I'm OOTL since I don't keep up with crapple's products, but why did they start putting out cheap products? First they made a $600 Mac Mini a few years ago, and now there's a MacBook that runs off an iPhone processor for about the same price. Apple worked so hard to establish themselves as a luxury fashion brand so that they can sell overpriced crap, why are they suddenly pivoting to pandering to people that aren't pretending to look rich?
>>108505185It's a move into the education sector where Chromebooks are totally dominant.Get them hooked on Apfel products at school and you will raise a generation of macfags. Worth subsiding the cost now to get them in your walled garden for life.
>>108507986apple has always been big in education. remember all those people discussing the education discount on the neo for $100 off? remember the eMac? chromebooks were a setback, but google has done an awful job developing the OS and corralling hardware manufacturers.
The average consumer browses facebook, streams slops and pays their bills from their computer. A phone chip is more than capable of doing that. Coming out with an entry level device allows them to sell their devices to third worlders and poor people who want in on the Apple brand. The market of first world consumers is maybe a billion people. There's 8 billion people on earth.
>>108505185Money.With hardware prices being extremely unstable nowadays, a lot of PC producers started ignoring the low-budget niche and focused more on corporate and lol AI tech. Apple just decided to use this opportunity to seize that part of the market and bind new consumers to their ecosystem.
>>108507730>because thirdies would love the opportunity to get an Apple thing for cheapThirdies can't afford a new PC, much less a $600 MacBook.If you think a $600 MacBook is an evil to the brand then consider it a necessary evil.Price points ultimately matter for education and parents because kids can't be trusted with $1k+ devices.ChromeOS and Macbooks face the same problem of kids getting imprinted on Windows and it starts at school more often than not.This helps Apple build the brand by introducing MacBooks earlier

whens the movie music due?i'll have a lot of time so i might make like 12 tracks
i thought this film score would be hard but its been fairly painless so far, just like mapping out cool ideas and then linking them together with ambient noises and sfx and throwing some percussion here or there. i got about 2 minutes so far. i decided on c major at least to start off with and i want to incorporate some guitars but not sure how much.
fucking arturia bruh
Is it a controversial opinion on /g/ to say that I preferred when TVs didn't have their own OS frontend?I'm not saying linear TV didn't have it's problems but at least it always felt like it did what I wanted, not what it thought I wanted.The golden middle-ground was when you connected a streaming stick to a HDMI port on your dumb-TV.
>>108506030I just have a dumb simple washing machine, plugged it into a smart plug with power monitoring and stuck a door sensor on it, connected those to home assistant and created an automation to send me a notification every 10 minutes when it's ready until the door is opened.No internet connection or complex electronics that will break and stop the machine from working. Just local zigbee network and full control for me to do whatever I want.
>>108505954Nothing wrong with that, but as TVs got more advanced and powerful, why not slap an OS in there? It makes it more understandable for normies.
>>108505954It was so much better in the past. Samsung is the worst offender, trying to find the input menu when you accidentally hit a button on the TV remote, and it brought you to the homepage of ads and diversity, is the worst user experience in the world
Do these shitty TVs still come with remote controls? Or do the manufacturers save money by making you download a phone app to turn your TV on?
>>108505954I left the TV scene when they stopped making dumb screens. Been using projectors since. I have a 4K Epson EH-TW7000 now, great budget projector (cost around €1100) connected to my HTPC.

do people like authenticator apps?i broke my phone and got locked out of my bank, steam, post office and other things.everysingle one needed an authenticator or some app i didn't have access to anymore.i had to take out my sim and plug it into another phone to end up using the sms verification stuff, if i didn't have another phone, i'd be screwed.do people enjoy this? like are jobs made solely for this so they won't go away?I'm honestly so lost why things need to be so complex now, where just not having a single device causes so many issues
It should answer your question when you need to download a new authenticator app for each service. They’re bullshit.
>>108507866Google Authenticator backs up to to your Google account nowadays. Aegis has a back up feature too that it will nag you about if you haven't backed up your data. You have to be a complete retard to have lost your auth app access.
>>108507871Which shouldn't they?
No. They're still better than fucking email 2fa because if you lose your email address, you are locked out for life. You can't back up a gmail address, but you can back up your authenticator keys. Not with google authenticator though, I use aegis.
>>108507866i have authenticator on my phone for my work VPN. i've thought about what a pain in the ass it would be if my phone died. then i stopped caring because it's mr. shekelberg's problem. all forms of authentication and 2FA are fucking retarded. whoever invented this nonsense is going to be tortured in hell for all eternity.
it was just a prank bro
>>108506822>The Google authenticator app no longer works for other things I use.Holy shit these people have brain damage. Why would you willingly put your device 2FA in Google's hands?!

I'm looking for a frontend that automatically imports games from across all launchers (or pirated sources) and also lets me do things like media management, effectively replacing the desktopThe only option for this I've found so far is Playnite and LaunchboxDoes anyone know any other option? There is no way something this obvious doesn't exist for Windows when you have options like this for every other OS
>>108507865What options for other OS exist? Maybe they have cross platform versions that work on Windows too?
>>108507909Steam OS comes to mind and it has Big Picture but no option to automatically import games from other sources
>>108507917Big Picture might pretty much be the best you can get for what you want? I also hear of one called Pegasus Launcher?
>>108506147try "repair your installation" from a windows installer, if that doesn't work you'll need to use bcdboot and/or bcdedit to repair the bcd store of the offline installation. an llm can help you understand these utilities, just make it clear you're doing this versus an offline os from a windows installer environment and verify any commands it gives you by checking actual documentation with /?
it's over.

He is a fucking autist. Autistic people (aspergers) don't care what other people think, they may say controversial shit just because they base their opinions on logic rather than emotions, this doesn't necessarily mean that this guy must be a pedo but normies love labeling such people as pedos if they dare to say something controversial.
