computer ranting 

Good lord I hate Apple devices.
I hate them so much.
They're obstinate and argumentative and nitpicky about the most ridiculous shit.
"Oh I'm sorry I can't connect to this WiFi network because one of your WiFi extenders is the wrong country"
"What are you talking about?? They're all set to Europe because all of Europe uses the same wi-fi standards??"
"Yeah but is the UK REALLY Europe??"
"What."

"okay we got a sweet new connector called DisplayPort that's better than anything else!"
"Oh wow actually yeah display port is really good we should all support it."
"... Wait what"
"Hey yeah! Let's support mini dp for our monitors as well and pc graphics cards!"
"NEW PLAN we're gonna use the same form factor as mini dp but it's THUNDERBOLT NOW. No it's not fully compatible go fuck yourselves"

I honestly have no problem at all with people who use and enjoy Apple products. I'm not gonna lie, they've made some genuinely attractive and VERY good products over the years.

Their insistence on refusing to use existing standards seemingly to just lock everyone else out of their "special club" and force end users to buy their specific stuff is fucking awful though.
