Comment on Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it
carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Apple fan here, and I love what they’ve done with hardware the last few years. That said…. I have to agree. Base RAM config is silly low, and higher RAM and SSD configs are stupid expensive. It’s a money maker for sure, I wish it wasn’t so obviously a cash grab. I’d be ok with a bit more padding in the base hardware price if the ram was so expensive to upgrade.
In the old days this was a moot point because you buy base config and immediately swap for after market big sticks- I did that for decades, but these days with soldered RAM and storage…. Eh, it’s a bit of a kick in the balls.
I am stoked for my new M3 next week though, good thing work pays for it!

Jealousy is more like it. MacOS is amazing.

MacOS is the worst part about Apple. Their hardware is amazing, but the software (third and first party) sucks.

How so? It’s a polished Unix desktop that runs most open-source and a bunch of proprietary apps, including Final Cut and Logic. It’s natively POSIX and has a proper shell.

I haven’t had any problems 🤷♂️

Many Linux distros support Mac devices.

MacOS is extremely barebones. Almost two years ago I got a MacBook to work on a customer project. Until then I’ve only been on Linux and Windows 10. And boy was I in for a surprise. I kind of got used to it, but let me give you a few examples.
You want to tab between windows and not apps? Better pay for an app. You want to snap your windows left or right? An app. You want to control which app outputs to which audio device? You guessed it - an app. Clipboard? App. Configure mouse acceleration? An app (linear mouse).
I mean, the OS is polished and looks great. And if all you do is swoosh windows left and right in Starbucks, that’s all you need. But for anyone else it’s just sad how little it supports out of the box.

Jesus Christ it has most of those things. What are you even talking about?
PEBCAK

Yyyeeeeaaaaa…… those all exist within MacOS natively.

Tab between windows: Alt+~
All the other stuff is available for free so why does it matter that it doesn’t come with it if 99.9% of people don’t need it?

For what? Or at what?

If you were asking that genuinely I’d answer. But I’m trolling you all just as much as you think you’re trolling me.
