I truly don't understand how to use an apple computer. It's terrible to use.
How do you screw up the most basic fundamental things like window management and a basic file explorer, I'll honestly never understand.
Designed by a stupid hippy that died to a somewhat survivable cancer because he was a fuckin moron.
He had some good ideas for sure, but the man himself was just manipulative twat. His products are insufferable to use. Even as an apple certified repair technician for years I despise everything about apple and it's many products.
Feels so slow too, no matter what you're doing, finder windows slow, opening closing apps, just moving the mouse around takes forever.
Any smart TV. Please just let me have a TV without having to navigate spyware or the sluggish UIs.
Macbook pro
The aluminum chassis is stupid and has sharp edges so if you use the laptop on the go it's likely to cut your wrists. The screen is so glary you can't use the thing outside at all. The keyboard is really bad and I had one of those with a touchbar which is the dumbest laptop idea ever that would constantly get activated by slight brush or water droplet. And macos is such a terrible operating system full of legacy restrictions and commands you can't customize or animations you can't remove.
I had to use one for a contract I had with an US firm for security auditing and it dropped my productivity in half tho it was fun to explore the apple world on someone else's dime knowing it's temporary but I'm not going back ever.
Probably the iPad
Got it for free from a relative who had bought a newer model (he always has the latest iShit)
Played around with it for a week
Sure. It's smooth. That screen was drop dead gorgeous.
.... And yet everything I tried to do on the thing felt like I was fighting against it. Everything was restrained and needlessly clunky. It made me think "golly gee, windows cooperates more"
When I hear stories like these I'm always curious: what were you trying to do?
