jbsmsk··on Why Apple's move from Intel to ARM means we should stop buying Macs
I'm actually thinking of getting a 2019 MacBook Pro. I like the butterfly keyboard and mostly believe the outrage was fake news like a lot of things nowadays with outrage culture. Not to mention it's 3rd gen, failure probability would be lower.

I'm also aware that at most I'd have 4-5 years, BUT if you take Windows into consideration, then you can definitely double that time. There's just no premium laptop manufacturer like Apple, all competition just looks like an attempt to be like them. I'd get a great trackpad, design, screen (most important to me) and somewhat both of OS worlds. Doesn't seem like a bad buy.

jbsmsk··on Quit whining about Apple and just stop using them
>"web browser" the reason you are not commenting this from IE is because of law makers that stopped Microsoft abuse, the reason Intel is not a monopoly and charge you 2 times more for 10 times less is because lawmakers prevented it.

Did you even try to be honest? In no way Microsoft did ever prevent competitor browsers from being installed. Nobody forced, forces or will force you to use IE, no matter the EU. It was typical EU bureaucratic socialist bs, doing the thinking for the user and of course in the end just sucking rich American tit by fining because they create nothing and just want to run those who do. Just like Soviet Union.

Also, I don't need "Mother EUSSR" telling me who collects data/uses cookies and ruining overall browsing experience. It's funny how their efforts are actually counter productive, because it's near impossible to browse the net in private mode (the one thing that ACTUALLY prevents data collection, not the useless cookie agreement pop-ups).

The keyboard "fiasco" was fake news. Overblown by the loud minority and with later iterations probably not an issue at all. But it's a stain that couldn't be washed away (they tried with the replacement program, but likely wasn't effective enough).

At worst the keyboard "issue" is just a preference.
