/mfg/ - Mac Fag General Too Many Ports Edition

first for atom is the best text editor

Reminder that the only acceptable laptop size is either 11" or 12", with an external display when you're at home.

Everything else is "portable" desktop tier and your money is better spent in an iMac.

Just bought a base model 13" Retina with education discount. I probably did good. I mean it's at least an upgrade to the 2011 Acer I was using.

>>52307506
sounds like you did good, what do you use it for?

>tfw you want to switch to linux but there are no open sauce linux programs which compare to the stuff you are using on mac.

>>52307613
And I feel the same way about going to a Mac.

Oh, and botnet.

Have fun with your proprietary shackles

Anyone else noticing Apple clearly has the B team working on OSX. So much stuff from iOS is implemented horribly in OS X. On the other hand, where the fuck is system wide linkedin support in iOS?

>>52307640
Don't worry anon, everything is a botnet these days.

>>52307640
nice keep me posted

I'd still at least like to try avoiding it.

>I'd still at least like to try avoiding it.
lol you probably use Windows and Linux with non-free software AND hardware

>>52307404
10 ports too many

>>52307506
>I probably did good
I seriously doubt that

Does iOS even support webm yet? Tried moving a webm file into the "videos" section in iTunes on my iphone 4 iOS 7, nothing happened.

Just updated BetterTouchTool and got a message that it's going paid. I haven't really found a good use for it so I'll be dumping it anyways.

>>52307613
>tfw I installed Linux on my Mac book and it's a lot faster now

>>52307404
Does anybody know in which month of 2016 the new rMBP 13" with skylake is going to be released?

>>52308975
Faster doing what? Have you measured this objectively? What model of Macbook do you have?

>>52308975
>tfw you did that and nothing worked

>>52307552
Graphic design, video editing in class ect. Got a desktop for when shit needs to get done. Plus uni has a farm of dual xeon workstations for when shit really needs to get done. So I'm not hurting for performance.

>>52309203
anyone?

Question: what graphics does the 2015 mac mini have (2.66 GHz version)? I know it's intel Iris but which one? Is it the same as in the macbook pro?

>>52308764
As one who actually owns this laptop, I don't. It's excellent.

>>52307404

Theyre overpriced

>>52310278
Do you own the 8GB RAM or 16GB one? I didn't want to spend a few hundred for another 8GB RAM but now its shipped I feel I made a mistake and its not going to last three years

>>52310305
Are you saying they could make more money if they sold them at cheaper prices?

Future /mfg/ threads should be renamed /fag/ - Friendly Apple General

>>52310739
you'll be fine. 4GB macbook airs are still the norm. memory requirements of OSX don't change drastically gen to gen and even then OSX is incredibly good at swapping shit in and out of disk. i guess it helps this when you have a 1500mb/s SSD drive too

>>52308765
>2010+6
>iphone 4
>iOS 7

I was thinking of getting a few of those Core2duo macbooks with the plastic shells from years ago for cheap off of eBay prettying them up a bit, make sure they work, and then hustle some normies during tax season with them for $400 each. which ones do you macfags recommend for this, that run the closest to current version of OSX?

>>52307715
>free hardware
what?

>>52307506
Except the 128GB SSDs are fucking slow compared to 256/512. Look some benchmarks. You should have shelled out those extra hundred bucks.

9.2 jailbreak when?
had to downgrade to a 4gb iphone and it sucks dick

>>52307404
what's with the penis port on the front? Are macfags penises really that small?

>>52307404
WHY DONT YHEY JUST REMOVE ALL FUCKING PORTS AND JUST LEAVE AN ASSHOLE AS CABLE ENTRY, FUCK!

Those are just glorified laptops with ridiculous price tags m8

So I use a MBP at work for iOS development and I actually enjoy it a lot. But I'm hoping I'll be getting another job soon, which means I have to give the MBP back. Is the base Mac Mini good enough to run xCode and the usual stuff?

Mid-2014 13" rMBP. Programs which would routinely beachball, stutter, and lag under OS X (Firefox, mpd, C compilers) run perceptibly faster and better under Linux.

>>52309258
I need to plug in to ethernet (USB adapters lol) and run a script to reinstall wifi drivers every time I get a new kernel, and the webcam doesn't work, but the wifi is Broadcom's fault and the webcam just means the NSA can't use it to spy on me.

>"too many ports"

Ahhh reminds me of good times with my old retarded boss.

>be in IT/networking
>support relatively old shit including switches and routers with windows-only admin apps (yes they exist) that come on CD

every time we're onsite
>"oh I'm gonna need a CD aren't I"
>have to be the iso ripping bitch
>he doesn't even know you can take an image of a CD
>mount it on the fucking air
>"why won't this CD work"
>no mac version
>"let me just plug into the client's lan"
>NO FUCKING ETHERNET PORT LEL
>"why can't I admin over wifi?"
>gee dunno maybe it's cause both the fact that you're resetting the router anyway and it won't keep that info, and some of these are business class and disable admin over wifi for security

weeks later after he's learned what he needs
>has to carry a second fucking bag full of adapters
>usb to ethernet (2.0 so it's gonna max out quickly)
>usb CD drive
>both of these occupy the two ports it has
>has to be running virtualbox at all times
>takes him forever to set all this shit up to pass through correctly
>sluggish on a C2D

$35 T60 versus a $2000 "new" macbook air. for fucking IT administration. hurr muh fuckin portssss

>>52317431
How the hell does a retard even get up to a position like that.

>>52317431
nice story but that's a specialized user case.

Doing anything on hardware from oh this decade and all you'll need is ssh into unix servers for maintenance rdp for windows servers and a windows vm for development.

>>52317773
IT is not limited to that you dipshit faggot

Didn't want to make a new thread for this but I need some help.

I got an iphone 6 plus with an unlimited everything plan as a company phone. I'm thinking of cancelling my current phone plan and just using this phone. However, it says "This iphone is supervised by x company". Would they be able to see what I search and the apps I use? As well as the information inside it? I.e. facebook, twitter, instagram.

I know they can track it on the computers we use, but I'm not sure if they'd be able to do that on the phone.

>>52308765
Nope. You have to open them in VLC or Infuse. It's bullshit.

Do you guys using Safari get this strange delay when switching between https 4chan tabs? Works fine with http.

>>52311467

Same. Dual booting on my mba '11.

nice1 m8 you should have just waited until march, at the very least you could have gotten the same model you just purchased for a couple hundred less.

Yes, you can see everything with the iOS Deployment App.
