Just search for “Firefox Chan”. And maybe keep on SafeSearch too…

So… never read Apples privacy policy huh?

TIL: Graphics Image Manipulation Program is an ableist slur

No, you tried making the false equivalence of claiming that if it cant be fixed for cheap, then it somehow isnt fixable at all.

So it’s i can’t get a car fixed for less than $100, I guess that means cars aren’t fixable?

Upgrading isn’t repairing, and I said you can repair these devices. My question is what CAN’T you repair, not what can be repaired (which is what I did answer).

What part can’t be repaired? Some parts may be soldered to the board, but the board can be fixed without Googles blessing.

And upgrades were never a part of the original comment, so what does that have to do with my comment?

We are talking about Android, not Apple.

Android phones can be user repaired and repaired by third parties without Googles permission.

Buy a used one then. Google won’t see your money then.

Or wait a little longer. https://piunikaweb.com/2025/11/19/grapheneos-to-release-non-pixel-flagship-phone-in-q4-2026-or-in-2027/

In a revealing discussion with David Bombal, the GrapheneOS team confirmed they are actively working with a “top-tier Android OEM” to bring their hardened operating system to non-Google flagship devices.

You supposed to be drinking vodka with it. Helps with the flavor.

Because the article is badly written.

It’s confusing money spend on X must equal time spent on X.

The total amount of money spend on video games has gone done but more money is now being spent on things like crypto currency. This is being claimed that it means that people are spending more time on crypto since they are spending more money there. It ignores other issues such as who is spending on what (its countries as a whole, not amlunt on average per user), gaming is more expensive, more games are being made as a live service and are flopping (Highguard anyone?), retro gaming is getting bigger (doesn’t cost a fortune), etc…

The other down side, 7 years of OS support before its EOL. Windows 10 gave at least 10, and then there is Linux.

Apple has the worst product life support/quickest forced obsolescence in the industry.

Assuming thats the same MacBook, its e-waste right now. Any Mac from 2017 isn’t getting any updates anymore, OS or security. Maybe they could get Linux on it, but that’s its only chance to get an up to date OS on it.

No, its to say that using Macs lower your socioeconomic status and abilities.

“Turn right and then turn left” I’ve had this exact instruction before and would easily lead to this situation. In these types of moments, odds are you are looking and the road and not the screen so rely on the audio commands.

Except they don’t. Sure, if your comparing a $500 Windows laptop to a $2000 MacBook, then yes this is correct, but once you start comparing computers of the same price tag then it gets different. The parts on the Windows devices tend to be newer, faster, better screen/touch screen, and longer supported. Apple supports their computers for around 7 years before they can’t be updated, Windows on average 10 years. And yes, Windows computers do last 10+ years, everyone is complaining very loudly how their 10+ year old Win10 machine isnt getting updates anymore and cant install Win11.

Who said they knew the road well? It could be their first time there and the phones map told them a left turn was coming up.

For a little more (ebay showed between 100-150) you could get a used “new 3ds” which is quite good. Easily plays 3DS games, as well as all the older games using the TWiLight Menu app.

“Uses Kernel Level Anti-Cheat RICOCHET Anti-Cheat Boot Protection - Requires both Secure Boot & TPM 2.0”

“Uses Kernel Level Anti-Cheat EA Javelin Anticheat - Requires manual removal after game uninstall Boot Protection - Requires both Secure Boot & TPM 2.0”

You forgot the MacOS Sequoia requires a T2 chip, which is Apple’s version of the TPM 2.0. So claiming it as a negative for Windows but not for MacOS feels very bias.

As for the CPU, MacOS needs a at minimum a 4 core i3 (lowest supported CPU) that’s running at 3.6 GHZ. This is a much higher minimum for Windows 11.

The storage requirements aren’t being compared the same. The MacOS storage listing is how much MacOS storage space is taken and not how large a drive should be to store and run. Windows 11 takes around 27-30 GB of space when installed, which is less than MacOS.

In short, MacOS does take up more resources to run. The difference is Apple is strict in cutting off which systems can run it to prevent the end user from noticing the bloat whereas Windows will let you install it on a much slower base system.

(Yes, you can override the MacOS requirements with open core legacy patcher, but you can also override spec requirements such as the TPM 2.0 requirements of Windows with unofficial patches. The difference is, you’ll notice MacOS starts to get real sluggish on older MacOS because they don’t have that extra power the newer versions need. I noticed it myself when I used OCLP to forcefully upgrade MacOS on unsupported hardware).

Me explaining what “Insert Disk 2 of 5” means.
