We found the Stockholm Syndrome guy
Up until you want to do anything Apple doesn't approve of. Like, say, sideload apps that aren't in the app store. Or install an alternate OS. Or get root access to your own damn device. Or swap out parts yourself. Or anything beyond being a boring-ass social media consumer.
or keep using your device after you dropped it. or keep using the same device long enough for the battery to wear out. or use the same charger on your phone as you would use on any other device.
it's frickin ludicrous how apple users whose devices break prematurely just go and buy another device from apple, as opposed to doing the sane thing and buying from a different company. like after my lenovo laptop wiped its own bios on a forced "upgrade" i'm sure as fuck not buying lenovo, but if an apple device encountered the same error 9 out of 10 users would just go and wire daddy tim apple another $1500 for a replacement. like wtf, why would they not enforce failures if that's how their users behave
It's not "no cost to me" if you paid for apple care
We are all laughing at you, not angry at you.
Forcing you to “jailbreak” your own device is insulting. Why the hell are you not insulted by that?
Aren't you the one with green bubbles? I can set them to whatever color I want.
Sure, in prison too everything just works, plus you have 3 meals a day and a lot of spare time. You just get fucked by some stronger dude any time he wants.
And that's exactly Apple: it fucks you any time he wants.
Want the new OS on your totally capable 2017 pc? Fuck you
Want to use your warranty but you used an off brand charger onca at your friend's house? Fuck you
That would be 2000$
Testimony: I use a 2015 iGPU rig with an i5 6500 and 16gb ddr4.
Runs well, I can do all sorts of things on it.
If some game doesn't run well and I got cash, I'm taking a bus to SP road and buying a good used GPU.
Cheap, reliable, serviceable. Only 1 of which apple's products are.
Apple hardware is rather shoddy, so yeah, an extended warranty probably is warranted.
Or, y'know, buying something that's not shoddy.
Haha true
However, I've had this "apple experience" with xiaomi too
I just unlocked the bootloader and side loaded another OS after a year of no regular nor security updates
fuckin a how god damn stupid are you? this "green bubble" shit is hilarious, you want to suck Tim Cooks cock so fucking bad you are making up pejoratives for people not using an iPhone, how much of a fucking cuck do you have to be?
oh I KNOW you are a massive fucking cuck no question about that one, you have your head so far up your ass you think this makes you cool, when it just makes you a fucking dweeb.
....green bubbles are because apple doesn't want to move forward with everyone else, they want to have their own walled garden so that people like you say exactly what you just said. their lightning connector is quite literally an outgrowth of usb-c before usb-c was even done, as far as that issue goes its apple trying to go backwards not the rest of the industry. the rest of the industry moved past proprietary charging connectors almost 15 years ago.
Like i dont care if you use an iphone it's like complaining that you use chrome instead of firefox, its just stupid. So why do you apple people care that I use a samsung?
whatever you say dude, I'm glad you like your iphone.
Ok? It looks pretty cool. I'm really not anti apple like you think I am lol. I'd be more concerned about preordering in general than it being apple but I'm not going to berate you for it or anything.
I mean I probably won't since it's like $3500 but like, ok? You act like I'm telling you not to buy it. I have a quest 2 and had a rift in 2016, I am already on board with vr/ar, you don't need to convince me. If I had the money I'd have had a hololens in like 2016.
Well yeah it's also more expensive lol, and the quest 2 wasn't Facebook branded when I got it for cheap, it was better than my og rift. I think I've been seeing that valve is doing a new headset, I think I'll set my sights on that for an upgrade since it's most likely to support Linux.
I mean you're just continually proving my point that it's you who cares what other people use. My appologies I didn't want to spend $1000 on a vr headset and instead chose to get a more entry level option. The vibe I get talking to you is just....contempt for those you percieve as having less money than you.
I have to wonder what problems you think I have in the weird portrayal of my life you have going on in your head. Because I'm just chilling. Things been going good lately, boutta buy me a house, get me a cat, going all out on the PC upgrade at the end of the year, can't wait.
Well, thanks for providing some entertainment during the boring work day, I have some fun things I'm working on for the rest of the evening that'll take me away from my phone so you have yourself a nice one.
Apple not being anti-consumer is the weirdest opinion I read on lemmy...for now...
I think apple is more subtle and long term about it. Microsoft just straight up slams it in your face.
The world doesn't revolve around Apple and its NPCs like you.
I honestly won the last 2 job selections because I was "the linux guy": my emplyers understood that I can operate a pc better that the average mac or windows user and chose me over other people for that reason.
So what your saying it doesn't apply to all use cases
Being a linux user doesn't mean I'll put in more hours at work, it just means that in the same amount of time I'll have more stuff done, or that it takes less time to learn new stuff because I already know how some things work.
I don't have any particular idea (good or bad) about the character of SJ, except for the fact that I think he was an excellent salesman. And the characteristic of an excellent salesman is to lure you into a bad deal by convincing you that you'll end up on the upper side.
Audio on Linux has worked out of the box for over a decade.
