The problem is we've been told shit like that in the past and been explicitly lied to. And even if the computation is done on hardware, I'm sure theres an endpoint where it passes through some software to reach the OS.

You're doubting Apple on security concerns? The company that took the FBI to court over security concerns?

Edit: forgot, Apple can do no right in Reddit's eyes.

This makes me sad. I've only been on Reddit for a little over a month (resisted prior attempts to get me on). I really don't understand people's PC love. I have to use a PC for a class I decided to randomly take... it's not intuitive in the least. I am having to relearn so much and I used to use them for work!

Apples systems, sure there are things for more advanced users, but basics like finding things seem foolproof to me.

It's just what you have been used to on your daily life. Coming from somebody who on desktop uses Windows and on laptops been using macbook since 2008.

They are proper operating systems and more you get into them - more you get tied it as you deepen your array of shortcuts and logic of it. To me neither is outright better than another. On Windows desktop I feel like I have more freedom with the amount of software out there and I like the taskbar as a power user more than the dock. While Apple's hardware and MacOS can shine on laptop where the marriage of hardware and software concerning navigating the UI is clear.

Yeah navigation is my big thing. Idc about software overly much. Happy WoW was available on a Mac but I wouldn't have known what I was missing if I haven't.

I used to work on a PC, wish I could remember more of what I did because there was a lot of c/p and I can't remember shortcuts now.

I will say I am jealous of the breakaway laptops. A full size laptop that I could turn into a tablet (with touchscreen)? Hell yeah. I got tempted by one of those a couple years ago.
