i recently got a macbook air, 2015 so it came with capitan. that's basically my only osx experience, and so far so good

i also recently have been farting around with win10 and wow, phew, haha hoo-boy, wow

apple has a loooooong way to go before OSX is anywhere near as hosed up as windows. apple ain't perfect but the alternatives are worse

el cap doesn't break anything but the split screen sucks and air drop still doesn't work. mission control or whatever the gently caress has been a poo poo show since it changed from expose. I also get a weird error message about Java roughly 2-3 times per day that I just click "ok" on. sure, I could google it, but I thought this poo poo was supposed to JUST WORK

1 - new touchID is so fast & reliable people complain about it being too fast
2 - apple telling the feds to go suck a big one
3 - osx is still just getting better and better incrementally instead of microsoft's rolling in poo poo

otherwise agreed

the 2nd point is good, the other two are big piles of poo poo.

even if you are playing a local copy of a song? if so, I'm glad to hear this corroborated and that I was not going crazy.

yeah they're all local copies because 95% of the subway doesn't get service. I guess I could use airplane mode but then I'd miss the texts that slip in at every sixth station. either way I have headphones with a button so it's only a minor thing
