Windows is most definitely not a fucking viper. Try Reliant Robin
People saying switch windows and Mac to make modern but I’m pretty sure that kids toy is going to have less bugs and is much less likely to crash. It’s also streamlined and does what you expect it to quickly. I don’t know if that’s what Macs are like but it’s definitely not my experience with windows.
I think I first saw this (or something close) on reddit in like 2010 which even then was dated. Really brings me back in a “that shit fucking sucked” way.
sorts by controversial
Lies. I see no cameras and keyloggers on the windows side.
I was going to say that to make this accurate they need to show the complete car for windows.
There is a copilot in the passenger seat writing down everything you do and making suggestions left and right, and the screen has to have ad’s on it.
The back seats are empty and the rear doors are locked because you don’t havn’t licensed them.
This is Mac
And this is Windows
I’d reverse Windows and Mac. Mac is sleek, smooth, pleasant, well integrated, solid, stable, and has a good shell. They have great machines with great specs and are well built. They also take some learning to become efficient with.
Windows on the other hand, is cheap, buggy, ugly, unstable, comes pre-packaged with flashy junk, breaks easily, any child can use it and then break it.
I completely agree. As a software developer I preferred when I had a Mac whereas our company uses Windows and Microsoft for everything and it just meh.
Mac was so easy to do everything from the terminal or the search bar.
Plus I like how they have the Homebrew packaging system to install pretty much anything you need.
Windows has something similar with chocolatey but it’s just not as complete. It’s not *nix apps either.
The only way that has any accuracy is if the Linux photo has a button that quite literally manages most of the other buttons for you, and the more complicated stuff exists really only if you want to do it manually.
You can get by just fine literally never touching any of those buttons day-to-day. But they’re there for the people who want to get down in the mud with their operating system.
Remove the chocks, fire up the engines, head to the taxiway. Checklists and walkarounds are for noobs. If you get some red flashing lights, just do like the flight sim videos and tell it to shhhh.
Flip Windows and macOS and I think the meme works again.
I think there is an argument to be made here. About window shitty, inconsistent, obscure ui. That you constantly have to Google to figure out where are your settings. unlike macOs much more streamline UI
I’ll take any excuse that I can get to dump this story somewhere. A relative of mine has bought an iMac. She created some videos with it. After some time has passed, the Mac’s native Apple media player (I forgot the name) refused to play the videos she has created with the Apple iMac software. But it conveniently pointed her to a 20 € “upgrade” that she could buy to make it work again. She asked me for help, I installed MPV instead. Worked like a charm. On an unrelated note, that thing is glued together, and the storage is soldered on, likewise is the ram.
“Apple’s design is so simple!”. Why do people put up with this trash?
Yeah, Macs are great if all your other stuff is Apple and all your subscriptions are Apple and all your cloud is Apple and you buy a new $2k unrepairable computer and go along with whatever huge changes Apple brings.
And they are actually quite user friendly… until something doesn’t work, or you want to reach out of its approved purview.
They are also dev friendly too, but the hurdle for that is high enough that one might consider Linux at that point.
But on your point, say what you will about Windows and all the UI garbage and bloat MS adds, but underneath, it is utterly stagnant, lol.
They are also dev friendly too,
Not saying you’re wrong because I don’t use it, but from the outside, they appear actively hostile toward developers.
You have to “unlock” them with a lot of tweaks. And to be clear, I’m just saying they’re better than Windows. Ugh, trying to compile anything on Windows…
Hardware wise, they’re far better for local code assistants, too, with the exception of a few exotic AMD laptops just now coming out.
I decided to switch to mac a couple of years ago. I have been extremely unhappy with the results. I have a good mechanical keyboard which is built for both PC and Mac (it has Mac-specific keys), but nope, compability sucks and keybindings are messed up across a lot of the keys, making it basically a guessing game each time I need a paranthesis. I usually work within a Linux VDI. Within the VDI, keybindings are further messed up, making it hard to find the correct keys, even on the integrated laptop keyboard. I have a usb-c connected screen/docking station which only connects properly about 75% of the time. I have a stream deck which randomly refuses to connect, making me have to unplug and replug every now and then. I regularly want to connect to multiple display, which often turns put to be unsupported and basically impossible.
To me, it just seems like compability for mac is completely terrible. A lot of the issues could be solved by throwing more money at apple - by getting an apple keyboard or apple screen or subscription software - but for stubborn people like me, apple is not getting a dime for these kind of issues. None of these issues existed before I got the mac.
I am leaving the apple ecosystem for good when my company allows me to get a new machine.
This is some boomer level “hurr hurr” bullshit that is just patently not true. Keep giving Microsoft credit it doesn’t deserve.
Right? Windows is like a Tesla. One of those wankpanzers that cut off your fingers, brick in the car wash and immolate their drivers.
The trashing of the Apple machines is undeserved, but the Windows one is relatively accurate.
Windows is the thing that everybody uses, like a car. But, it should be a modern car where the car manufacturer requires you to pay a yearly subscription to unlock basic features that shipped with the car. It’s a car that you can’t fix yourself, and have to take to an authorized service station where they pay a fee to get access to the tools that allow them to diagnose the car.
I don’t know what the Mac one should be. A modern Mac is really powerful. It’s a Unix machine with a clean and polished UI. But, it’s true that it shields the average user from the complexity if they don’t want to dig deeper. Maybe it’s a modern Bugatti. A luxurious vehicle that has obscene power under the hood.
As much as I hate MacOS I love their interface aesthetic.
MacBooks are legitimately just superior laptops, especially now that apple silicon is well supported. I don’t like iPhones or their desktops, but the laptops are pretty much unmatched in terms of portability, features, battery life etc
I am an unabashed Linux stan but I use a macbook to ssh into my Linux boxes because there is no Linux laptop which is half as good.
And it’s an official Unix system, which seems to bother some Linux users.
POSIX compliance jealousy? 🤪
If you access the guts of a Mac through CLI tools, I have some questions. Is it legal from the Apple point of view? Will it void your warranty?
No, using a Mac won’t void the warranty. It’s not a secured platform in the way iOS or a game console is.
I’d still never buy it, but it’s good to know.
There are a couple of safeguards, but by and large you can. And
terminalis a pre-installed Apple app, of course it’s Apple “approved.”And a lot of those safe guards (like the System Integrity Protection) can be turned off, if that’s what you like. The terminal together with the homebrew package manager make macOS a really good place to be, if you can’t get rid of some software that won’t run on Linux (like the Adobe suite).
Anyone can become an official unix system if they would pay up. Random rhel rebuilts were ‘official unix system’ at one point or another.
That’s why I use Pop!_OS as my daily driver distro.
Same. Clean, modern, responsive.
Most importantly: decluttered.
Pop!_OS gang rise UP!!
Reporting for duty!
MacOS is so much better than Windows in every way. The amount of software available is crazy. So many nice apps, menubar tools, finder alternatives etc. And they’re generally nicely designed and updated, which very much isn’t the case for Windows. Using Windows has been a horrible experience for the past 20 years, and it wasn’t great before that. Want some basic simple app for a specific thing? It’s either some heavily bloated shit that costs money and takes up way more system resources than it needs to or it’s a several-decades-old thing that just doesn’t work anymore.
It’s an older meme sir but it doesn’t check out anymore.
windows is the one that should be the toy wheel here.
macos is unix, and quite solid
and im a big apple hater.
I have always hated Apple the company… the products are way too overpriced and nerfd but Ok overall
Lol, call me back when they support bsd jails. Or a five button mouse. Or a decent amount of RAM. Or a package manager. Or more than 2 ports. Or an SDCard slot
My 2022 macbook pro has a charging port, four USB-C ports (one of which can be used for charging as well), an HDMI port, a minijack port, and an SD card slot.
I use homebrew for package management, and have yet to be dissatisfied with that.
This machine also happens to have 32 GB of RAM.
I don’t know about mouse-support, but I mostly use my keyboard for everything, and have yet to miss having more than two buttons and a scroll wheel on my mouse. With my previous (2012) macbook however, I used a five-button mouse sometimes.
Really don’t know where you get your info on macs, but you it seems you missed the phone when you were called back sometime around 2010.
Brew is shit. I’ve had to use it, and wouldn’t chose to ever again. 32gig of RAM? For professional work? What is this, 2009? 4 ports is good, and good to hear about the sd-card finally. And you’re supporting the mac mouse? With the charging port on the bottom?
You may think it fine. But for the money I think Macs are vastly inferior to a decent thinkpad, dell, or even HP
What are you smoking that 32gb of RAM is 09? 32gb is more than enough for most users in 2025, hell 16gb is still quite enough for most use cases.
Most mac users I’ve known either use the touchpad or MX Master, very few use the magic mouse. And build quality is much better than the equivalent plastic garbage from HP or Dell.
i mean, its obviously no linux…
wait, it doesn’t support five button mice?
no way this has to exist 😂
