I am as big an Apple guy as you'll find, but if gaming is a concern you pretty much have to go with Windows.  It's not that you can't game on a Mac (you can), and it's not that you can't dual boot into Windows if the game lacks a Mac version, but the general lack of discrete graphics cards is what does you in.

The updated Apple iOS 11 is more life- and energy-draining than any girlfriend.  Goddamn.

Yep. My ipad is basically useless now.

I guessed this might be the case with my ipod touch 6th if I tried the 'upgrade', so didn't bother.

So at work, our IT department got an email from Apple that iOS 9 would no longer be supported as of November 1. Apparently, they only send it if an iOS 9 device registered to us has been online in the past 30 days, so we've got to find out who's still got a 4S or a 5 and hit it with a claw hammer hard reboot it to make sure it's not connecting to our network.

Shame.  I really liked my 4s.  Just the right size.

I'm really getting fed up with Apple and its need to change shit for the sake of changing shit. Makes me want to shatter a hipster app developer's jaw with a motherfucking framing hammer. 

Fuck.  I think I'm done with these fucking monkeys.

Blame hipsters all you want, but you know it's some out of touch gen Xer going on about innovation and using the word synergy incorrectly

But it's being used ironically.

Nah we are over the days of irony, now its only about disruption driven innovation, making it okay for bosses to be dicks, because it's disrupting and thus innovation.

My 6 Plus contracted the dreaded Touch Disease.  Prognosis was terminal, and sliding downhill fast.  Ordered an 8 Plus.   :blush: #FeelLikeAWhore


Just couldn't pull the trigger on the X.  Looks like too much new funkiness.  Old guy likes his home button.
