This is exactly one of things I don’t like about PCs: Unnecessary maintainment.

Are you calling proper water-cooling “unnecessary maintainment”?

Yes. Why should I have to care about water-cooling? It should just work.

Do you understand how water-cooling works? It doesn’t matter if you’re using a Mac or a PC, if you don’t do it properly, you’ll probably get all your components wet and your computer will be wasted.

EDIT: I assumed you meant the water-cooling should just work. But yeah, what he said. Water cooling just works better.

Imma just post Mack memes until this useless non-conversation dies down.

Non factual. Almost all of the most powerful applications that people use started or are only on the Mac, with some being on Windows and extremely rarely on Linux.

Not factual.

Nearly all of Adobe’s Creative Suite started on the Mac. Most of the main products of the Office suite (a Microsoft product, for that matter) started on the Mac. I can give more.

And yet they all run better on PC, weeeeird!

Prove it.

##### *NO.*****

Everything that is wrong with your argument in one single post.

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of your argument crashing to the ground.

The truth is, you have no legs to stand on, just prejudice and nonsense. And bad memes, in Neglify’s case.

No, I just don’t need to prove anything. Please tell me how any official Mac can run Photoshop, or Illustrator, or Maya, or anything better than my 4790K, 2x GTX 1080 SLI system with 32 gigs of RAM.

Okay, I will give you that. A couple of years ago I would have pointed to the Mac Pro but Apple’s neglected that over the past few years. A regretful point to you, sir.

Is it because I can name my files whatever I want? Oh, wait, I can’t do that in OSX.

The file thing is more of a general point: It signifies that Apple will usually try to yield to the user (unless the user will do something stupid) and Windows tries to work against you because of some technical reason.

Also, putting “OS” and “X” together is a big no-no.

How is having file extensions “working against the user”? How does having a jpeg at the end affect my experience at all?

You can’t name the file whatever you want.

How? I can name my files whatever I want. The file extension isn’t the file name. I type in the file name, and the file name extension comes after that by default (it’s just labeling the file type in an easily viewed manner). It’s not oppressing me in any way, because I can still name my file whatever I want. And if I don’t want to see the file type at the end of the file name, I can turn it off.

Even though you can turn it off, it’s still there. That’s not a solution. When you call something like that a solution, something is wrong with your system.

You didn’t bother responding to anything in that paragraph, but you did manage to shove in the idea that turning them off isn’t a solution, even though that was just a side point in addition to the actual point of that paragraph.

Also, file name extensions look ugly.

So what? And not everyone thinks they are, so I wouldn’t go resorting to that kind of half assed argument when you’re trying to explain why you’re right about something.

I don’t want ugly things on my computer. Simple as that.

“You didn’t bother responding to anything in that paragraph, but you did manage to shove in the idea that turning them off isn’t a solution, even though that was just a side point in addition to the actual point of that paragraph.”

Also, as you and others refuse to accept, you should not ever have file metadata in the file name.

The file type is actually kind of important for the user to know sometimes. There is nothing wrong with the file type being displayed along with the file name.

Yes, there is, for all the reasons I have explained.

You haven’t given any reasons beyond “user’s space.” What the crap does that even mean?

The user’s space is something that only the user should be able to modify and that any technical limitations shouldn’t come into. It’s just offensive for that baggage to be there. This is a fundamental truth. Simple as that.

How is a file type being labeled as a name extension a technical limitation? I can even change the file extension if I want to (this won’t always yield promising results, though).

(this won’t always yield promising results, though)

That’s the problem.

It’s a technical limitation that Microsoft imposed on themselves when creating the Windows OS. They just decided that file name extensions were “good enough,” which they are totally not.

I doubt they assumed they were “good enough.” They probably realized it was a good way to go with it. Because it is. There’s nothing wrong with it.

Also, a mother limitation of file name extension is the three letter extension convention. Yes, you can make a file name extension longer than three letters, but almost nobody does that. So, you can have many conflicting file name extensions. It is not unreasonable to think that a user would have two or more different apps on a computer that use the same file name extension for data storage.

I can prove the MAC capitalization…

I know you can prove that. You just used it. In fact, we already proved it by using before.

I guess you’ll just never understand. Would you like it if I called Microsoft Microshit?

I don’t have an estranged loyalty to Microsoft, so I wouldn’t really care. Especially considering that Microsoft is rather crappy.

(Also, capitalizing the latter two letters in Mac isn’t nearly as insulting as your Microsoft example.)

If you could do that again in the correct way, I would like your comment more.

Sorry I know you hate abbreviations. Macintosh Apple Computer. Better?

No. Mac is an accepted abbreviation.

“Mac” is a shortening of “Macintosh”. “MAC” (or M.A.C. or M*A*C) is an abbreviation of the phrase “Macintosh Apple Computer.”

There.

No, it is not. None of your post is true. MAC is never accepted anywhere in the Apple community.

That’s because the Apple community is stupid. The evidence being they like Apples.

The fact that such a thing exists proves that Tyrphanax is right.

Why do you hate Apple and anybody that uses their products so much?

See: this thread.

You’re the ones who seem to think that PCs are perfect and that Macs are the devil.

We never said that. We said that Macs are trash compared to non-Mac PCs. And that Macs aren’t real computers.
