they could be a real competitor in the pc space if they used more standard firmware or had better support for their non standard firmware.
unironically because they don't care about gaming, which keeps the platform niche.
>>107611951Eh it's a little more than that, otherwise there'd be way more utility software on MacOS.
>>107611446it's not just the firmware lel
Its arm shit. Why would anyone care?
iTODDLERS BTFO
>>107612790based
because modern macs are just oversized iphones
>>107612790boost
>>107611446apple is the standard, others just can't catch up
>>107611446Apple Macs are Intel PCs + SMC + EFI>OMG Apple sucks, they're basically just selling PC hardware nowApple Macs are completely custom>OMG Apple sucks, why don't their computers just work like everyone else's
>>107615876both are fine the problem is its totally undocumented and hard to develop for. every obscure single board computer atleast gives you one older version of the linux kernel that definitely works and myba a whole version of debian that works and devs take it from there. for apple there's nothing but this junk ass ashai project for only some of their chips
>>107615931That's a fair assessment. This secrecy sucks and does them no favors. Those things have a solid security architecture that relies on keys, not obscurity. There's no good reason to keep this documentation to themselves.
>>107615954lazyim actually kinda impressed with the performance and battery life of some of their machines but if my distro wont run on it its a non starter and im gonna have to opt for infirior hardware just because it has software support
>>107615876>>OMG Apple sucks, they're basically just selling PC hardware nowthat cost 10x more and run 10x slower
>>107616712Yeah, during the Intel era, their main draw was the software.But only until 10.9, after that, that went down the drain.Now, you buy for the hardware and tolerate modern macOS. How the turntables have turntabled.
>>107616722>Now, you buy for the hardwaredumb nigger
>>107616731Hmm, could it be that software is more optimized for Windows?No way. Not like I think you're arguing in good faith. No mentally well person keeps benchmarks like this around.
>>107616755Hmm, could it be that you shit in the street?No way. Not like I think you're arguing in good faith. No mentally well person shits in the street and regurgitates currynigger bullshit like iJeets do.
>>107611446>they could be a real competitor in the pc spaceBruh they literally nuke their entire software library every 5 years or so and their customers are ok with this, so why are you acting surprisedOh wait you just want to shill Apple, just usual /g/ things, my bad.
