That's not how this works, but thank you for the silver lining here. People try to be good, even if Elon and Tesla are bad.

This is especially true right now, when the enormous gulf between the wealthy and poor is the worst we've seen in living memory.

People are struggling to pay their rent, and yet Apple is over here selling this bullshit to people.

I was just at the store today, and overheard some kids asking when cereal got so expensive.

It illustrated just how rapidly they increased the prices.

And rice is delicious! I like sticky sushi rice myself. Throw some chicken on there and you've got a meal!

Have you looked? I mean, that question is rhetorical... No, you haven't.

You should check out the competition. Samsung makes some great devices, razer makes some great devices. Even Google makes solid competition, though I prefer others over them.

They notoriously sell older components and technologies in their brand new computers.

I have one I got for free that was made in 2020. It's a MacBook Air. It has 8gb of RAM... I don't even know how they found RAM chips that small in 2020. It freezes every day when all I'm doing is running a web browser. This computer was $1,000 at the time it launched.

Apple also holds over 95,500 patents. I will never get why some people defend this crazy company. They make underperforming computers and sell them for wayyy over their value.

My galaxy watch I bought many years ago has this same feature, is cheaper, and looks amazing. I got the "classic" model with the turning frame. It's an outstanding watch even to this day. No lag, great battery, and very bright even in sunlight.

I'll settle for sawing off Los Angeles and letting it float off into the distance.

That sounds horrible... I've never seen these, though. I don't use anything special so far as I know. I'm on Windows 10 on one computer I run all day, and Windows 11 for the one I use all evening.

Assuming you're not making this up, could Microsoft be rolling these out only to specific individuals for a trial run, or something? I don't even have Windows Pro...

Or... actually... I built my computers from the ground up. Did you buy yours from HP, Dell, or another manufacturer? Could THEY be putting ads into their updates somehow?

You replied to someone that strongly asserted that non-Apple devices are convoluted, difficult to use, and confusing. You did so by agreeing that you also hate difficult to use, confusing, and convoluted technologies.

This struck me as disingenuous. I apologize if you are, indeed, not an Apple fan in an active state of disingenuity. This said, if you are to be believed, then I don't understand what your comment was adding to the conversation here. Was your entire point truly that you simply dislike confusing technology? Did that really need to be said?
