It's a literal shit post

I would sooner rather buy a bag of actual deluxe dog shit than an NFT.

It can at least have some kind of utility. Like hurling it at NFT bros, for example.

I carry 2 phones because I have a government job, so if any work is done on my phone it becomes subject to Open Records requests. If I have to carry 2 phones I might as well have both operating systems.

So my personal phone is Android and my work phone is an iPhone.

I don't understand how people prefer iPhones. The hardware is nice, but the OS is horrible. They came up with some neat stuff in 2008, but it feels like they haven't improved much since then. Even informing the greater flexibility of Android - it's just easier to use. Hell, just turning wifi or Bluetooth on and off is a hassle on the iPhone versus a single swipe and tap on Android.

I think the problems include the fact that an actual apple computer starts at 1000 and going higher than 8GB of RAM and 256G of storage costs you another 1000 because hardware isn't really modular and storage and ram are a huge tool of market segmentation.

Meanwhile a traditional desktop starts at $7000.

It's like they have lifted everything but the absolutely cheapest market segments out of reach of virtually any normal folks.

Pretty much this for me too. Switched to iphone because I no longer wanted to tinker, switched my work laptop to apple silicon because the battery life and performance is stellar.

Learned to be fine with mac os, do most things in terminal anyway. Will likely switch to asahi linux when it is stable enough that I don’t have to tinker, because tinkering gets in the way of actually getting things done in my situation.

Also, being real: running LLMs on my mac is great. 128gb of unified memory basically means 120gb of vram. It’s absurdly expensive, but nothing quite like it exists in the market right now.

Apple has that break the lense on a camera and your phone starts to brick it's self as it thinks it's been repaired by someone who's not apple

Yes. Pride in materialism is a horrible vice to fall for.

Yeah not Apple. They limit you to their ecosystem while Android lets you do literally whatever the fuck you want. Don't want to pay for an app in the app store? Then don't. Don't want to use the default home screen environment? Then change it. I could go on but I mean it's pretty obvious at this point.

Don't most camera apps have a pause button you can use while filming that gives the same result? Or am I missing something?

Samsungs have this built in natively. Press record. Press pause to pause. Press record for more. Press stop to finish.

If you want the exact UX, then I dunno.

Maybe? I dunno, I've never used either.

I had a stroke reading that.

Except I've experienced the exact opposite. The iPhone users are the ones who complain about android users messing up their iMessage chats while simultaneously being too fucking stupid to realize it's Apple who is screwing them.
