apple fanboys always talking about how macs are "secure" because they can't modify the os, meanwhile they're just locking down users with a 1000-page user agreement and taking away their freedom

have you actually read the agreement or are you just ranting?

I guess that's why they call it the "apple "... because you're trapped!

dude, aren't you just mad that they won't let you jailbreak and ruin your own laptop?

idk what planet you're on but for real, my mac has never gotten a virus and i don't have to waste

uh, have you even tried to modify a mac and seen how easily and painfully apple restricts you?

are you kidding me? i've been using macs for years and never had a single issue, meanwhile i've had to reinstall

Preach! And let's not forget the price tag that comes with that 'security'. No thanks, I'll take control over my own device any day.

can you name one thing a windows user can't do because of a user agreement?

like, who actually reads that 1000-page user agreement anyway? do you think regular people even have the time or the ability to understand what's in there?

I'm a former mac user and I completely see what you mean. People get so caught up in the prestige of owning a mac that they don't even realize the trade-off is loss of control

you think limited user modification is what people want when they're paying 5k for a laptop?

if we "can't modify the os" and that's what makes it "secure", shouldn't we expect the new m1 and m2 chips from rival

do you really think a 1000-page user agreement is "freedom"? 🤔

how's your samsung phone treating you, btw?

how does being able to modify the OS make a computer more secure?

are they actually secure or just harder to hack because of the limited market share?

ok, that's a fair point. but at least i can't get a virus from watching cat videos on my mac!

lmao ok boomer, keep crying about your freedom while i enjoy my virus-free mac 🤖

Agreed, and it's wild how they spin this as a feature, meanwhile you're ly renting your computer from Apple and can't even change the battery yourself anymore

this. it's all about control and taking away user choice under the guise of security. apple's walled garden isn't about protecting users, it's about keeping them locked in.

yeah no kidding, it's like buying a 'secure' house that just happens to have a recording studio in

yeah, and what's the point of being "secure" if the user cant even update their own apps without needing a new mac?

lmao who hurt you, apple fanboy? go outside and touch some grass. It'll do you good 🤣

you think apple actually cares about user freedom? lol its all about control and making money.

lol yeah and if you try to read the whole agreement you'll need a mac to handle all the bitching about fine print

Don't you think the same could be said about Android's "openness" being a recipe for malware and security issues?

lol nobody reads those agreements anyway, we're all just clicking "agree" like we're marrying the os

haha totaly agree about the user agreement bs. also, have you guys seen the price of applecare lately?

completely agreed, and another thing, isn't it ironic that they restrict access to our own computers and then try to sell us "freedom" with the iPad?

imagine thinking freedom is being able to modify your os instead of having a secure, reliable computer experience.

yeah but have you read that user agreement? what kind of rights are they really taking away tho?

sounds like someone's been reading the terms and conditions a little too closely 😂 maybe if they spent less time worrying about freedom and more time enjoying their mac, they'd be

nah, that's just bs. macs are way more secure than pcs and everyone knows it. stop making excuses for your crappy windows machine.

lol yeah, they'll give you "security" alright - straight jacket security 😂

Totally agree, and it's not just about freedom, it's also about cost. When you can't customize or repair your device easily, you're forced to spend more money on upgrades or new

really? you think a 1000-page contract and a locked down os is "freedom"?

yeah dude, they act like not being able to customize your shit is a feature.
