That's IT, i'm done with fukking PC's

[Ayo]

fukk a Mac. Ill never pay that price for a limited shytty spec computer.

I wouldn't pay $400 or $50 for a shytty plastic laptop computer with a swiss cheese OS full of holes.

I work with PC's for a living Breh, last thing I want to do is come home to one of those nightmares. You pay for what you get.

If I was to ever get a PC it would be something from Sony, Lenovo, or Samsung. Companies that build quality products. And guess what? They also make $2,000 laptops that last.

n1ggas laugh at me cause I still burn backup data disc dvdrs tho


My mama told me to never trust a HDD

They give the worst kind of ether if you're not prepared.

I was getting ready to print a research paper that I've been procrastinating on. Just when I'm about to print it the fukking HDD died on me

Tried to see if I could salvage the data but I couldn't and in my time frame, I had to go out and by a drive at Best Buy rush back home install it, install my OS and start doing the research paper all over again. Spent almost the rest of the day working on that shyt. And for all my efforts the paper got a D grade.

Now I do data backups bi-monthly.

Get a lenovo dummy

That's seriously the best you can do Breh?

Well, you were making light of a possible Hard Disk/Software problem and Mac's aren't immune to them despite a lot of propaganda on the Interwebz claiming otherwise. If they were, that utility/functionality wouldn't be included.

Came in handy for about 700,000 Mac users due to Flashback.....

Flashback botnet: The end of the Mac's malware immunity? | Digital Trends

The days of the Mac’s immunity from malware appear to be at an end: last year saw the MacDefender scare (and Apple’s brief tit-for-tat battle with its perpetrators), and now there’s a genuine drive-by infection threat to the Mac — even though it doesn’t rely on technology exclusive to Mac OS X. Although the malware situation on Mac OS X is still several orders of magnitude less severe that that for Windows, the writing is on the wall: as the Mac platform gains adherents, it’s going to start attracting sophisticated malware authors.

What about GateKeeper, the new protection technology that’s due to arrive with Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion? Mac user shouldn’t rely on GateKeeper to protect them: the technology will enable users to decide they only want to run applications that come from Apple and/or the Mac App store, and developers who have identified themselves to Apple, or (like now) run any application from any source. GateKeeper will not protect Mac users from vulnerabilities in applications or system components — which means a problem with a Web browser plug-in or a low-level component like Java is out of GateKeeper’s purview — and Mountain Lion users would be just as vulnerable to something like Flashback’s drive-by attack as anyone else.

User related error. Don't download dumb shyt. Backup your important files.

Once again proving my theory: iCult caters to users who are big on media, design, and those who are not computer savvy.

Cop more Macs though...we need them to have bigger market share so they become a bigger target.

The reason people believe the nonsense you're spouting is because Apple chooses not to market the Mac as a power user computer. But don't be fooled Breh. Have you ever attended a tech conference? A web development conference? A programmers conference? I have. 90% of the laptop used at those events are Macbook Pro's. Just look at what Google developers use to present at every tech event they hold. Search for pictures of offices in Sillicon Valley and check out the laptops you're seeing a majority of the time.

The underlying UNIX (It IS UNIX) and what you're able to do with it in Terminal (bash shell) built in SSH, which alone puts a Mac eons ahead of a Windows machine in terms of advanced users. Question: How many Windows PC's do you see shipped with Apache2 servers? SVN. RUBY, PYTHON, PERL, JAVA. Pre-installed! And native compilers for all sorts of other programming languages? Answer: None. How many Macs? All of them. Down to the Mac Mini and Macbook.

NOTE: Everything I listed above is stuff that a PC can't do without 3rd party software that a Mac does NATIVELY.

But why would you ever need any of that stuff?

Proving my theory again: PC guys think they know a lot more than they really do.

Installing a bootleg version of Adobe Photoshop, browsing Reddit and ArsTechnica or changing the settings on your graphics card so you can run Crysis 10 does not make you a power user.

I have an ASUS desktop, 3 years almost, with no problems. My laptop is a little over a year oldn not asus, but still no problems.

 

[Ayo]

fukk! dupe post.

 

[Higher Tech]

Mac's aint immune to fukkin up either. The biggest difference is that Apple are the only people to make Mac products. Their hardware has stricter standards, high quality shyt.

Any company can make a PC. Therefore there are no standards for the pc comp. laptop. If you pay 600 bucks for it, chances are there are cheap parts in it. If you pay 1800 bucks for a laptop from a reputable brand, you'll get better hardware, and less problems.

Macs are not the Gods of computing.

You are literally posting in a forum chock full of dudes who use NONE of the shyt you posted. They literally cop Macs because of the image or because they fukked up their PC doing some silly shyt that was completely and wholly avoidable. Some of them are right here in this VERY THREAD.

Thanks for the feature rundown though Enjoy your Mac buddy

while we're on the topic


its impossible to make a recovery disc on Windows XP

 

[Hiphoplives4eva]

These threads always make me laugh. Some dummy like the TS will buy some shytty Korean budget PC, do all sorts of stupid shyt like downloading porn from sketchy sites, not regularly backing up gigs and gigs of supposedly "important" material, and not properly updating and maintaining his pc, then when said PC crashes, the same idiot will post some nonsense about "Windows sucking" and how he need to drop $2000 on a Mac that will supposedly "solve all his problems". Its stupid and im sick of it. There are plenty of high quality windows pcs that would give you an experience far greater than any MAcbook for a fraction of the Macbook's price.

My touch screen Lenovo Yoga pad absolutely shyts on an and all Mac computers out there. And they only start at $999. Anyone overpaying for Macbooks in the Windows 8 touchscreen era lost.


P.S. if the TS listened to me and installed Windows 8, Windows 8's built in virus detector would have stopped whatever virus that erased that nikkas precious "porn" collection.

Smarten up nikkas. Its 2013

When dealing with harddrives you have a backup, a backup for your backup and an offsite master backup. Harddrives do not love you and when you love them, they'll hurt you, friends.
