More people should know there actually are adapters for different brands of batteries on amazon, and thingiverse if you have a 3D printer

- Comment on apple users in a nutshell 1 year ago:
Also a programmer :) I still wanna be able to actually browse my file system with a GUI at times.
Dunno how you manage that with the fans. Everyone where I work has the same complaint. It was even worse at my old job that used the intel macbook pros that were before the m1, the fan was even louder and would always stick to 100% after a while, like it couldn’t adjust itself and just ran at full speed. We couldn’t really solve it either.
Anyways, the os is just way to clunky and developer-unfriendly for me. We’re actively trying to get new laptops so that we can finally ditch these macbooks. Maybe if we were frontend-only they would be more suitable?
- Comment on apple users in a nutshell 1 year ago:
This has to be some kind of joke, right? I have an M1 macbook through my job and it is absolutely horrible. For starters, the file system is absolutely horrible and “dumbed down” and requires you to learn special button-combinations to even find files, the UI in general is “form over function” times 100, and ooooh the horror of not having snappable windows. Also the fan is horribly loud and is often at 100% due to the terrible thermals. Sounds like a jet engine.
I’ve had it for over 2 years now and use it daily but it still feels like I have to battle and force it to be able to do what I want. The trackpad is nice though!

It’s perfectly fine to stay, just saying you don’t have to buy it haha. I bypassed the CPU restrictions to upgrade to win 11 because it had updates that I genuinely wanted, like tabs in file explorer etc. It’s genuinely fine, as long as you move that damn taskbar to the left

It’s a free upgrade

As someone from Scandinavia, I’ve wondered for quite some time but been too scared to ask; How has Trump’s presidency actually damaged anything? Did he actually do anything worse than the previous presidents, except being super blunt at speeches? (Honest question, sorry if I sound like a supporter of any political party <3 )

Funnily enough, here in Scandinavia next to nobody uses WhatsApp, we pretty much exclusively use sms/RCS/iMessage and Snapchat. Sometimes Messanger. Weird how different it is

Okay so now that it has encryption, what is the security risk?

Everytime I discuss apple vs android with colleagues, it always boils down to “but come one, you can’t take someone with green bubbles seriously”. And we all work as developers for god’s sake. iPhone users are more shallow than you think.
