There’s no one standalone reason why I think macOS is better than Windows for productivity. Instead of a single killer blow, it’s death by a series of smaller wounds.

The only real way of describing it. So many little niceties from decades of attentiveness, even if things have been backsliding in recent years.

Fantastic description! This is an issue that made it difficult to justify to my management to allow them to allow Macs, but thankfully Apple Silicon was big enough of a game changer to sway the decision

Exactly my case. Apple Silicon was a game changer in relation to performance against cost. Was able to replace my old top PC with a mac mini and improve my work on Adobe suite. Impressive. The ecosystem with my iPhone was also an amazing improvement. Airdrop is fantastic.

I haven’t used an apple silicon device yet but I understand they’re insane on battery and performance.

And airdrop is stupid useful in so many scenarios.

There’s a nice browser run and open source alternative to airdrop called Snapdrop. It uses web rtc to transmit data from device to device directly and can be self-hosted. I use it to transfer data between my Mac and my windows pc as well as my steam deck.

Thanks! I will check that out. Does it transfer from iPhone to a windows pc too?

[-] NochmalBayern@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

Yes, every device I tested so far (apart from Netscape on windows 3.1)

[-] instamat@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

That’s gonna be a no from me dawg, I fuck around exclusively in ‘scape. 🤣

It just works. Something that can’t be said of how windows feels
