Any situation. Even the boot leaks water apparently, and the official solution is to use tubs

I legit can’t think of why you would buy it, as there are other EV Utes out there which seem better

Except the ones that submit AI slop patches to projects without even understanding it or being upfront about it

I got very close to the end, on the tower, but was stuck on one of the last puzzles. It was a great game though

Our local racist politician here in Australia didn’t complete high school

She’s stated education is woke…

I used to sell them.

The reality is, Apple Succeeded by lying about their stability, people thought they couldn’t get viruses, and people wiling to overlook their f***-ups.

Here in Australia, a week before Boot camp was released, i actually showed a national sales manager how we got Windows running on a Mac mini, and told him how it would be a great transition technology. He basically tried to make me look like an idiot in front of customers in our showroom.

A week later, boot camp was released. The same guy returned, and was repeating all the same arguments I made a week ago, and was proud of them, acting like Apple’s was brilliant. I got no apology. I should have called him out at the time, burnt my bridges and demanded an apology.

The things Microsoft and Google did are honestly less bad than honestly. Apple blatantly lied about a lot of things, stood on stage and pretended like they had full rights to multitouch, and they had invented it.

In fact, Microsoft bailed out Apple in 1997, and the moment they started recovering, they treated Microsoft like crap

Better off going elsewhere for Linux.

Linux will always be a second class citizen for Apple.

This guy is definitely in the Epstein files… probably a supplier…

How many are bots?

Its like facebook. Engagement is up, audience is increased, but, its likely by a small number of people. I started noticing that in the Aussie subs, that every week, near the weekend (right before night), there were obvious lobbyist posts, which suddenly shot up (stuff like pro guns, pro- one nation etc). At this point, our local racism party was clearly doing heavy lobbying on the platform (despite losing 30 years of elections, based on reddit, you’d think they were #1).

Like facebook, a lot of people are switching off now, and trying to find alternatives.

Moderation has also gotten really bad recently. I had an account for 14+ years, never got banned. Made a new account, and within a few months, I got a temp ban for apparently being racist (despite the fact, I spent a lot of time arguing AGAINST racism).

On facebook in fact, on the heatpump posts, I actually noticed 1 or 2 names pop up on almost all the adverts saying they were an engineer, and that heatpumps don’t work, etc (with bad info). Reddit allows infinite accounts, and no doubt, it is not much better there

Yep… Here in Australia, they call them all “Raj”.

Not all of them, but, at least on Facebook, they seem to make us look bad internationally

Sailfish is also a great option too

I hate trackpads in general.

Their first gen of touchpad however was the worst I ever saw

It was on the last PowerBook pro (I think)

And it was just yet another example of bad hardware apple released, but few people talk about, and Steve was in charge when it happened

This is particularly an issue here in Australia.

Our most vocal racist community is our Truckie community. They blame everyone for everything except themselves. They even argue that normal drivers shouldn’t pull over for sleep and that it’s killing Truckies (less spots for them to stop). It’s always about them…

And they always love to emphasise how important and irresplacable they are, despite the fact it’s one of Australia’s lowest skilled jobs.

When fuel prices went up, many of them were demanding they strike and block all the roads because many signed bad/risky contracts they didn’t want to blame themselves for

Not all of them, but the problem is so bad a newspaper even recently published how toxic they were

Or is it similar to covid, where Trump simply stopped counting properly? And nobody bothers reporting anymore because Trump will release them anyway

That’s unfortunately pretty standard.

Whereas, on Facebook, nobody gets banned. I’ve literally reported people inciting violence towards others. However, it seems permitted by community standards these days

I’ve been trying (like everyone else) for steam controller.

My sidewinder was awesome. Actually forgot all about it

I mean, check their puck mouse lol.

Go find a mighty mouse and use the right mouse button every day

Try to find me 2 worse designed mice.

Or, tell me the good thing about those 2 mice

The most basic benefit (ease of use) isn’t even good. Because the buttons on the mighty mouse isn’t obvious, I saw a lot of elderly people struggle to Click consistently. And if they wanted to do a right click, it wasn’t going to happen

It might be subjective, but you’ll struggle to find anyone defending these two products

And you definitely will struggle to find anyone who will say that the best spot for a USB port is on the bottom 😂

It would be… Sold them for years… But, its informed bias. Owned a Powermac, Mac Pro, and various other gear.

And, the things that people whine about in Apple forums weren’t even the most common issues

Every bit of gear I owned was overpriced considering the issues with the hardware itself.

In fact, I watched as Apple’s market grew as people walked in believing Mac’s can’t get viruses and don’t crash (and this was whilst iLife was super buggy, I was constantly fixing preferences).

Each is entitled to their own opinion, but the only good thing I can credit MacOS for these days, is IOS support built in, and not being as much a clusterfuck as Windows.

In practice, if it wasn’t for IOS support, Linux has basically caught up I feel.

I really wish Jolla got their crap together honestly

I was actually selling Apple gear when they released the Mighty mouse. It sounded AWESOME. We were so excited. On their ads, it sounded like we’d get a product with touchpad buttons basically that killed their previous (worse) puck mice.

What we got, was an overpriced mouse which was near-damned impossible to click the right button (you got RSI every time you tried) and which was physical click.

Microsoft’s super cheap basic mice we sold 10x faster (at least), and were 1/3rd the price

The reality is, they really f*** up most of their products, but people make excuses for them. Even the iPod shuffle, there were good cheap alternatives (I had one), and mine even had a display. OSX 10 used to have corrupt preferences regularly, SMB was crap until at least OSX 10.5, etc. One release, there was a bug where the network broke completely after a few minutes (there is no way anyone couldn’t have noticed during testing)

My Mac Studio M2 was the only computer I have ever had that had compatibility issues with some USB-C cables (and, it was a few of them from differing brands). Antenna gate, and they tried to water down the problems, by comparing to other manufacturers and said “if you hold them in this totally unrealistic way, you have similar issues”

Apple is incapable of making a good mouse.
