I am SO sick of Macfags/iToddlers

>proceeds to call me weekly because he needs help
>nothing works right, only two thunderbolt ports so he has to use a hub which can't charge or run his webcam correctly so he has to pick one or the other

Fucking retard

Macs for work are an even bigger joke:

>work at fintech company
>everyone has iMacs, no other option
>something constantly breaks, someone always whining about something
>one guy has constant monitor flickering problems
>another one's disk will corrupt itself and need to reinstall the OS if he doesn't turn it off for the night
>whenever there's a major OS update we draw sticks to see who the guinea pig will be for the next week and report to the rest what breaks with the new update. And something always breaks
>updates themselves take over 40 fucking minutes
>virtualbox shits itself all the time
>the most counter-productive and retarded GUI in the history of computers
>can't even have root privileges
>forced to do everything the Apple way like some slave
>retarded joke of a package repo
>can't run simple bash scrips because even basic cli utils have their own special syntax on a mac
>ask macfag coworker "how do I do X? on a Mac"
>"why would you want to do X?"

At other jobs where I actually had the opportunity work with a real computer, the mac dorks on standups were often like "uuh I didn't actually do much work yesterday cause I was fixing my mac problems". Why the fuck does anyone even use those useless turds?

Ok Prakesh Sukdeek, keep using linux/windows.

>>106998014
Apple is full of jeets too, retard.

>>106997605
It's because his HDMI adapter is a piece of shit.

Maybe your boomer friend would be a bottomfeeding retard no matter what operating system he used. Ever consider that?

>mfw macfags can't disable smooth scrolling
yes you can
>mfw macfags can't disable mouse acceleration
yes you can
>mfw macfags' Cmd+C doesn't always work on the first try
yes it does
>mfw when macfags click the maximize button it makes the window full screen
how is that a problem? just hold down the alt button btw
>mfw when macfags click the close button it minimizes the window
it closes the window but keeps the programme opened
this is very difficult for brain dead idiots to understand, but if you have a brain theres no ambiguity like on winblows or penguinos
>mfw macfags can't into window snapping
macos has had window snapping natively for a while now

>>107001784
you can't disable scroll acceleration though

>>107001792
so why did i disable it on my mac then?

mfw macfags have to hold a key and click the mouse at the same time just to close a window
>>mfw when macfags click the close button it minimizes the window
>it closes the window but keeps the programme opened
mfw macfags click the close button to keep the program open

>>107001796
maybe by using third party software
or lying

>>107001821
no i just changed system preferences using the big scary terminal box no different from doing shit on troonux

>>107001810
>command + q

>>107002107
I guarantee that did not remove scroll acceleration

Nah, you're the liar

>$70k
fuck
>I don't even know anything about analog audio shit so I have to learn it all
skill points. and it's pretty easy.
>prosonus
cringe and overkill for some jbl monitors. is he deaf too? been in a similar situation helping out people and dealing with wrong choices for things recommended by others. most often computers. when you're not familiar with the tech it's pretty easy to get raped by these sales faggots trying to make commissions.

>>107003358
Yeah, seriously $70k. He got $70k in a slip-and-fall lawsuit last year because he's fat as fuck. Then starts buying all this shit. The other day I was in the car with him and he got a call from a creditor demanding money on his overdue credit card payments. JFC, how could he be that stupid? To be fair, I'm pretty sure he's actually mentally retarded at this point, not from Down Syndrome or FAS though
I don't even know why he got the JBL monitors. It was like a $1,300 set. Why would you even get those for VOICE ACTING?
>Yeah bro I just gotta listen to my own voice super loud so I can tune it/my head is too fat for headphones
>use this $370 SoundID calibration mic and $249 software to fix it for me please
He's genuinely the stupidest motherfucker I've ever met, but he's also the most honest and lighthearted guy I know so that's why I stay friends with him. I've posted on here about getting him out of the Nigerian-Beninese scam recently (got his money back and tracked the scammers down, but literally no government gives a fuck) and also posted so many stories about him to FPH threads on /fit/ about his terrible slop eating habits. He's a piece of work
