  • Lifelong iOS hater who moved to iOS 2 years ago here. They’re different strokes for different folks.

    If you’re like I used to be, get an Android! Flash a custom ROM on it! All the freedom is amazing.

    Now I have an iPhone. It may even lack some features Android has. It gets them slower. But the experience is ridiculously polished and consistent. This is a device I can’t have fail on me.

    I still use Linux on my gaming PC and one of my work laptops. I love it. I love fiddling with things. I just want my phone to be an appliance like my fridge now. I buy it and forget it for the next few years.







  • Born in that time frame. Windows XP was just finicky as hell, no matter how much praise it got later. If you wanted your Internet to work you just had to flush the DNS cache or just disable and re-enable the interface occasionally. Hell, same for my mouse - occasionally had to use the keyboard to disable and re-enable the mouse drivers.

    Now shit just works. Only reason I’ve had to fiddle around so much in recent years is that I used Gentoo for a couple of years. Though by the time I was bored with it, it worked better than Windows XP ever did.


  • Given that a lot of other people are praising him and his videos, could you maybe point out some of these mistakes?

    I know it could probably be googled, but it’s always better to come to a discussion with information if you’re going to criticize someone or something (to be fair - it’s also better to have information if you’re praising someone or something)
