    10 years of support for MacBook pros and then just like a windows box that doesn’t support a 10 year old computer without a tpm you can install Linux if you want.

    Or Apple actually maintains security updates for previous operating system versions.

    Pixels got less than 7 years of support from Google.

    Googles flagship Android device came out and still couldn’t meet the competitor. But it’s Apple that does the thing where you have to buy new hardware, yeah?

    Sure. But the cult of anti Apple is on display here in this thread and is wildly MORE pervasive.

    Then again it’s largely only kids who give a fuck, the second I take my mom hat off and stop trying to temper extreme mindsets it all disappears for me too.

    All the tech in your pocket looks fantastic from my house.

    My question wasn’t about Lineage though. OnePlus using lineage officially and supporting it is kind of the exception that proves the rule.

    I’m talking which manufacturers offer a comparable product that is supported for as long?

    Apple gets shit on for this very thing but Google and Samsung and Motorola were the worst offenders in that regard. Samsung users out here with an phone that stopped getting updates a year later shitting on people with 5 generation old iPhones still being updated regularly, my point entirely is that much of the “this company sucks for X reason” in both directions is typically people hating rather than backed by real shit.

    Some stuff is bad, but rarely is any of the hate as bad as people make it out to be. It’s tribalism.

    We hate things more than we like them. It’s a pretty human trait.

    It sure would be whatavoutism if I was trying to make one side the good guy or the other guy specifically the bad guy.

    My point entirely is that they all do fucked up shit and pretending your favorite tech company is good while the other is evil is some stupid shit.

    Use what you like. Accept there are problems and things that could be done better. Get something else if it ticks your boxes.

    But to be a braindead tech tribalist by parroting the narrative that foo product users are inherently brainwashed and dumb is irony at its best.

    That’s exactly what it is.

    Planned obsolescence, but my iPhone 11 from 2019 still receives updates. Do any android devices from then still get new Android?

    None of my cords that did the fraying ever frayed, I had one friend who’s cord frayed. But it was all over the internet.

    It’s called othering when we make shit up about people to categorize them as worse, but since tech isn’t people our baser instincts are fine.

    Your comment so perfectly encapsulates what I’m talking about.

    I use Apple products because I develop on a Unix system that has support from the manufacturer. That’s why I use Apple.

    Nobody else provides that for me. I’d prefer to be using i3 on a Linux base but nobody provides that in a manner that ticks the boxes I need to tick for the requirements I provide.

    It’s like you are wildly incorrect but having to join the tech fight

    The “planned obsolescence” argument holds as much water as a sieve and always has.

    It’s cope. Everyone seems to need to cope about why they got what they got and not the other thing. Nobody can just admit “I got the thing I wanted”

    I wear yalls downvotes as a badge of pride that I triggered some tribalists who had to react but couldn’t respond

    You’re literally parroting the same type of tech tribalism bullshit that I’m responding to.

    They had a design defect. It happens.

    They’ve never sold me a phone that explodes in my pocket though. I guess Samsung also planned that obsolescence?

    It’s the “assigning intent” behind a thing that proves the tribalism.

    For fucks sake just use the shit you want to use and let other people use the shit they want to use.

    The cables that degraded that way were because they used a more recyclable product, they moved away from it and it stopped being a problem.

    That so many of the Apple frayed outside cables survived despite the outside fraying is funny …

    Their cables are now braided by default.

    The “hating apple” or better yet “tech tribalism” in general is the real cult






  • The spin they have is that Russian diesel was banned for export by Russia itself due to the shortages they were having.

    So they can say it was “Ukraines war” causing it to happen, and Trump figured it out by cutting a deal with Russia to release it to the world.

    It also makes continued (successful) waging of the war Ukraine needs to in order to get the orcs out something that is now against US foreign policy.

    I really do wonder what Epstein recorded for Putin to have the “most powerful man in the world” acting like such a little bitch.

    Fuck Trump. I hope he gets Ghaddafi’d
