    Article writer is a wimp.  As for myself, I don't allow Apple products in my house.

    Jake Havechek: Article writer is a wimp.  As for myself, I don't allow Apple products in my house.


    I was on a 15 year streak.

    Then I got an M2 Mac. Now I hate the software. It's so bad I had to install a program just to snap a window to the left half and right half of the screen.

    But damn if it isn't responsive and with great battery life

    This started out as a promising horror movie in which a bunch of assholes are brutally murdered in Portugal, but it became a complete disappointment.

    I've had Apple computers off and on since the Pismo PowerBook G3. There are always usability issues like that. I currently have a M1 Pro MacBook Pro that I (mostly) like. But simple stuff like keeping it from going to sleep or snapping windows to halves/quadrants of the screen require shelling out money in the app store. Which I think is intentional at this point.

    Someone described it to me.

    Windows will just do what you want out of the box
    Linux will do what you want once you set it up
    Apple will do what you want once you pay someone

    /it just works

    I couldn't finish that.  I suspect there are a few reasons this writer was omitted from the text group, but his phone was not one of them.

    Zealotry in all its forms is idiotic. I hate it with the heat of a 1000 suns.

    Those wouldn't provide a 'good reason' to exclude the writer

    Most of my family have iPhones. I have Android on a Surface Duo 2. We do not have the problems mentioned in the article. Once again, I feel like I must be doing something wrong because I don't have the same technical problems that others seem to have.

    To be fair, I do not like Apple products or Android, even though I have a M1 Mac Mini and an iPhone 8 that I use for development. I loved my Lumia 950XL running Windows 10 Mobile - RIP.

    Android is Linux.

    So that means if you know what you're doing, it's great, otherwise it's confusing.

    I bought my dad an iPhone because I didn't want to teach him how to use his phone. One day, I saw a bunch of iphone charges on my card and apparently he went crazy buying a bunch of stuff and I left my card in his phome wallet. Welp, that was your birthday present, old man.

    I try not to be prejudiced towards Apple product users.  However, every time I speak to one they go on and on about how much they like their Apple product that it crosses a line of normal enthusiasm. Then it doesn't help when they look at me like an alien when they find out I don't use an iPhone.

    I liked how she thinks Google, a company with the product attention span of a goldfish, should come up with yet another solution to messaging.

    /Stopped reading when she called Samsung phones "cheaper"

    Watch Dagon if you want that kinda story.

    Lovecraftian horror is so good once you deracify it. His views on race, extreme in his own day, have aged poorly.  And for gods' sakes don't google his cat.

    BetterSnapTool? It's the first thing I bought like eight years ago when I got my first modern mac at work. I simply could not believe Microsoft managed to put something so useful in Windows and Apple seemed to think irregularly shaped windows all over the desktop were acceptable.

    I think it was called rectangle.

    If you seriously think less of a person because they have a different brand of cell phone then you are a vapid coont and I'm glad to not associate with you.

    That's as far as I got. I'm a shiatty CSB writer, but not even interesting to get over the fact that you start by telling me things that obviously won't matter.

    Presumably they were all already using one or more apps that better suited the purpose and facilitated cross comms, so the good news is that whilst you've discovered that you don't have any friends, potentially they weren't merely arseholes, but really stupid arseholes.

    I used an Android phone for years while my wife used an iPhone, and yet somehow our marriage survived. And come to think of it, I was never excluded from group chats among my iPhone using friends.

    Weird that the writer experienced this incredible (and very clearly real) discrimination, and it surely has nothing to do with them being insufferable.

    That's exactly the type of nonsense I'd expect to hear from an Android user.

    If your "friends" make fun of you because of your phone. You need new farking friends. You also should not give a shiat.
