Boywhiz88 posted:See, I don't get this complaint. The first 3 gens of iPod used FireWire. Then they introduced the dock connector which allowed USB and FireWire. This would have been around 2004. It's not until 2012 that the Lightning port was introduced, and it's p great in terms of charging improvements and being able to insert it no matter what. Everyone else just uses USB and has since the beginning of time also don't forget USB-C, introduced so that your laptop requires even more dongles and adapters to function

loquacius posted:Everyone else just uses USB and has since the beginning of time Yeah but USB took its time to get there. USB 2.0 wasn't really prevalent when the iPod was introduced. And it's not like Apple didn't include USB 2.0 as time went on. And I would argue that Lightning spurred the development of USB-C. Have you seen micro-USB 3.0? It's ridiculous and huge!

I actually had a gen-1 iPod, and I connected it to my computer with a USB cable, and Apple could have just made both ends of that USB cable USB ports but did not for reasons (special-snowflake reasons)

Every time I wake my iPad up it brings up a message that says I can upgrade the software and won't let me do anything else until I go through two menus and promise to seriously honestly consider upgrading my device. gently caress you Apple.

loquacius posted:Oh yeah and also how they use their own special-snowflake cables and ports and you have to buy adapter dongles from them for like $20 each to use any normal computer cable ports, and Apple fans always act really entitled about how they can't seem to find ports for Apple's special-snowflake cables anywhere, like it's everyone else's fault except Apple that Apple decided to use a weird port no one else uses I think lighting bolt was about having an unattenuting digital signal and thunderbolt is about having threaded kernel processes over cable.

reallivedinosaur posted:Paint.NET does everything I've ever needed it to do - except the few times I've needed to do something with a vector, then I used Inkscape. Yeah Mac=Artist is the justification anyone I've ever known that has a Mac uses one. When my local community college got a technology grant instead of buying any other sane choice they ended up with some airbooks and a $8000 Mac workstation, all of which were completely useless because all of our software licenses were on Windows and there was no money left to buy a special Mac version of every single program. I had this same PC Vs Mac argument with the dumbass instructor that ended up wasting like $20,000 because "Macs=Art." I've had the same argument with my best friend who any time they ever have any money buys a Mac to make a statement that they are an artist, despite never making any art. Then they make me emulate windows on their Mac that cost triple the price it should have so that they can do normal computer poo poo

Fat Shat Sings posted:Yeah Mac=Artist is the justification anyone I've ever known that has a Mac uses one. I encounter this a lot - I work at a company of digital artists, there are about 60 of us over 3 offices, and whenever someone comes by for a meeting or just to hang, 9/10 times they comment on the fact that nobody has a mac. Half the software we use isnt made for macs and the software that is runs like total poo poo. It's a pretty useful way of vetoing people who come for job interviews too. macs are for people who think of themselves as artists, and are in love with the idea of being one.

Macs are just Intel machines that run linux. Seriously, bring up a term window and it'll take just about every linux command you feed it. The artist argument is redundant since the transition to Intel because they'll render just as fast as a comparable Windows machine.

I recommend Apple laptops because they are pretty well built and have a price defense built in since there are no cheap garbage models. I know if I recommend some kind of ~$1k Dell or ASUS laptop they'd end up getting some Black Friday $350 version instead thinking that it was almost the same and then blame me when it falls apart.

Apple products are a walled garden, THIS IS TOTAL BULLSHIT! Android products are superior because they're OPEN! You can do ANYTHING on Android, the clearly superior phone operating system! *never installs anything other than base installed apps* *waits 6 months for a bug fix to be localized to their model of phone* "Heh, stupid Apple buyers."

loquacius posted:Is it worth it to buy or pirate Photoshop anymore even or could you do basically any image editing you'd need with GIMP or, hell, Paint.NET? Audacity sucks for doing anything besides basic editing. The benefit to using Apple is for using Logic and not having to install Asio drivers. Ableton is probably a better tool overall, but logic is definitely prettier.

Ableton is probably a better tool overall, but logic is definitely prettier. Most people who aren't literal music pros can use Audacity for basically anything they need, but I guess Logic/Ableton are like the Photoshop equivalents that actual professionals require There doesn't seem to be a good free/open-source alternative like GIMP for this use case, which is annoying but as your post pointed out it's not like no software for this exists on Windows. Ableton seems kind of expensive but there's always Pro Tools or FL Studio which seem to be available for about $100.

If Windows 8.1 and 10 hadn't come out, I would have considered a jump back to PC but 10's basic OS stability seems to be so dogshit that I just can't see myself making the move. Meanwhile, my 8yo MacBook finally is out of the upgrade cycle. That's dope as hell to me.

I dusted off the Dell Inspiron that my parents gave me last year and upgraded to windows 10. After removing the bloatware and stupid pop-ups, it's running better than 7. Now I can irradiate my balls and warm my lap with current gen software and 10 year old hardware!

gary oldmans diary posted:the beauty of the iphone is there is an absolutely direct succession of products and product obsolescence this is the post equivalent of one of those "THERES GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY" videos where someone takes something incredibly simple, like Android OS versions and trips over a table and kills themselves because they didn't have babies first telephone to have that version number in the name. "If Phone no say version number how I know? Galaxy S3 may have worse android than LG G3. Is too confuse for caveman brain. Need "PHONE ONE" "PHONE TWO" "PHONE THREE" so me not have trouble. "
