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

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

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? :)

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
