My desktop PC stays on through out the day, but I turn it off when I’m sleeping, mostly because it flashes the power button LED in sleep mode, which sometimes prevents me from sleeping. I usually turn of the monitor for the same reason (LED button stays on).

My macbook is set to sleep/lock itself after some period of inactivity, and when I’m done for the day, I usually just close it. The only time I fully turn it off is when I’m traveling and trying to save as much battery as I can.

yeah but then people will have incentive to die at disneyland. wouldn’t want to enable such behaviour

Olive oil, a little white vinegar, a little sugar and salt, diced avocado. When you mix it up, the edges of the avocado pieces get smashed and mixed into the salad, giving it just enough of a creamy texture

The worst outcome of torrenting without a VPN depends on what country you live in. In the US, theoretically the worst thing that can happen is going to prison for many years and paying a huge fine, but as long as you’re not monetarily profiting somehow, realistically you’ll get multiple warnings to stop from your ISP and the government before it escalates to that point. The worst thing that can happen is your ISP cancels your service and blacklists you, which can be bad if they have a monopoly on internet service in your area.

Probably debian or slackware, there weren’t that many in 1999

if you want to upgrade the OS, you have to pay once again

they haven’t charged for OS updates since 2010 or so

you cannot get rid of bloatware, only hide it

fair but unlike bloatware on other operating systems, it’s mostly unobtrusive (doesn’t run in the background, at least to the point where performance is affected). also this seems to apply to many OEM android ROMs?

they use pentalobe screws instead or regular ones

also a fair criticism but it’s not like I’m opening it every day (some apple devices I’ve owned I never had to open) and you can get screwdrivers for like $5 if you really need one

anyways I have an iPhone and a macbook pro. the iPhone I like because the overall experience feels “smoother” even though some of the higher end androids might have better specs on paper and might be a little faster on benchmarks. idk I know this sounds stupid as fuck but it might just be way things are animated and the overall visual design, I just find it less annoying to use. at this point the most concrete advantages android has are the real file browser and sideloading, but I personally don’t need those. I last used an android in 2021-2022 and almost never used them

the macbook I bought because my stupid job only allows remote work if you provide your own hardware, and at the time they started allowing remote work, I was working on an iOS app. I was a mac user a long time before, so I was excited about “returning” but honestly I found it underwhelming, mostly because it still has the problem that caused me to switch to PC in the first place - poor compatibility with mainstream software. the one nice thing about macbooks (or at least the specific one I got, the M1 pro) is that they’re super quiet compared to windows laptops, the loudest it gets is on the level of the average windows laptop at idle. also they have better touchpads, though touchpads in general are bad. I don’t hate it but I don’t think I’ll be buying another one again. If I have to get a mac for iOS development or something in the far future I’ll just get the cheapest secondhand mac mini suitable for the job.

that’s not a bug
