useful feature. It's just there to get attention.

The touch bar is the type of gimmick that Apple loves though, because that's what sells hardware. When OS X was released, the Dock was that gimmick. It added "curb appeal" and demoability according to Bruce Tognazzini, an ex-
