Topic name is "Are you a PC or a Mac User?" Not Apple Vs android Vs Samsung.

But to add to that, Samsung make a very good phone but everyone has to admit that this is gay:

Everything down to the store layout to the blue shirts but their shirts are just a little lighter than Apples. Fail. So Samsung owners will now be "pretentious" like iPhone owners. Sad but thats what they are trying to be :(

But i find it strange that 90% of the people who have a bit of technical knowledge will go round to family members houses / friends houses fixing typical Windows issues again and again to then turn around and go oh yeah Apple computers are shit.

You cant really be that obsessed with Windows to think that Apple computers are not good for a person who has no knowledge about computers at all.

If you don't know shit about Computers Apple computers are more simple to use (get over it you know they are more simple you can at least admit that). If you know your shit and can fix your own problems then get Windows or Linux or something.

There are reasons why Windows is good and why Apple is good there are also reasons why Apple is bad and Windows is bad. Both types have there different uses and there own target audiences. If you were a bigger business with 100 computers it would be silly to pick Apple. If you were a couple in there 70s trying to get there head around computers Apple might be a better option.

Different horses for different courses. Pros and Cons for both.

Another iMac here has eaten shit. 24" less than 2 years old. Doing exactly the same as the other one which bit the dust recently; locking solid with no option but to hard reboot. Did a Prime95/Real Temp test and one of the cores was sitting at 93 with the rest at mid 80s.

We only have eight Macs in the office (and twenty eight PCs) and the score is 2-0.

Why the need for the macs at the office? Would be way easier to get them all running on the same system rather than the few odd ones out, would be annoying.

Developers and arty farty people have them.

The developers need OS about once a year (they run Windows 99.99999999% of the time) and for some reason arty farty people are incapable of operating windows based machines.

Couldn't possibly be because the software they need is Mac only could it? :whistling:

I highly doubt it these days, the whole macs have more power for graphic design bla bla is a load of crap. To get the true benefits of mac you need the whole iWank ecosystem, phone, laptop, network gear the whole lot.

Macs are great for non tehcnical people, much like my phag friends who don't drive manual because it requires too much effort.

And on topic, I actually use both. PC and Lappy for home and a mac air when I need a keyboard and not at home. Both have their benefits and draw backs.

Also mac air > iPad. 13" book is the same size but has a keyboard, more power, storage and external ports

Nope, there's nothing they use which isn't Windows compatible.

I agree with. I've tried to need a tablet to the point of taking the work ones home for a few weeks (and for all intents and purposes it was mine for that time) but I simply don't get it. I'm far more inclined to take my lappy with me if I'm going to be mobile and if I'm at home it's either my phone or desktop that I use. It simply didn't change even when i had full access to a tablet 24/7.

While I want a tablet, it's not strong enough for me to go out and get one and the more I try to need one the more I think they are bullshit. The only time I could see an absolute need for one is when I'm sitting on a train which happens maybe once every 6 months. Once my wife goes back to work I may have to catch the train a couple days a week (so I can do a baby shuttle between the grandparents and our house) so would get one, but outside of that I've failed to see the reason why.

Its the whole want vs need thing, damn advertisers and their sneaky subliminal messages

I have a GTR but I don't actually need one ;)

Yeah, but your GTR is useful. I have yet to find a use for a tablet that my desktop or lappy don't do better.

Would you buy a Commonwhore if you had an M3 and a 916 in the shed at home?

Tablets are great but need a keyboard. I have an iPad with a Logitech ultra thin KB, it's sweet.

Laptops typically have worse battery life, and worse screens.

Good thing about my iPad is its pretty much a laptop until I detach the keyboard and then its a tablet again.

Wouldn't try to get any serious work done on it, but for what I use it for (uni, email, games, movies, books) it's farking perfect.

Notice how all the windows tablets are coming out with keyboards? :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
