Desktops that infuriate you so much, that you become a communist

>"Everything must accommodate stupid people."

Yes, and? Computers exist to make people's lives easier. To that end, they should strive to be as easy to use as they can reasonably be. Computer elitism never got anyone anywhere. Might as well get smug about your fucking punch cards.

> Stick the menu bars at the top, like I don't have the space to prevent it

Just a different paradigm. Windows of a program are all tied together under one banner instead of each being their own 'thing'. The decision makes sense when you think of the way MacOS applications actually function.

> "Sell good hardware that should retail for $400, for $800":the meme

Doing what Apple does incurs costs other than the hardware cost. For instance, running storefronts, hiring staff for those storefronts, running a *tremendous* service/support division, supporting warranty claims, etc. Plus, Apple tends to more or less create thriving markets out of thin air by implementing new features and designs, merely by generating so much demand for those products (TouchID, high-DPI displays, and eventually sapphire displays). That takes a lot of liquid cash to do.

Which brings me to another worthwhile point: The cheaper hardware that you buy a couple years down the line -- the hardware that "does the same things for less" -- is able to do so because Apple footed the initial R&D costs and the cost of building out the production infrastructure. Apple, and the people who buy their products, effectively subsidize everyone else's products as a byproduct of their admittedly-sometimes-misguided ambition. You're welcome.

> The fucking scroll wheel works in reverse by default

That's because there is no 'scroll wheel' on MacOS. Apple produces exactly one product that has a physical scrolling apparatus: the radically-unpopular legacy Magic Mouse. The rest of their pointing devices are touch-based (either trackpads or, as is the case with the Magic Mouse, a touch surface that emulates a scroll wheel).

> "Everything must accommodate stupid people"

There really are alot of stupid people.

>>59378180
live is spent either taking advantage of or accommodating the needs of stupid people. go outside more.

>>59378180
Holy fuck, you're still spouting this shit? We told you to fuck off two days ago. Stop whining wintoddler.

>>59378987
Pretty much this. We just need to accept that most people want to treat their computers like appliances and for them Apple stuff is pretty good.

I like to tinker and spend time in macOS, Windows and Linux and I think macOS is pretty comfy.

Stupid people don't deserve technology. Computers should only make lives easier for people that are worthy.

You are not worthy.

You are literally mentally challenged, a tool of Apple and utterly deluded.

Why isn't Logitech overpriced?

Why isn't Noctua overpriced?

>>59378180

kys op. You fucking faggot. Why do you even use a UI bitch? Bet you do lol. Is it because it's easier? Are you too stupid to use the command line version of Gentoo? Just browse the Internet with Lynx like a smart person would.

you're just angry because you like being angry.

>>59379410
What the fuck are you talking about kid? Logitech for instance sells quite affordable products with exceptional quality that go between $50 and 100. If Apple sold those products they would charge $199 to $399 because their stupid users are gullible.

Holy fuck, how stupid are you?

Apple users are gullible.

By current standards retina displays should be called glaucoma

Even cheap phones has better DPI than apple. You can also buy much better displays than apple overpriced shit

Can you read? I never discussed that they don't sell products.

Why Dell is cheaper and have much better customer service?

>>59379521
How do you think the developers of macOS are paid?

They don't charge for the OS.

How do you think the developers of iOS are paid? Again, they don't charge for that either.

Do you really not see why things cost more?

> "Everything must accommodate stupid people"-design since the 1980s

A tool should behave like a tool, instead of having to become a tool to use it.

> Stick the menu bars at the top, like I don't have the space to prevent it

Matter of preference.

> "Sell good hardware that should retail for $400, for $800":the meme

Buy the exact same hardware. Put the exact same software on it and prove them wrong. Ain't that simple?

> The fucking scroll wheel works in reverse by default

Weird behavior it is, that can be changed. On a trackpad though it's stupid to have non-natural scrolling. That's not how shit works with 100% of any interfaces that you can touch.

windows 10, which doesn't even ask you when installing updates really earns that place though

>>59380606
Neither does OSX.

>>59380641
It does though. You can also permanently disable them.

>>59380658
It does not. And you can also permanently disable 10's.

You get the option to show you notifications or not for checking updates automatically, to disable updates and to enable them to install themselves automatically.

On Windows 10, to fully disable updates you have to tinker. There's no disabling them through normal means.

>holy shit just flash bios

>>59380789
Flashing BIOS does nothing. The update that fixes it isn't out.

>>59380376
I used "main" company charasteristic to position them, actually windows should be in top right too

>>59379235
I don't agree about people being worthy, but to some point the spread of computers to "the masses" (that lacking computer studies I'm probably part of), and from there to the IoT and some broken, capitalist transhumanism, is hell.

>higher dpi is better
apple dpi is perfect when looking from normal distance. Others are increasing it just to look good on paper. It is only wasting battery and requires much more gpu performande for practically nothing
