  • Mac is Linux? You debug it the exact same way, except unlike Linux, you don’t have to worry about 50 different distros, so it’s a lot easier to find solutions. Debugging a hardware issue is just as hard as any other platform… what are you even trying?

  • I have had 4 different Macs in that time and currently have three that I do not have that problem on. One of the comments on that post points out that it’s not supposed to do that. It really does sound like a very small portion of users are affected by that. I will say that none of my current or former coworkers have ever had that happen (I’ve seen them on video calls put on headphones and it didn’t launch anything), so I’m very inclined to think this was unintended behavior affecting your device. That’s not to say it wasn’t a problem for you, I completely understand shitty Mac bugs ruining things. For example one that won’t let my computer go to sleep because the monitor it is connected with continually wakes it back up. It’s specifically a Mac issue, and only affects a very small fraction of a percent of users.

  • Well you can install a menu bar app if you want. Just like you can with any other system. I don’t ever care about the weather so I want my menubar as clean as possible, so I use bartender to hide almost everything.

  • Hmm that’s really weird. Thank you for the example, but I wonder if that was just on your computer or something. I’ve been using Mac for work computers since 2016, and my Bose QC-35s never once have caused the music app to open. Or any app for that matter. I’ve had my headphones since 2016 and been using them on every Mac since then and haven’t seen that behavior.

  • When it’s the first event for anything, you’re not going to get the best. That’s just the fact of the matter. Some are going to sit out, some aren’t going to hear about it at all, some just won’t want to participate because it’s the IOC. And sometimes athletes just have a bad day. As plenty of actual breakers have pointed out, she’s not that bad, she was having a bad day. It’s pretty clear that memes are doing overtime on spreading misinformation this year.

  • Yeah I’ve literally never had anyone bail on a party. If they are they just aren’t your friends (if they’re doing it consistently, things do happen of course).

    I don’t agree with the invite everyone thing, but my brother-in-law does that and it seems to work for him. My wife and I hate it though because he always invites the worst people just because he’s trying to make sure people actually show up. So we get terrible ex girlfriends at things like a family camping weekend.

  • The reasoning is just entirely backwards. I don’t even bike and I know that adding bike lanes, even without someone using them reduces traffic collisions in cars alone. Not to mention it reduces congestion by reducing the number of lanes.

  • So micro usb, the literal worst standardized usb connector in existence, is what you are claiming is better than an iPhone’s omnidirectional lighting connector.

    And you know how I can tell you haven’t ever touched an iPad? 🤦‍♂️ “an elongated iPod touch” smdh.

  • Option click is still possible, it just works slightly differently. I literally did it yesterday on my Sequoia work system.

    use a different desktop environment

    Fair, I think this is one of the worst parts of the Linux “ecosystem”, as it completely fucks anyone that doesn’t know to use whatever the “current hotness” is, but I understand a lot of people like it.

    uninstall OS components…

    Like what? You mean like running without a login screen or do you mean uninstalling something like systemd?

    be absolutely certain…

    You can do that with plenty of network scanning apps, and you shouldn’t be doing that on device anyway. Not sure how Linux would stop that when you could install a bad package, or run apt update on something that has had a supply chain vulnerability.

    run 32 bit apps

    Fair. I haven’t needed this since about two months after Apple made the change, because Apple sure does a good job of getting developers to update their code, but I’m sure there are still some apps people wish worked that never updated.

    play video games

    Yeah video games on Mac are terrible, no argument there. Literally the only reason I still have a windows computer. Soon as they force 11, I’m switching back to a Linux desktop, but honestly I’m not looking forward to it.

    take my laptop

    You can do that now and you could before, Apple just didn’t like it and they made it as hard as possible. I agree it’s a shit policy, but I’m mostly asking about the operating system here. For example you could be running a hackintosh.

  • So absolutely nothing to do with Mac at all. And you’re referencing a cable that hasn’t been used in literally over a decade and comparing it to a a cable that you’re using now? You do realize Android phones in 2010 used proprietary cables too, right?
