   It kind of feels like Apple makes the MacBook Pro only so there is a platform for people to make apps for thier main market - phones (and iPads?). So why not make the hardware almost the same I guess

   I'm still afraid to run Catalina. I have to use it on one laptop (me hardware) an it is slow and problematic. I've had actual system crashes. I can't remember the last time that happened pre Catalina

   Would you buy a MacBook Pro that you cannot install Linux or Windows on?

   I've already been pushed away from Apple after the death of 32-bit. I tried the 2020 MacBook Pro but I ran into many problems, including software support, constant beach balls, and shorter battery life than my old laptop. I assume most

   I haven't heard of that! But it sounds like it might be game related, so I probably haven't found it due to lack of interest.

   I think the article is based on current trends, not on US politics.

   I dislike the popups asking if I want notifications, I never allow them. Stop that now please!

   Permission fatigue ends up being nearly the same as having no permissions. Who just keeps clicking Yes without reading the fine print?

    I can't login or signup for some reason so I guess I can't look at it today.

    I am getting more and more annoyed as Google increasingly corrects my language to the wrong thing.

    I have never used the app store except to install macOS from time to time. Everything I need I can buy or download through the web. I also use Windows and Linux depending on my use case, and so I buy multi platform licences where it makes s

    I would just like to have Mojave kept stable for a few years, security updates included. Keep macOS as a solid platform, and add features through apps. That's pretty much all Apple seems to do each release, make new applications and ad

    No, they just suffer through a sluggish experience and don't know any better.

    Apple used to say "Think Different" - perhaps allowing individuality and creativity. Overwhelmingly, it now feels like they want us all to think in the same Apple ordained way.

    1. American companies: don't piss off China. 2. American companies: make more money than ever before from China. 3. China now controls those companies even without holding majority shares. 4. ...

    If Apple has "removed" the Taiwanese flag now, soon maybe they'll automatically translate what people say into NewSpeak which is acceptable for the China market. Just saying...

    I play games on my Mac when I can play them on my PC (travelling is one reason for this). I try buy my games DRM free on GOG, and play them either on Mac or through Steam streaming (yes you can load non steam games). My Mac game library is

    I'm still holding back from upgrading my hardware (my 2013 Macbook Pro is still going strong with no maintenance required). For one, the butterfly keyboard issues have really put me off the newer laptops. It seems like everyone I know

    Apple is clearly focused on making money at all costs. It feels like breaking into the Chinese market is focusing all their business decisions - particularly the focus on cheaper phones, one OS to rule them all.

    It's not like there's a limit on space. Also this is a choice, and having choices is pretty good IMHO.
