Mac is the only way work will let me use bash. You can pry my MacBook from my cold, dead, hands if it meant I have to go back to Windows/pwsh.

If you buy an Apple product, you don't actually own it.

I'd say if you buy a smartphone, it's highly unlikely that you own it

At least it's easier to modify the software side of things on Android, even replacing the whole system is possible in many cases.

Used to sell Apple gear. One of the sales managers still owes me an apology for embarrassing me in front of customers, and then returning a week later and repeating what I said and not admitting they were wrong).

But, gave up on windows finally. The Xbox console gives me a black screen on Windows, and got sick of edge hijacking my chrome tabs and cookies

Apple's attitude sucks, but at this point, Microsoft keeps doing weird things in Windows

I was a dyed in the wool apple evangelist through the 90s and early 00s, I was excited about every new drop and seeing the advancement of OSX from the beginning, waiting in lines for iPhones on. Day 1.

But they just lost their way, and I can't do it anymore. Too many decisions that showed they didn't care about their professional users. I don't know that I think anything out there is actually better, but certainly better value and better control. I miss the ease, but I'm voting with my money and I can't support a company that abandoned the users that were there from the start, certainly not at the price point they command.
