The Surgeon General hawking supplements in official statements would be peak America.

Press secretary would be perfect.

It paid well.

Same here. Excellent mouse. The rubber on the scroll wheel is getting a bit worn now.

Try scheduling a cron tab job to run a task on dates defined that way.

The radio stations were extremely good. I still listen to the soundtrack at times.

Try finding a current distro that supports PowerPC Macs well.

The terminally online mentally unwell people make it a different experience.

Blockchain Socialist? What a clown.

Or deep fry it completely.

AI upscaling made it sharper, but overall worse. Entertainment under Blizzard is completely unreadable in the upscale.

That’s why I always answer my own questions on stackoverflow, if I find the answer first.

If you don’t pay for the labor and have the time.

How big is your dishwasher? I live in a three person household and the machine runs once every day on average.

Provide an example then.

Other companies typically have a little different priorities in their products. Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1, Microsoft Surface, Dell XPS are great laptops in the same league I would say. Dell Precision workstations are same league as the Mac Pro. Dell, HP, and Microsoft Surface make some decent all in one PCs.

All in one computers like the iMac are a niche on the PC side and don’t sell that well. The types of customers are different. PC buyers are usually more price sensitive, whereas Apple customers buy a whole package including the included software. It’s also much easier to buy a Mac, because there’s less choice. The PC market is filled with countless very similar models. Apple makes its simpler.

You get a ton of great software included with every Mac: GarageBand for music production is probably the best for home music creation on any platform. iMovie is an excellent consumer video editing software. The office suite with Keynote, Pages, Numbers is also very good. So what you get when buying an iMac is a powerful machine that’s a great office and media production machine out of the box. No drivers need to be installed, updated, or configured. There’s no adware and trials included in the default install. If you want a Unix like system on a laptop and never worry about battery life, kernel support, etc. All of that can make for a nicer experience.

In the end it depends on what you want to do with your computer. Depending on what tasks you want to accomplish and where you want to use it a different model would make sense for you. There are also applications macOS just isn’t the best fit like gaming or if you have special pro software or peripherals. If you enjoy tinkering and building your own machines, you’re better off using something else as well.

Apple’s quality is mostly pretty good. Once in a while they have problems with certain models and establish a free service program even for machines out of warranty. The oldest device that still gets a service program is from 2008.

Apple’s repair policies have improved over the years.

Longevity is usually also typically pretty good for Apple devices, especially the higher end models. My iPad Pro from 2018 and iPhone 11 from 2019 still get software updates and perform just fine. Until last year I was still using my MacBook Pro 15 retina from 2014 until last year. It still works fine, I just needed something faster. I would say that’s good enough in terms of longevity.

Upgrading parts of machines is difficult to impossible depending on the device. The newer MacBooks are systems on a chip with memory integrated and SSD soldered to the board. That means you have to buy enough memory and storage now, that will last you for the next decade. That’s a higher expense now, than being able to upgrade these parts five years down the line.
