> Not anymore. Consumer usage nowadays is very browser centered, which is something one can experience with a Linux distro on pretty much any machine. Browser apps need connection. Most of the services are also subscription based.

I agree. I thought iPhones do theirs on-device.

Then people will probably get what they deserve. Can't have their cake and eat it too.

Apple PR....is very well funded I would assume.

Don't hold your breath. Majority of people would trade security and openness for convenience and profit. I think we are handing over the future of tech to these few tech giant megacorps.

I also don't get about this complaint about Windows. I had as much problems with as my Macbook...which is almost always never.

Okay, I do see why it would affect pricing then if they are forced to be in the App store. I always thought that they would be handled the same way as desktop. In any case, I am still waiting for Logic Pro or Ableton to be ported to the iPa

Are we moving into a world where OS venders will try to do vertical software and hardware integrations? Because it seems that only Apple is doing it and it is paying off.

On the non-Apple side, it will be interesting what AMD does with the 5nm node.

I envy writers in a sense. Their job doesn't require fast hardware so the computer is always waiting for them. Programmers have to deal with compilation wait times, lack of RAM slowing down workflows, network latency, etc. We have to w

I wonder if Ableton 11 is already compatible with the new M1 Macbooks.

You guys must have some generic or Apple specific workflows since you are confident that the software is already supported.

Seems right. Although I chose Ableton because it's cross platform even if I do guitar primarily.

I wonder how iOS Logic Pro would handle plugins.

Some people want an all-in-one computer. They don't want a separate desktop for heavy tasks.

Never rely on first party claims. Always wait for 3rd party benchmarks.

The only time that there would be enough touch bar bashing is when Apple listens and give users an option to have function keys instead.

I still don't believe this the case until proven otherwise. We cannot make an assumption that users don't care about X when they are not allowed to do X in the first place.

We are losing the war because those who are supposed to fight for general computing are ceding ground to the duopoly due to a myriad of reasons(convenience, "security", ease of use, etc)

That's a bit presumptuous to generalize people's motivation to buy an iDevice.

I agree. Location is very important here. If one likes to work in Southeast Asia for example, it doesn't take FAANG money to enjoy living there.

Resume Driven Development is a thing for a reason. If your team is always gonna be small, then how are you going to learn the stuff that scales? Are you going to wait get a job that allows you to do so?

That "rage mode" nomenclature might potentially come back to bite them.

It could also be that the stats point to heavy MacOS use before. But trends change.
