    If you have a pc that does not work without the vendors consent, it is not your device. I get the adobe thing but I hope they get forced to open up to other platforms, maybe through webinterfaces. Apple can get fucked in particular.

    Congrats on the gaming pc though.

      Macs work perfectly fine with Linux. Apple doesn’t lock down their desktop devices. For their older Ibtel based Macs they even had windows drivers and while they don’t provide drivers for their Apple Silicon Macs, the open source community (particularly the asahi linux project) was quick to reverse engineer them. It’s not perfect yet but Apple isn’t keeping them from getting there and it’s definitely very useable already, should Apple stop first party support. And for now they still have said first party support anyways.

        Great thing. Apple still sucks because of how they treat their other products. I have a perfectly functioning ipad3 lte at home which I would have to tether-jaipbreak just to use it as anything but a picture frame.

          Oh yea, not defending Apple in general. Love their products but hate their attitude about them.

          Just, Apple has so many valid points to be criticized about and yet people often pick the ones that either never were actually true or haven’t been in years.
