A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Actually, I had this exact issue a year ago, had a rage fit, and bought a Mac. I hate Apple, but this was going way too far
I switched from Windows to Apple back in 2008...I have never regretted it.
Maybe you'll regret it when your MacBook dies and you can't fix it.
I switched to Linux instead.
I've had iMacs and iPhones ONLY (no MacBooks) for 16 years with no problems.
Oh good so you're the reason we can't have nice things...
Exactly! Apple is just a different type of abuser. This is like saying "My previous spouse was very abusive. So I chose to marry another abusive person".
Except a PC from 2008 can still run the latest windows 10 version without any real issues (an i7 940 from that time is roughly equivalent in perfomance to a brand new Celeron g5900) while a Mac from 2008 became e-waste years ago when Apple discontinued MacOS and workarounds become harder and harder with each yearly os update. And too many Mac developers target the latest MacOS versions so if you don't update you can't run latest apps.
"But you can run Linux on a Mac" yeah thanks to the proprietary shit, if I run Debian on my old iMac I get only a black screen (other distros are running ok though, not all of them are without issues)
