I have to get IOS 9.3 to use the bitch? I’ll pass. You know anything else that does the same thing? Preferable something for the PC.

No, sorry.

Just giving the Mac users a little teasing.

Haseo, Photoshop has similar functions.

Oh, we’ve been teasing PC users since 1984. It’s our specialty.

So how’s your Windows 7 Metro Phone 7 Series Phone? 😛

God, look at that beautiful auto-dithering in the pixels on this, though.

If you want even more dithering, try out BitCam.

Glorious, glorious dither!

Got another app so I can show my disdain for dither. Wish I could have gotten the right app but life sucks.

Nah, I wasn’t going to subject myself to all that just for trivial pettiness.

It’s the best phone I’ve ever owned, speaking as a person who’s used Android and iPhone extensively.

That was supposed to be a joke, but, whatever, man.

Hey, you asked a question and I answered it!

Also it’s just “Windows 10 Mobile” these days.

Haha, there you go.

Put a new graphics card and a closed-loop CPU liquid cooler in earlier in the year. Did a new motherboard, swapped in a new CPU, and got new RAM last year (this was my big bi-yearly upgrade though).

I love it.

I was about to put an emoji here, but then I remembered that PCs don’t support emoji.

I see them when people use them, but we did develop entire languages in order to express ourselves better than pictograms, so thanks for making English great again.

Sometimes I find that it’s better to use emoji than words. Like, “👍” for example. Simple, clear, concise.

I disagree, but to each their own.

I can’t think of a situation where I’d use a thumbs-up thing, haha.

Exactly.

But then you get a brand new car.

Right. With none of the time-worn comfort you’ve perfected in the old one. With none of the personal customization you’ve put into the old one.

The word “customization” sounds like “chaos” to Mac users.

And with the price tag of an entire car as opposed to an air filter.

Let’s continue with the car analogy. Most earlier cars were way more customizable and extensible than the modern cars of today. But, those cars broke all the time. Having an integrated system allows you to make the whole package last longer, not just all the individual parts. A car from 2016 is way more reliable than one from 1976. Less customizable, yes, but more reliable.

I had to use a Mac at work for a good amount of time and not being able to do anything to make it work like I wanted it to was infuriating.

I mean, unless you build that car with planned obsolescence like Mac does.

Not that PCs don’t become obsolete, but it’s still far easier (and much cheaper) to swap out one or two parts than it is to buy a whole new rig. Mac overcharges you by crazy amounts for their options.

Apple does not build machines with “planned obsolescence”. I’m typing this on a Mac from six years ago and it still works beautifully. iOS 10 still supports devices from ten five years ago.

Mac overcharges you by crazy amounts for their options.

Two problems:

  1. A comprable PC and Mac will often be in a similar price range. Let’s take a lot at the top-of-the-line MacBook Pro. This includes:
  • A 15 inch, 2880x1800 display with native support in the OS and the majority of applications
  • An aluminum enclosure
  • A 2.8GHz quad-core Intel Core i7, with Turbo Boost up to 4.0GHz
  • 16GB of 1600MHz DDR3L RAM
  • Intel Iris Pro Graphics + AMD Radeon R9 M370X with 2GB GDDR5 memory
  • Glass trackpad
  • Mac OS X El Capitan, a free office suite and video editor, professional applications that have prices way below the competitors, and a thriving indie market
  • Superior battery life: Up to nine hours of web browsing, thirty days of standby
  • 2.04 kilograms, 1.8 centimeters thick
  • MagSafe 2 power port, two Thunderbolt 2 ports with data speed up to 20 Gbps, and also works with any DisplayPort monitor, two USB 3 ports (up to 5 Gbps), an HDMI port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a SDXC card slot

All for the price of $3,199.00.
Now, a comparable Dell laptop. We get:

  • A 2.7GHz Intel® Core™ i7-6820HQ with up to 3.6GHz Turbo Boost (less than the MacBook Pro)
  • An Nvidia® Quadro® M1000M with 2GB of GDDR5
  • A 15-inch 3840x2160 display with HiDPI support lackluster
  • Plastic
  • 16GB of 2133MHz RAM
  • 1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe Class 40 Solid State Drive (comparable to the MacBook Pro’s PCI storage)
  • “Middling battery life” according to PCMag: Only five hours!
  • Plastic, cheap-o trackpad*
  • Memory card reader, a non-magnetic power port that is easily breakable, USB 3.0, Thunderbolt 3, HDMI, Headphone jack
  • Windows 10, with a “meh” software community
  • An office suite that costs upwards of $200, or a subscription †

All for the price of $2,821.76 (with savings added by Dell. Without these savings, the price is $4,056.14!)
