I thought Apple was an Irish company.

Anyway, I guess that some haven’t heard of contact manufacturing.

I think they're a double Irish with a Dutch sandwich company, actually.

Actually it was marketing guys that took over. They soldered the memory into their laptops so you can’t upgrade them now and have a limited shelf life. They let you use your face and fingerprints to sign in do they can appease @NSA_Dawg (who is a regular visitor to the tech companies).

So uhhhh.....animated emojis? Fuck. Steve Jobs is rolling in his alleged graves sipping martinis in Mexico.

I remember buying my Hispanic kid her laptop before venturing off to college where she's taking up a spot OBK's niece wanted but didn't get.

The American white kid explains the soldering poont to me and I'm like, " I don't know shit about tech but that seems like a bad idea."

He's trying to sell me a $3400 laptop so he doubles down like a Tug poster. Tells me it's always been that way. Fortunately one of my other Hispanic kids is with me, whose laptop I'd purchased a mere three years earlier for her sojourn to an elite eastern college that rejected OBK's nephew for probably the same spot. She poonted out to the American Patriot that her laptop's memory chip is not soldered and in fact she had it with her because our next order of business was to have them upgrade the memory. It's moments like this that inspire me to breed like a Mormon.

Dont forget its an extra 300 bucks for more ram!!!

I have one rule when buying electronic trinkets: Don't let myself get fucked over. I don't care if Phone XYZ is the "best phone"; if I can't quadruple the memory with a $15 microSD card, fuck that phone. Laptop with soldered memory? Fuck that. Non-upgradable hard drive/SSD? Fuck that. Non-unlockable bootloader? Fuck that. Have to pay a monthly fee to OnStar just to change the default charging amperage to the car at home? Fuuuuuuck you, GM.

And I thought macos was supposed to be so great?

It's an absolute piece of shit in an office setting. Helping these morons from a company we just bought get programs working, hooking up to the printer, etc is a disaster.
If someone besides one of my owners asked for a macbook I'd light them on fire.

The only people who should be using apple products are teenage girls and old people who are invested in the ecosystem and too tech retarded to learn anything new.

Maybe @Ballz

I work in an industrial setting. We used to have these circa-1998 devices that look like a graphing calculator that we bring out onto the process unit and enter readings onto daily. They're finally reaching end of life and will no longer be supported, so the company has to switch over to a tablet-based system. What do they go with? iPads. Of course the rollout has been a total fucking nightmare. "So the smart move for the company is to buy the most expensive tablet possible (many of which will be destroyed per year) that has a different OS than everything else in the plant and then very expensively port all of the Windows-based software over to them?"
