  • I don’t remember it being slow, but I think that’s just because the slow pace was part of the intention behind the show. Offices are slow, horrible places to work when we’re talking about corporate environments. So it added to the horror that they made many in-office experiences drag out, and it hit really hard as a result.

    So yeah, I agree, but also… I loved/hated it (mostly loved it).




  • I’m not laughing… I find the whole thing kind of depressing. Real talk, though… I’m just as pissed off at Google and many other huge companies.

    I’m tired of huge companies exploiting the ignorance of average folks and damaging the progression of consumer technology. We deserve better than this.

    If Apple sold their products for a pittence, I’d be their absolute biggest fan. They not only push aggressively overpriced tech, but they convince impressionable people to buy into their “ecosystem”.

    What the heck is that, even? What is their “ecosystem”? Macs, iPads and iphones all work with windows and Linux. Heck, Mac IS Linux at a core level. I’ll tell you what it is… George Carlin give me strength, because “it’s all bullshit, and it’s BAD for you.”










  • The original comment was unironically shitting on someone’s comedic opinion of Apple, a company.

    If you own apple products, good for you. I don’t care in the least, nor will I judge you.

    I do care about Apple selling them for the prices they do, though. And for their business practices making it hard to repair and maintain said devices. In my opinion, this makes them a shitty company.



  • Not sure why they used this term. A DSLR is a camera most often used by professionals in the industry.

    Digital single lense reflex cameras, such as the Canon 5d Mk IV, are still excellent cameras that outperform their smaller sensored counterparts in phones.

    This said, many like myself have moved on to mirrorless in recent years. I’m not sure I miss anything other than the satisfying “click” from my DSLR’s.


  • So, as a professional, working photographer I can tell you this comment makes no sense to me.

    I’ve only bought two Samsung phones over the last ten years, but they have never failed to make the best mobile phone camera since I started keeping track in 2013.

    It seems like you’re talking specifically about processing, so perhaps that’s the hangup here… I focus on RAW, and use other specialty services to process. You can never go wrong with Samsung (so far) if you want to best potential RAW image.

    You may not realize it, but unless we’re talking processors Apple almost always puts old tech in their devices.

    Their laptops still sell with 8gb of slow RAM, and tiny hard drives. This is an upsell tactic so you pay them extortionate amounts for cheap upgrades. Then their computers… Oh man, just don’t. They sell a stand that’s $1,000, do we even need to go into the rest?

    Even their phones STILL lack the latest features of their competitors. Though most competitors have vastly given up dramatic innovations. Check out the cameras, the screen refresh rates, the RAM, the screen brightness, and side-by-side user comparison testing of their poorly performing GPU’s.

    I’m sorry, but no. Apple is more than a “choice” - they have been damaging the progress of consumer technology for over a decade now. Their success in selling overpriced, dated, and uninnovative technology has driven all their competition to avoid “risky” innovation, and to mimic low-cost, consumer-hostile practices.

    It’s okay to shit on a company. What you’re doing is defending a focused attack on a brand. Get over yourself. Apple doesn’t need your help, they are the wealthiest company in the entire world right now.
