  1. I completely agree. If I was forced to use one or the other, Windows. Thankfully I won't ever have to, but yeah, Apple has gone more evil than Microsoft, and that's even with UEFI and TPM and all the other garbage they've got cooking. The one problem with this video is that I can only like it once. I clicked the button 5 times, but it still only added one like.

  2. Have you tried FreeCAD? It might be "good enough", but either way, if you haven't yet at least give it a try.

  3. Ditto.

  5. @JM It's not about whether it will go bad, it's about being able to get higher capacities for it. If you bought a laptop with 4gb of RAM and 5 years later want to upgrade to 8, well, with most laptops that aren't Mac's you can. And even just doubling the RAM could be a huge boost for performance.

  6. Every company data mines you, but at least you can swap OS's on an Android phone and turn all of that off and at least you can use Linux on your brand new gaming PC and turn all of that off. Asahi might be the only saving grace for your argument, if it's ever ready for daily driving.

  7. Dad jokes are hit or miss, they're either really awful, or they're like your joke and really funny.

  8. That's why we're being pushed to ARM for the future. I personally think it's a bad move because ARM is inferior to x86, but also because ARM is just as locked down in a lot of cases as what Mac's are. Hopefully someone comes along who's both rich and good to either push us back towards x86 but with more openness or create an entirely new platform. I just hope it's not towards yet another RISC architecture because that's still inferior.

  9.  @VolpeJosesk  I think we already do, but I'd still prefer to not shift away from x86 and I would definitely love to see a new CISC platform crop up.

  11. I've got a couple of cheapo WallyWorld tablets, you can just use a custom ROM and disable all of the insecure garbage. There are guides for setting up a Pi Hole that are easy to follow and you could block any address that the tablet tries to communicate with that you don't approve of.

  12.  @gabrielblanco2969  CygWin and MSYS are better options than WSL, have existed for decades and just function better. I also found that for my purposes I was better off rewriting code to fit Windows a bit more and compiling it from source myself. When I still used Windows my favorite compiler was definitely LCC-Win32. It had a full IDE, which I really only used when designing a GUI for the various projects that needed them, but it worked and was highly configurable, and it had extensions for C to use operator and function overloading. I checked a couple of weeks ago and found that it's still being updated and has now gone 64-bit. So if you do any C development on Windows, check it out.

  13.  @VolpeJosesk  It's weird that so many people are brainwashed to believe Steve Jobs did anything good or innovative. Even people that aren't Apple fan boys still tout that parasite. I still have a Dell Axim from before the iPhone existed, complete with dock and dead battery, and they made a cellular antenna for those things. May not have a good touch screen, but other devices did and before the iPhone, and you cite a great example of a phone having it.

  14. I've not had much experience using MacOS. Maybe 5 or 10 minutes over the years. Usually people sing its praises, so I'm curious as to what you've disliked about it. My surface level complaints would be things like a menu bar at the top, and mice with one single button, but that is 20 year old knowledge. My current thoughts are on their blatant anti-consumer practices, though Microsoft is trying to follow suit by forcing UEFI on everyone.

  15. @UC_n1trW0LXaVdOWSQDhpbRg Thank you for sharing. It's nice to see a more honest look at it since most would wipe Jobs poop with their tongues. Now that I think about it, I have seen guides for some things that the instructions for Macs used the "super" key for things like copy and paste operations. I figured they just didn't have a ctrl key, but this makes it even weirder. I've also never heard about these weird software issues, but I've never liked the top menu way of doing things, and even when I used Windows I set the task bar to auto-hide and it worked perfectly then as now. Although now it's KDE that manages it.

  16. Native build not good enough for you?

  17. Ditto, and if Rust keeps infecting everything and everyone I may build a boat and live off grid in the middle of the ocean. Grow my own food hydroponically, have solar panels for satellite TV and live out the rest of my days there.

  18. Are they still using that kernel though? Could you still get the source code for it and compile it yourself and use it on a modern Mac?

  19.  @notmiten  Could you point me in the direction of someone who's working on that? Obviously don't post a direct link because YT will filter it, but a name. Although, if they're on YT then a direct link to their channel or video will work.
