I’m old and only recently noticed him but it’s nice to see someone who’s on the reviews beat who isn’t epic bacon or a weirdo devotee. Just letting me know if things work and are worth my time

i liked that iPad review, seemed pretty honest and not overly dramaticand, thankfully he stuck the product placement at the very end

Apple agrees...

I hate apple

In fairness, if an apple critic made that ad, I'd be thumbs up, so really can't fault apple for coming up with it first.

“In fairness” are you really putting the customer on equal footing with apple corporation

Fourteen years ago, many members of another community I was involved with saw the iPad as a huge innovation. For me, I felt that it was simply a consumption device to sell more content from the App Store.
I win.

I hate Apple and I don't think I've ever bought any of their products, but I can see what they were trying to do with the ad and it's actually quite funny how literally it sums up what the smartphone is right now, culturally and technically. I'd say it's a bad ad because it provides no illusion, just an uncomfortable brutal truth. Making music, films, pictures, drawing... what isn't done on the iPhone ?

I barely touch an actual laptop or desktop outside of work and do pretty much everything at home on my iPad. Tablet good imo

Don't feel like scrolling up to see if the following two things have already been mentioned:1) the fact that there is no default installer so you have to use something like homebrew2) the fact that there are often old or acient versions of things there by default, especially bash, but even Pythoon

Heh at misspelling

It’s quite terrifying how even a small amount of tinkering can lead to a proliferation of multiple unpatched instances of pythooon across one’s Mac.
