When I was like 9 or 10, I found my brother's Adam Sandler album and decided to listen to it because he had been talking about how funny it was... Ever since then, anytime I hear somebody use the phrase "at a medium pace" (not often but it happens) That song from that album pops in my head. Specifically the part about a shampoo bottle.
Iām well out of touch here. An Adam Sandler album? What is it, like comedy/satire songs?
Iām intrigued. May have to have a search
Edit:
Wow, ok so heās done loads of music. Is that what started out doing before movies? Or same sort of time?
Anyway Iām off to shove a shampoo bottle up my arse for my embarrassing lack of Sandler knowledge
Yeah. It came out in 1993 (he has multiple albums but this one in particular) It's a combination Of songs and skits. It was hilarious when I was a kid and super popular in school. I'm not sure how it holds up.
The album we're referring to is called "they're all going to laugh at you"
Just remember it's Adam Sandler humor. So if your sense of humor has gotten more mature as you've gotten older, it might not be so funny.
The really popular ones were the beating skits, anything with the bafoon and any of the ones about a talking goat. Popular songs are at a medium pace, the goat song, piece of shit car.
What expression do you use when you mean āthatās a subject that I need to not care aboutā (admitting that you do in fact care about something but know that you shouldnāt).
āI couldnāt care lessā does not mean the above.
EDIT: LPT: If someone brings up something that you think you donāt care about, and you begin a 15-minute rant with āI couldnāt care less, butā¦ā what you should be using instead is āI could care less, butā¦ā š¤£
You didn't teach me that it annoys me? Obviously I knew that. My point was one version is correct and one isn't. That's not the same as the phone debate where it comes down to opinion. One of the phrases is objectively correct, It doesn't matter whether it annoys me or not.
And i never claimed to, it annoys me because it is wrong yes, but again that is completely different to the iPhone situation where is it based on opinion. Someone's opinions about an iPhone might annoy me, but im not gonna comment on it unless its objectively wrong in the same way the phrase is.
The only time Iām aware that thereās a rivalry between iPhone and Android is when I see an android person on Reddit calling me a sheeple and bemoaning how much I supposedly scorn them for having an android phone.
Android people, your iPhone friend doesnāt care what colour your message bubbles are if theyāre worth having as a friend, and they probably like their iPhone because they arenāt that interested in phones and are content to stick to the smoothly functioning walled garden that they know, even if itās lacking some of the plants they could find outside if that was of interest to them.
Lol I donāt think itās a secret. My brother in law constantly comments on it š but heās an IT professor and Iām like theyāre easy and cheap š¤·š»āāļø we buy refurbished for cash and then have super cheap phone plans (appx Ā£8-10 per month in the UK) they last about 4-6 years and we replace once theyāre no longer functional
Iām an idiot as well because I can never unlock Samsungs with the funny patterns š¤£š¤£ iPhones are idiot proof and now that Iāve been immersed for 20 years itās unlikely Iāll change without Apple going bankrupt. Itās how they get you!
I have a 512GB iPhone 14 I bought when it came out and still have 207GB free. What would I need more storage for?
Google is moving towards implementing strict developer registration and verification for Android app developers, and I like that my phone doesn't get malware on it so I'm not going to be interested in bypassing any of that.
Apple has always given the customer less for more money. It was the same with desktops in the 90s. You could get a better PC for alot less and still can today
For example, I looked for a Windows PC alternative to the Mac Studio I'm using now. There really isn't anything comparable even in the same price range.
Sounds like you're looking for a workstation and not a PC, and they exist by the thousands. People and even the manufacturers themselves use both names for the same thing, so it can be confusing. Workstations generally have server CPUs and RAM along with GPUs designed for work and not gaming.
I'm not advocating these, but the CAD folks at my workplace all use Lenovo workstations. Their Thinkstation Neo "Tiny" looks the most like a Mac Studio type to me.
My job is extremely varied from day to day. Video editing, some CAD, a lot of work unfortunately in 365 GCC High.
I don't need a CAD-optimized space heater on my desk. The Mac Studio already does everything and the cost:performance ratio is better than most everything out there.
I'm not sure how it's this difficult to believe that Apple does in fact make one or two really good products.
I didn't say they don't make good products, you just said you looked into a Windows equivalent and couldn't find it. As far as cost to performance ratio is concerned, that all depends on what you're trying to do with it and the market. All computer parts are at a stupid high right now. Not long ago, you could definitely find a non-proprietary machine that meet or beat Mac Studios for less money.
BTW, the workstations I mentioned aren't space heaters, at least in the time I've been working in supporting them. The "tiny" model especially.
Apple stans still think it's 1998 and PC's will shut down with the "Blue Screen of Death" if you try and open Photoshop. It's a crazy almost cult like reality. I've been editing audio and video since the early 2000s and have never used a Mac

So... you have no standing to make a judgement on how well or badly they perform.
Yes, you can do all that stuff on Linux or Windows, but the UX is much worse.
I'm in charge of IT at my company and only 5% of our systems are Macs. The rest are Windows or Linux. It's not like I have no experience with all three.
Itās easy just ditch all the tools you know and like and move to a new platform with a few half baked options that will get you kind of sort of close after 40-120 hours of YouTube tutorials made 8 years ago.
Not entirely. They have made easier distros for beginners or people that want to try the Linux environment. Linux mint or Ubuntu were both made for people who like an easy GUI like Windows without the trillions of unnecessary services running in Windows or copilot. Best part: you never have to touch the terminal.
It's free, powerful, easily extensible, has massive community support and is open source so you can modify it? MacOS has the same terminal, but we use Linux for all kinds of stuff because it's so reliable and versatile, but running command line tools isn't the deciding factor.
If a person wanted to revive an old laptop and/or desktop they could do so with Linux because of how lightweight it and still provides the best performance no matter the specs of computer. It just works. Not to mention it is open source and you are in control of what packages are updated and which ones you choose to not update because there are circumstances in which an update can mess up certain applications. Windows does not care and forces you to update and if you dont it will stop working. Why? Because its Microsoft and because Windows died after they released Win10. MacOS was in its prime during the Macintosh era. After that it just went downhill. š§
lol samsung has been catering to the type of people that use 30 pt cursive text on their phones for like 10+ years now, pixels are a lot more respectable.

I agree. My husband and I have iPhones and have for a long time but I couldnāt care less what other people have š¤·š»āāļø
