I have a bug with Safari poor sync since about 4 years (passwords wouldn't correctly update both ways) but the tabs issue was also extremely annoying. I just went with chrome. I used to really like Safari, I really wanted to use it, bu

Windows is only worse if you don't consider the freedom of choosing the hardware it runs on and its ability to be modified to run as you see fit. Apple is really losing the plot because they really need their software to be good to sel

I am so glad that I'm not the only one thinking package managers are complete nonsense. Even on macOS I have always found Homebrew or MacPorts to be rather dumb (at least the latter is saner in some ways). Package managers have so many

Linux fanboys are completely delusional, if we listened to them, we would design an airliner cockpit with a keyboard and a single display to run a terminal and input everything as commands. They have just invested too much of their ego into

Microsoft takes its time and has a lot of inconsistencies but eventually gets to some sort of desirable convergence state. They are a lot less idealistic and have an approach of working on it slowly but surely in the open. Apple on the othe

Considering how good the hardware is supposed to be, iOS is not that great actually. This is why Androids that have benchmarks score way lower than iPhone can actually feel smoother to use. Apple is brute forcing the thing and making all th

But you know, Apple is a struggling company that doesn't have enough money to pay devs for documentation. /s obviously. Microsoft may produce some half-assed software but at least their documentation is generally pretty solid (and

Yep and they all suck. The hardware is nice but why do you pay so much to run shitty software that does not even focus on local stuff? If I want some cloud stuff, Google is cheaper... It's like buying a car because it looks very nice a

It's a meme created by idiots who for some reason wanted to shit on Apple. Hilariously now the same memers will defend Apple tooth and nails even though Apple has never been so bad at software. iTunes was a great software, even people

Yep. I have completely abandoned Apple Music (after 4 years with them and the destruction of my local library btw), it just sucks. Both on the phone and the mac. Spotify just works, it's faster, more pleasant and has the relevant featu

It's janky because it's poorly thought out and they tried to give too much with too little capacity. It's stupid that you have to stream for a phone in the first place when you could have something connected to power act as a

iTunes is one of the best software of all times, you are crazy. It existed before even OS X was a thing (under another name but still). It only became "problematic" when they tried to overload it too much to be able to "suppo

Well he explained the "reason": Apple makes it very easy for devs to choose the option they want, less work from the point of view of devs. All because they are constantly deprecating API/framework when in general they are ju

They were more "advanced" with the Siri release also, yet today it is barely competitive with the other assistant. Apple is very good at marketing, a lot less at delivering actual value, especially if it's not about hardware.

Apple defenders have some special sauce reasoning that makes no sense to anyone but them. Are you a boomer? I have Apple hardware but it sucks for anything AI, buying it for that purpose is just extremely dumb, just like buying Macs for eng

Ubiquiti was founded by some Apple employees after they closed their Airport division. I sincerely doubt they want to go through the trouble of collaborating with a company that was too greedy to keep investing in their network hardware. U

This is my experience as well. Geekbench heavily favors the type of workload that runs best on Apple hardware (those tends to be general case, most likely to be used by the mass) but in practice if you have complex software to run your expe

It used to be very true, but with Apple's popularity the second-hand market is quite saturated (especially since there are many people buying them impulsively). Unless you have a specific configuration, depreciation isn't much bet

Do you know you can buy them on refurbishment platforms like Backmarket ? They have a warranty up to one year, and any problem is resolved pretty quickly. It’s not as cheap as trying your luck in the various 2nd hand sites but if you value

I didn't say any of the weird questions/statement you try to pin me for. Maybe it doesn't make sense to you because you are confused? Then again, you are confused, I never said they were buying mindlessly. They buy it because

by seec 2y ago
Exactly. But Apple has so many low hanging fruits that anything that doesn't make billions is irrelevant to them. Apple is making way too much money for the good of their customers. If only people would stop mindlessly buying, they wou

I don't think he says it's not noticeable but that it doesn't matter. I'm in the same boat; I can notice it but it doesn't make much difference for my phone use case so it's largely irrelevant. It really depen

by seec 2y ago
Yep. And the incentive at Apple is to keep making people use more cloud and have them pay more for it so they can say they make more profit from the service division. It's quite bad, because it's a rug pull that Apple did. Before

There should never have been a "Pro" line in the first place. It's all about creating desire through marketing to make people spend more on the ladder. The iPhone 4 had stainless steel frame, yet they made a big deal of it wi

They did the modem because it's actually cheaper for them. They already bought the Intel division and had engineers work on it for over 5 years, so it's already sunk costs at best. Since they came up with a working design, it is F

You are missing the point. These types of "budget" phones that Apple does are for people who can't/won't buy the flagship (because too expensive) but wouldn't buy something second-hand either. There are a LOT o

Exactly. I had this MacBook. It is legendary, they made it at a great price point with most of the qualities and features of the more expensive Pros of the time. It didn't last long, they axed it the next year, figuring they were leav

I have considered flip phones as a replacement for a mini but it's just not the same thing at all when it comes to a smartphone. It makes the phone less durable for a useless screen size, its pocket ability isn't much better becau

I am wondering exactly the same. Maybe the standby costs? The chip needs to always have power to be able to receive the radio waves, it uses less power in that way but still quite a bit, I guess. The surprise is how much power that is. It&#
