I will still chose the western closed system that I can see is giving me better tools to stop other tech companies from getting my data, and right now it’s apple

samsung = south korean government. it is shocking to see people on the internet in 2023 who still don’t realise this.

I've legit had good experiences with apple airprint Just Working. I got a low end macbook air to be a mobile microsoft office machine and printing on it Just Works every time I've used it without me doing anything at all.

By contrast, every time my mom visits she wants to print something for some reason and I've never been able to get her lenovo win10 laptop to print on my brother laser printer for reasons I've never been able to figure out. And in my experience windows print spooler frequently softlocks for inexplicable reasons on every windows machine I've used going back to win 98. :shrug:

The first smart phone I owned was an iPhone 4s, and man was that thing perfect in size and weight. No one needed to improve upon phones that size; it was a good phone.

I always felt the same way, but the other day I dug up my old 4S, installed a new battery in it, and filled it with music* to use as an iPod in my old truck.

Holy poo poo is the tiny screen real estate limiting, as well as the itty-bitty onscreen keypad. I don’t even use the XL phones as my daily driver, just the standard size iPhones. I now think the 4S was the poo poo back in the day, but phones that small just don’t work for anything but music & voice anymore.

I was going to reply like a wiseass but you know what, now I'm thinking, I never see Apple logo stickers as a badge of honor anymore. Like the people putting it on their bumper or rear windshield, on their not-Mac laptop or phone case, or somewhere in their cubicle or workdesk where everybody could see. Those little white apple stickers were everywhere in nyc and it's suburbs like 13 years ago. So many people trying so hard to let everybody know. I wonder if high schoolers even care anymore
