You're sailing very close to the wind my friend, personal attacks are not a good look, however veiled.
But I'll let that go, I don't find cheap shots worthwhile.
You find me a big tech manufacturer that's squeaky clean and I'll give you that one.
As for software, I don't really use anything that's not also available on at least some of the other platforms you mention. I'm not signed into my Apple ID on it, I only use Chrome on it to get the software I use.
I'm well aware of the issues but you thinking I'm somehow worse than anyone using a PC with Windows or whatever is just naive.
And to top it all, you think I made some kind of attack on those who don't like Apple. Again, it's not looking good for you and you're doing the heavy lifting for me.
Try again chump.
Wait, isn't this you?
Rules for thee, but not for me it seems eh. I do not apologize because you feel "personally attacked" because I pointed out, with links to Apples anti-consumer behavior, to Apples predatory behavior with developers, and Apple having to address the suicide/slavery. That's on you.
None of them are squeaky clean. No company is anywhere. But I can go into say Microcenter, and pick parts from various brands, they all work together and I can build a computer I'm happy with in the end. Something literally impossible with Apple products.
Then you need a Chromebook. Or could use Linux. But unless your spoofing your user agent, everyone you connect to with on a browser, absolutely knows where it came from. It's not like, if I don't sign in with a Microsoft account, all of a sudden I'm going to pull a fast one on Steam.
So your aware of the issues, ignore them and then use a straw-man argument. The slave labor being used in Apple is fine because... Windows... Ok.
Nope. I re-read my post, unsure where you go that from.
Right, fuck me, I provided sources from various people. Clearly a bad look because I did research and presented evidence to my argument. And you think your on the moral/ethical high ground here, especially after you clearly are unbothered by the slave labor. But I need to be worried about my look to.. who exactly? Apple? You? Who exactly do I need to ensure I have a "good look" for?
You started it -
.
Nope.
That my friend is the sound of you conceding. Well done.
I did this for years. It's one of the reasons I got a MBP. But you carry on ranting at me, it's all my fault apparently.
Chromebook and Linux are not for me. In fact they are considerably worse.
Good. That's useful, I'll keep doing it. Thanks.
Not what I said. But you've conceded so whatever.
Because you said -
For no good reason it turns out.
More inaccurate conclusions. You aren't very good at this.
I'll let you work that one out.
Have a nice Xmas!
