Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

    Overpriced hardware comes with a boon: It lasts longer. I am by no means an apple fanboy, but when I discovered the 12 year old Mac of my dad still performed like mid-range PCs with Windows, I was quite surprised.

    Still not buying their hardware though…

      Except a 12 year old Mac isn’t supported by Apple anymore and will likely be riddled with vulnerabilities. You could just load Linux on it since it’s probably an Intel based chipset.

        As long as the OS was supported, updates were available.

        But yes, I loaded a nice Fedora on it… 😉

        Rossman has a vendetta against Apple ever since he got caught importing counterfeit batteries (You can’t slap the Apple logo on batteries that Apple did not make, even if you call them “refurbished”)
