The efficiency of the Canadian government is significantly greater than that of Germany, often considered the world's capital of bureaucracy.

I also have WISE account and may be a week ago I received notification that my US bank account number will stop working immediately and I should not used anywhere and remove it from anywhere. Thanks god this is a private account.

Exactly. How could people be so naive? A friend of mine bougth the cheapest Android smartphone for less than 50 bucks on Amazon and then after buying iPhone Pro for ~ 1500 he annoyed anyone saying how much better iPhone is than Android. However, he never ever used a proper flagship Android, only the cheapest of the cheapest models and then compares them to iPhone... Genius

Blazor is excellent! The entire JavaScript ecosystem is so fragile and volatile, you will get JS-fatigue very quickly. Each time you change projects you have to learn completely new JS libraries, frameworks, tool, etc. No such problems with Blazor.

YAML creators are very big fans of overengineering.

Yeah, Softbank... They evaluated WeWork at ~50 billions and a few months later it was worth almost zero. If you work with SoftBank prepare to lose everything.

I have way more issues with MacOS than with windows and here just a small part of issues I must deal with:

- The keyboard layout and shortcuts are non-standard compared to other operating systems.

- Many keyboard shortcuts require more keystrokes than their Windows/Linux counterparts. For example, CMD+SPACE vs. WIN, OPTION+CMD+SPACE vs. WIN+E.

- I experience frequent system crashes—about twice a month, which is significantly more than I've had with high-end Windows laptops.

- Integration with Android devices is lacking due to the absence of apps like Phone Link.

- The window management is subpar. Third-party apps like Rectangle that attempt to improve this are buggy.

- Mouse scrolling defaults are reversed. If adjusted in settings, the touchpad scrolling direction is also inversely affected, without separate configuration options.

- The gaming library is limited.

- I experience glitches with my monitor optimized for Mac. About once every hour, the screen goes blank for a few seconds. This issue doesn't occur with Windows.

- Global environment variables are not available unless an app is initiated via the command line. This means apps started via Spotlight can't have assigned environment variables.

- Docker performance is suboptimal. For instance, a PostgreSQL backup that takes 5 minutes on Windows requires 2 hours on macOS due to slower write speeds to the host filesystem from inside Docker.

- I encounter issues with my non-Apple headset and need to disconnect its dongle from my MacBook approximately once daily to rectify it.

- Docker doesn't run in Parallels VMs. Unlike Windows, where nested virtualization can be enabled with a PowerShell command, macOS doesn't provide this flexibility.

- There's no straightforward method to turn off the laptop monitor when an external monitor is connected, without closing the laptop lid.

- Excessive security confirmations disrupt workflows.

- Working with virtual machines is cumbersome. For example, the OS still reacts to some shortcuts even when a VM is in focus.

- Multi-user mode has significant shortcomings. Several brew programs malfunction when multiple users access the system. Docker, especially on the ARM version of macOS, exhibits issues in multi-user scenarios and doesn't function properly in VMs.

- To execute scripts via right-click, one must create a quick action and navigate to a secondary menu—a non-intuitive process.

- Several CLI utilities differ from their Linux counterparts. Making them GNU-compatible requires installing numerous utilities via brew and then prioritizing them over the native commands.

- Finder lacks the robustness and versatility of Windows Explorer.

- Hardware upgrades are exorbitantly priced. For instance, upgrading from 512GB to 2TB SSD costs €700, whereas a 2TB SSD can be found on Amazon for around €70.

- Post macOS updates, certain configurations, like fingerprint authentication for command-line apps, revert to default settings, necessitating frequent reconfigurations.

- macOS doesn't perform well on low-resolution screens, in contrast to Windows.

- The OS is restrictive. Outside of macOS, no other systems can be installed.

- My printer only operates wirelessly. USB-C connectivity fails, forcing me to disconnect from the internet to print.

- When connecting to a printer via WLAN, macOS often disconnects initially, mistaking it as a primary internet connection.

- The ARM architecture still exhibits flaws, especially when interfacing with virtual machines.

- Mouse acceleration isn't as refined as on Windows (excluding the touchpad).

- During Playwright e2e tests, tab navigation gets cluttered with icons from test browsers—a problem absent on Windows.

- An increased number of macOS software options are paid. For instance, while Windows offers free VM tools, macOS users might need to purchase Parallels.

- macOS lacks an official package manager akin to Windows' winget or Debian's apt-get, though third-party options like brew exist.

- The Windows taskbar offers superior functionality to the macOS dock, including hover previews.

- Apple doesn't provide convertible laptops or touchscreen devices.

- Some enterprise features are absent or underdeveloped.

- Legacy software support is limited, which might expedite OS development but poses compatibility challenges.

- The laptop tends to overheat during intense processes, seemingly prioritizing quieter fan operations over cooling efficiency.

- Unpurchased Apple Cloud Plans result in advertisements within System Settings and the Music App.

Let's hope PG team will drop thread-based connections for the superior lightweight task-based connections. Then PgBouncer will not be needed.

Thanks to EU, Microsoft Teams replaced Slack. GDPR makes it way too difficult to work with multiple software vendors, so companies usually only choose products from the absolute minimum number of vendors (even if there are better options). Also Slack asks too much money for what it does.

"All USB-C charging cables that come with phones and laptops have USB 2.0 data transfer speeds. That includes flagship Samsung phones."

This statement is a complete nonsence. All USB-C cables I received with Windows laptops and android devices allow very fast transfer speed, way higher than 500 MB/s.

Scam company that lies shamelessly on their homepage saying "helped tens of thousands of developers all over the world"

C# introduced async/await like 20 years ago and java still doesn't have it yet... I hope in the next 20 years they will finally find time to implement this feature.

HUGE mistake for TSMC! Don't forget that german authorities hate entrepreneurs and they will do whatever possible to make their life as excruciating as possible. Communism ideology founders (Marx, Engels etc.) were all born in Germany and this is not a coincidence.

It's not just iPads. I don't know a single person who uses tablets. Why bother with a tablet, if laptops could be as small and are also way better for productivity? MacOS is also far less restricted than IOS allowing you to do much more stuff on it.

LLM from apple? I tried dozens of voice assistants in my life and non of them was worse than Siri by a very large margin. I can't even remember a single time I got a useful answer from Siri and 90% of the time, it was not even able to understand what I said (no problems with other assistants).

What a nonsense. I had a few thinkpads in the past and if I had any troubles, their employee will come directly to my house the next working day and replace the broken part in my laptop. It is way better than the support Apple provides and also way better for environment, because unlike Apple, who makes the whole board as a single piece where you cannot replace anything, other laptop manufacturers make it possible to replace every part of your laptop independently (motherboard, ssd, memory, wifi, etc.).

Apple uses mobbing strategy to force teenagers to use iPhones:

Anyone who don't use iPhone will be bullied (in USA). But yeah, let's pretend that Apple have some moral values when exactly the opposite is true.

Some people also say that the earth is flat. Will you believe them?

The funny thing is that no one did more to increase Microsoft usage than the EU! They introduced GDPR laws and now companies have to investigate each company in regard of privacy policy. So companies are tired of doing that and just start using only Microsoft products to reduce headache caused by EU-own regulations!!!

I don't see Microsoft broke any rules. They didn't buy some competitor, but built and marketed Teams from scratch on it's own. Slack has absolute market dominance in the past, but then they lost more and more to Microsoft, because they just asked too much for what it does. Who want to pay 11$ per month just for a single product if I can get many products from Microsoft at the same price?

Already tried to use apple's siri and I can't remember even once it answered a question properly.

Yeah, and tax authorities who refuse to communicate by using anything else but paper documents sent as letters... Glad I will leave Germany soon.

Yes, completely down and absolutely nothing works, not even the homepage could be opened.
