Was about to say hahah
WHY DID YOU LIE, I BELIEVED THAT
Hey
Linus is a fucking Diva!
I like the new title
OBS Project team member here! Flattering that the first thing you think of trying on the M1 is us :)
We're working towards full native ARM support, there's parts (all right now?) that are just emulated, but seem to work ok. Also, the CPU usage listed in OBS is in the context of the process itself, and not the whole system. It's... a bad metric, honestly, I wouldn't use it for any kind of real benchmarking as it's fairly arbitrary.
also, probably isn't emulated, is translated.... by the way, fucking legend!!! your team changed the stream shit forever ajajajajajaj
great work on OBS, i love using it to livestream!
Thanks for what you’re helping for the industry man. Tell the team to keep up the good work!
I LOVE OBS but it makes my 16 inch macbook pro scream.
You think gcc or other compilers will release new versions targeting the arch?
can't believe he didn't go for the actual air joke and poke at the fact that it's fanless
They keeping for the review on the big channel
I was literally waiting for him to say it.. but it didn’t come.
Well to be fair it's the Macbook Air, not the Macbook Wind.

The “drag to install” option allows you to start an application without installing it. You don’t have to copy it to applications first. It’s a nice feature sometimes.
On windows you can also unzip the exe and try it, or install it in a temp folder
@@ghejnuni didn't know this, but I doubt many people even knowing what the temp folder is
@@ghejnuni you don't know what you are talking about, it works for certain applications, but if the application needs some other files you can't just unzip the exe, but the whole folder. More importantly it does not matter if you install the software in a temp folder, once you run the exe it can do literally whatever the programmer wanted it to do, including installing files anywhere, registry entries, other software and you as a regular user can do nothing about it, so if you feel safe for installing software inside a temp folder, you clearly have not a deep understanding of how things work (if you need to quickly try apps in a bit safer way, I'd suggest a sandbox app or a virtual machine)
its a security thing on unix systems.
basically it prevents the applications from ever getting directory access and therefore protects your data
wait actually? So if I double click on the application on that screen, it'll run but it's not actually installed on the computer?
You can tell it's a PC user when using two hands on the trackpad :)
lol
Yeah right? Even though I have to use two hands for better dragging, I just keep using one hand for my Mac. Magic Trackpad is just too good.
But.. I’m a lifetime pc user an I use one hand. Tho I might get the m1 air
? I use one hand on my windows laptop
@@trappedoctopus too late. I got the hp omen, couldn’t be happier
Friendly note, the same behaviour as option-clicking the green button is achieved by double clicking the title bar
Same as windows but he never tried it
For me that minimizes the window. I guess you need to have it configured or something. Also I don't get why Linus wants to have the dock and menu bar constantly wasting a big chunk of space! 😂
@@indianakernick3788 to be fair, it's the dock that is huge (you can make it smaller though). Long-time Windows users are just used to having a taskbar at the bottom of the screen.
Just getting Magnet is the best option!

The joke he should have said was “why do they call it a macbook air when there is no fan”
underrated comment.
Because all you need is air, no need to force it in... I guess? Just let it sit in air.
It's overused already that's why he went for error and I think both are genius.
I’m a fan of the air
Reviewers: The new M B Air doesn't have a fan like the last generation.
Me : What? Was the fan on the last-gen M B Air even useful?
I'm surprised Linus doesn't know that double clicking the top of a window makes it full-size.
Noob lol
@@mopnem it is also double tap in Windows... Wtf are you talking about
Because only knobs use mac, seemingly.
Except for me it doesn’t make it full size and makes it full size vertically but 80% full screen horizontally

I think the advantage of the drag system instead of the double click feature is to prevent accidental installs! I mean, it's easy to accidentally click 'ok' or 'cancel' but you can't accidentally drag something..

Why you have to drag apps to the folder to install: You can actually run many apps off the disk image without saving them to your computer which is very handy.
Don’t worry about having sense on an LTT video
I didn't get that part, why he was complaining exactly? The lack of a setup wizard or what?
@@AlejandroLZuvic something about not being like a 3rd party app named 'Ninite'
@@marcovargas6205 ninite installs programs completely without any input, so I can understand why he would be annoyed they didn't choose to have the even more painless installation process. That said, apparently you can actually run the program like this without actually installing it yet, which actually sounds like a handy feature, so him getting upset about it not working the way he thinks it should is more just ignorance about its potential rather than stupidity
Oh I didn’t know that. That’s kinda cool
Watching Linus work a Mac is one of the most boomer experiences I've ever had.
Linus should just invite Justine over to do this!. Mac is her thing....
Ikr, I still can’t believe he’s this bad :/
Doesn’t make sense for a TH-camr to be openly critical of a system he doesn’t know how to use proficiently, if you ask me. I appreciate his PC insights, but I have to roll my eyes at every Apple video
Tbh, I'm ten years younger than him and would be as clueless as him when faced with a Mac of any kind
@@Ozuhananas It’s very simple to use macs tho , there’s only a little learning curve , but you’ll get the hang of it after using it for a while... But unlike you, Linus is reviewing a product and he doesn’t even know how to use it ..
The reason why you have to drag applications into a folder is because it literally isn't an installer at all. Applications on macOS are literally just directories you dump into a folder, and the .DMG you open is just a disk image with the directory in it and a shortcut for convenience. Want it on a USB stick? Drag it to a USB stick. Don't want the application anymore? Toss it in the trash, it's gone. You can have proper installers on macOS but that gets rid of the benefit of macOS's more isolated application packaging.
On Windows, you need installers, because Windows doesn't provide an easy way to package applications at all. Furthermore, those installers often need to install dependencies into your Windows system (DirectX runtimes are notorious for this). This makes "uninstallation" a nebulous and tricky concept as Windows does not keep track of what files are part of which applications. Applications have to ship their own uninstallers to do that for Windows, and there are shared dependencies that Windows doesn't reference count, so you can't ever safely uninstall them lest applications you installed afterwards break.
(I really like how Linux gets around this with package managers and the kinds of curation you can only do when your software ecosystem is all Free Software. This still requires you to actually use an installer, but the installer is actually smart enough to manage your entire system, and it's *part* of your system. Packages are just archives and the installer tracks what files go where. It also tracks dependencies, so if you uninstall an app, the OS can actually tell what can safely go away with it. It even handles core OS updates with the same mechanism!)
Doesn't fit with his "I hate apple" agenda.
Reason number 5,649 that windows is a disaster....
Unfortunately windows is unavoidable for most people.

@@yony_music because the name "air" relates to fans quite well
@@bguy510 I got the joke haha, thanks for the explanation. I am just very surprised, that the macbook air is simply a macbook pro without a fan and a touchbar, which is pretty ridiculous
I thought that’s where Linus was going at first with the “air” name comment haha
Watching Linus try to use macOS is like watching iJustine try to use Linux..
wow 10/10 analogy there buddy. you are definitely a macOS user. well played.
She acts. Linus doesn’t
Uhhhhhhhhhh. 😂
Has she actually done that in a video? Because I'd love to see that.
Linus complains about so many things in macOS, even some things that I significantly prefer over Windows, like blocking extensions etc from running without your permission. The bar for user-friendliness isn't exactly set high by Windows and Linux so he could at least excuse some of macOS's little quirks (like the fullscreen system) because there are so many other things It does that are just... better.
And to everyone who wants to start telling me to use Windows or Linux and I'd actually find they are way better - I use all three OSes regularly and I find Windows particularly to be very frustrating - Linux is just as frustrating but for more excusable reasons, such as lack of software that actually does the job I need it to.
Lmao ijustine sucks, don't know shit about tech...
This was painful to watch! Linus looked like he was in pain the whole time and never smiled or acted anything like his normal behavior. If this product would’ve been from a different company I have a feeling he would’ve been a little more upbeat with a more typical high energy review…
Exactly, it was review of True Tone, setup and app installation process which is so simple yet "worse than windows" (you must be very biased to make such statement ... i'm not surprised when it comes to this guy really). Sad that's what people watch and he gets paid really well for such bs.
He’s not allowed to be enthusiastic and overwhelmingly positive towards an Apple product. He’s got too many PC gamers as subscribers.
@@blastofo There are PC Gamers who own apple products as well. I, for example, only use a windows computer because I simply have no other choice. If apple would decide to offer gaming pc‘s for an affordable price though..
@@helmuthvonmoltke5518 yeah buy everytime he praises apple too much salty fandroids dislike bomb the video

I would behave the same when I got my first Macbook as a Windows user for like 20 years. It took me a year to get used to a MacOS and now I like it more than Windows.
as a long time windows user who has been getting used to macOS... I still like windows more, but macOS is more useful for basic tasks because of how simple and clean a lot of the stuff is. For real work though.... windows is still better in a lot of situations
*0:58** “Lesser than the MacBook Mini”, the what lol*

Apple: *Achieves world peace*
Linus: But it was so unnecessary!!!
Apple would cover the world with e waste before they did that
linus was really about to shred that install before Andy reminded him of "Next->Next->Install->Next->Finish->Yes"
lol yeah, then he started grasping for something.
I did a few installs recently on my windows computer, they were all 9 clicks to complete, from initial double click of msi/exe. On Mac it's one double click and a drag (or 2 "clicks"). You really have to be silly to prefer 9 clicks per install vs 2.
To be fair he was doing a ninite comparison than just standard .exe install. You will probably find he uses a script to install new apps like ninite every time on a new setup. I use ninite every day in my work flow with new Windows devices I have to set up, with Linux at home and legit forgot that the standard Windows install is "next next next next finish" until people mentioned it here
@@odinsplaygrounds 9 clicks gives you control. It's not 9 pointless clicks. You get to choose where it gets installed, what components get installed, and other things
FYI you can automate clickless instalations in windows if you don't want to read or choose anything for any instalation.
The key difference is that one has meaning, dragging does nothing is just for show and uncomfortable for power users
"Hey, whatever I'm Canadian" - Canadian
The application install makes sense Linus:
1. That way you can easily tell your users that the app is installed in that directory
2. If the user wants to install it in another directory, he can just drag it anywhere else.
It is a graphical version of the "default install location" option on windows app installers
Excuse me, I've been using my macbook for 5 years and I still have no idea what this drag thing is for. How do I drag it to my preferred location if all I see is one Application folder? How do I navigate wherever I want? Also why there are several half transparent icons besides one for an actual App? Do I also drag them? If not, what happens if I do? Why some of them have a red line over them? Do I NOT drag them? Or are they corrupted or what? Installing Apps has been one of the most confusing and unintuitive processes on macOS.
He just hates
Apple.
Drag and drop to trashcan to eject. Could make sense, but sense is also based on experience. I don't expect that drag and drop will setup the app if I'm used that draging and dropping will move files only. MacOS Experience and heuristics can't be taked for granted just because it was made to be "intuitive", and fails most of the time because PCs with other OSs makes things way different. Is not bad, but different enough to separate experience and breach the users even more.
@@rinrin4711 Honestly i think you should try and see what happens :)
and if you really don't like it or don't understand... complain and if nothing happens... change OS
I still think they should change it into Choose a location to install and allow default location
Picked up one of these (the base model) last night and initial impressions are good... The battery truly does last forever. First time back on Mac in nearly a decade and man it feels like it hasn't changed a bit haha

alternate video title: "old man grouchy over new computer, about as expected - MAYBE MORE!"
This is actually something for students who constantly use Office products. Battery life on notebooks with small sizes were always a issue especially if you work more than 8 hours in a high school.
As an economics undergrad I'm seriously eying this as an option since all I really need for school/work is Microsoft Office, Zoom, and Firefox. I don't plan on gaming on it (have a PC for that) so my main priorities are battery life, backlit keyboard, warranty/support, and camera/mic. The only issue I really have is the lack of real ports, but given how infrequently I'd use them I'm willing to live with that.

Alternate Title: Linus getting pissed at MacOS for 11 minutes
He complains so much... so much
Basically alternate title for anything Linus does with Apple
I love Linus, but with MacOS he complains about so many small stupid things that aren't an issue at all when you daily drive the operating system. I use both Windows (main PC) and MacOS (MacBook Pro) and don't have any major issues with either. That's why I much prefer Anthony's videos on Macs.. cause he actually uses them.
@@MrDSimba Yes. I think that he hates so much macOS, it is not funny anymore to watch how he complains. I mean, i can stop watching his videos. However he must be aware that he is an 'influencer' and even we want or not... his opinion matter much more that others... He sometimes creates a bad image not only for macOS but also for Windows, etc based only in certain specific features. (e.g i would love to watch him roast Apple for the lack of support for Data scientists, (e.g. no nvidia gpu support) But instead he makes people believe that a touchscreen is a must for every computer... When actually no one has the statistics to prove if or not people actually want and use it)
Tbh apple could simplify their wierd installation method
The reason you need to drag the application to the Applications Folder Shortcut in that small window is because on a Mac the program is contained inside a file that acts like a virtual drive. The application is then copied from the virtual drive to the Applications Folder and is then installed.
If it was to be made simpler by having it install on click then the file would have to be executable from the get-go, which I believe is against the Macintosh Operating System.
Even so, some applications you can download as a package and the package runs a setup wizard just like Windows where you have to select the installation location and agree to all the steps and keep on clicking Next, Next, Next, etc. which is more tedious than that drag and drop feature.
At the end of the day its a small ask to drag the application to the Applications Folder Shortcut. Hope this helps Linus, and anyone else who read it.
hehe he sounds like when my parents ask for help with electronics "what is this? why have this at all? i already clicked that, can you help me?" lol
They way Linus uses the trackpad gives anxiety
i prefer the drag and drop experience vs the *.msi "agree next next next next next install finish" nonsence...
1 app containing all files already installed vs hundreds of folders all sprayed out across the system
And you can run them from anywhere. They don't have to be installed in some specific directory or even a specific volume to work.
Don’t think he actually hates it. He just has to hate it for his audience;)
You're missing the point.
The point is the drag and drop to start the installation is pointless....you've already clicked on the installer/file to install it, why have the weird drag and drop step?
Linus also agreed with Andy that the Apple installation process is nicer as is anyway
Take it up with the software devs. Unless you're software needs to integrate with the os for some reason, you can absolutely have a single folder or even a single executable. That almost no-one provides that isn't on Windows.
@@AtomicTim because of permissions.
There’s a reason why dragging to Applications (or ANY other folder) has to be done by the user: by default Mac apps can’t even see what folder they are in, and certainly can’t put files anywhere.
So if you don’t want to drag app to Applications, you would have to give one app a permission to write to your Applications folder, which is a very secure location, relatively. Outside of your user directory.
Alternative (some apps do this) is to just unzip directly instead of using disk image. I prefer this, but MANY users just run apps from Downloads folder forever, never moving to Applications.
Im at 4:18 so far and damn Linus, you’re trying hard to trash talk wherever you can 😄
And he’s havin a hard time too
I too also want a touch screen... On a glass screen that's really easy to smudge and gets dirty very quickly...
It’s like he has never seen a computer before.

With a strong emphasis on "dirty" in this one...
I think this was their worst video in a while. He's just bitching about how windows is > than osx, which isn't really insightful into the product. Also, he clearly has a prejudice here, and it's an extremely skewed perspective
Really? I am always disappointed when I click and there isn't any review or benchmark but 95% redundant information.
@@TheBlazingRiver if you were here early. The original title was "unboxing and first impression" . Then comments about his prejudice and baseless nitpicking flooded. For damage control, they changed the title to make this like a sudden funny sarcastic video lol. Its pretty patethic to be honest. I use a PC but I praise good tech when I see one.
Linus is the best inventor of useless channels. He just keeps making so much money. They make like $50k a day from all their channels.
"I'll leave it to Anthony to try out some random stuff."
~Linus, LTT store ambassador.
Linus went from "meh" to "woah" in two title changes
@Linus the reason for dragging the app is that it's much easier to put this certain app to an external folder. It's not really an installation which writes itself into the OS. But real installations are often used by larger programs.

"The vast majority of people pretty much just use their laptop like a Chromebook anyway..." FINALLY this dude says something I actually agree with. People are happy with these devices because the average person isn't compiling code, rendering video, or down mixing 120 tracks on Logic.

The high fan speed is a result of how horrible is the whole experience of any Microsoft app on OSX.
@@ivanpocintela6867 no the whole point is the performance of the old macs were just simply not scratch coz of Intel and also because Apple can't design an adequate cooling solution for it

You're just downloading a disk image and then drop the application itself completly into the programs folder. That's it. One of the best installationprocesses ever.
It made more sense when you were actually putting in a CD. no need to double click a dmg. Finder just popped up.
The reason disk images are used for downloads is that apps are technically directories, but this fact is hidden by macOS to a degree.
I suppose a dev could encapsulate their app in a zip file and then Safari would extract it immediately, letting you drag the app straight from downloads to applications.
Best install process is just from a repo. Having to drag and drop is dumb. Just let me double click and click "install" and then get it out of my sight.
This is by far not "One of the best installation processes ever". Pip is easy. Apt is easy. The App Store is easy. Ninite is easy. Downloading an image, then opening that image in a window, then dragging and dropping an item in that image into another folder, then closing the image's window is NOT easier than pressing "next" a few times, and I'm in no way saying an installer with ~5 nexts is in any way a good way to install software.
@@nextlifeonearth Yes, Pip and apt is easy but not useful for people who just work with the computer to photoshop or to netflix and want to download a new app. They don't know how to use the comand line. And some clicks on the installer means: "Copying files to x random directories" where you have to find them when you want to clear your pc from that program
@@joshisanimationstudio9927 apt and pip have gui front ends. That's much more intuitive. Just type the name and click the thing you want.

It would be interesting to see how much advantage the higher spec machine provides over the base model.
I love the fact they didn't ditch the function keys but added the fingerprint button. Love it on my MB Pro 2017 bc i use an App for all my passwords. This new generation is a serious contender as my next purchase
Why did I think that when Linus shushed the Macbook, it was Obiwan sushing General Grevious?
Tell Anthony to finish his review on M1 mac mini and upload it now.
Come on Linus, I've never heard you whine about MacOS this much in years.
Its a self defense mechanism. He knows hes plain wrong.
He hates apple. He’s only doing apple vids for the views
I find MacOS cumbersome. I've had Macbook for 4 years now and I still hate many things about the OS. At first I kinda gave it the benefit of doubt because it had been almost 10 years since the last time I used a Mac for daily stuff, so I thought "it's just me, I'm not used to this OS yet" but damn man, I'm still not used to it. The user interface is just so clunky from time to time.
I especially hate it when an important pop-up window goes below everything and then I have to manually hunt for it - if I even know it exists. Sometimes I've thought a program crashed because it didn't respond to anything, but the culprit was a hidden pop-up window that buried itself in the desktop screen amongst all the folders etc. I had open.
Another thing I absolutely hate is installing unidentified apps. Why can't I just click "ok" during the installation, instead of having to go to system preferences to allow the program manually?
The third thing I hate is how mouse interacts with the machine. Why do I have to track down and install a third party scroll reverser solution, just so I can scroll normally with BOTH the trackpad and mouse at the same time?
Maybe it's still just me and I don't know how to properly use the machine like Apple fans always like to tell me, but I don't see where the user friendliness is supposed to be if I still find the machine hard to work with, even after 4 years of using one.
@@PhazonBlaxor kinda felt the same after a few years. I bought a mac air when i was 10 and still have it. i changed from macos to windows a year ago and honestly managing files and stuff is zoomy on windows. it kinda felt like a hassle going through finder compared to file manager on windows. and of course windows is so much more flexibile
@A B Lol, you are perfectly illustrating my point; it's always the problem with users, not the devices with Apple fanboys.
It's not intuitive, it sucks. To me it just sounds like you aren't doing anything very special with your machine if you haven't had to even give permissions for unidentified software manually; you are just probably using it for the bare basics like TH-cam and social media.
As a work machine this "pro" device annoys me to no end. The fact that MacOS can't even recognize my mirrorless camera neither wirelesly nor with wire (I had to buy SD card reader to get my photos onto the machine) while Windows has no problems with any device I throw at it boggles me. Same goes for Android phones, Mac just doesn't know what to do with them.
Application support is also lackluster experience. I develop games, installing Unity versions from Unity hub was a pain. I needed permissions that MacOS never bothered to ask for, installation just failed without any reason given. I not only had to figure out what was wromg on my own (which took hours of troubleshooting), I also had to fix the problem manually with terminal commands.
Sounds intuitive? The moment I need to open terminal to fix something is when I stop calling something intuitive. I'm a millenial btw, not sure what this has to do with anything.
Oh no, Linus. It sounds like youre turning into some kind of a boomer.
Whenever I watch a video where Linus reviews an Apple product, It reminds me of my Math Teacher who hated me religiously and always found mistakes even if there wasn't any scope of finding them.
Maybe they have something in common and are being fair about the situation but you can't see the forest from the trees
@@italgod or maybe they're just an asshole
Like saying you miscalculated Pi because you didn't list it to infinity.
If only you were a trillion-dollar company
@@prathwik0 Sadly I'm not even a Googol :-(
I hope someone who is familiar to macOS reviews the new hardware, cuz Linus doesn't give a damn.
Thats why they have Anthony
anthony is the man!!!
He’s not objective when it comes to reviewing Apple products. He was such a douche when Dave 2D called him up on the live stream the other day. Came across really badly
No. Only pc users will review the new mac's for now on.
Hi PC, I'm Linus
What would really take the MacBook air to the next level would be to add a touchscreen as Linus says, but also make the screen detachable from the keyboard so it can be either a full blown laptop or a full blown tablet.
It already exists. It's called iPad.
i think the point of having to drag the app into the app folder is so that you dont have to actually"install" the app to use it, you can open it and see if you want it, then add it to your library after.
I find it hilarious we live in a time that getting a charger with your device is a cause for celebration 😂
I don’t know maybe this is a tutorial how NOT to use an Apple product 🤣
I’m honestly so interested to see what the desktops and next Mac Pro are like, where the power comes from the wall and the heat goes everywhere. That’ll be somethin to see with how these already are.
he sounds so sleepy in this video compared to how he usually was before the beard! and the voice is deeper
🎵 "all I want for Christmas... is an ltt ram shirt"
"Ooooooh!" 🎵
I'd much rather get that mouse pad, looking very nice
Meanwhile: You can literally fly from Brazil to the US and buy TWO of those, and that (including the flight tickets) would still be cheaper than the same MacBook air bought from Apple in Brazil (R$12 999,99)
Oh wow. That is horrible.
@@johncaling6150 I heard it's the same thing in India... I wish more reviewers talked about how much of a scam Apple is outside of North America and Europe
Apple has their prices so damn high in some countries and I dont understand why
@ it's not really apples fault though it's because of customs and tarrifs
@ Apple might put a markup but import tariffs and duties add a pretty big increase to the price. A lot of the extra price goes to the govt and not to Apple necessarily.
Holy cow, Option + Green Button.. You learn something new everyday.
Really enjoyed Andy chipping in here and there! I quite like ShortCircuit with the back and forth between the host and the camera guy
Is it just me or does LTT change the titles of their videos like every day?
🤯
Lots of you tubers change titles and thumbnails several times after uploading. Must be algorithm manipulation.
First, they need a catchy title for the fanboys who have notifications enabled. Then they need a different title for people who actively search for videos. This is just my assumption though.
@@Wickedsight probably a pretty good assumption 👌
@@Wickedsight that makes sense
Linus, stop reading the comments and go eat some snacks. you are hungry.
Snickers.
_You're not you, when you're hungry._
Me: No please I beg of you, don't kill me I will give you all the socks and sandals I have.
Linus: 2:51
Linus: not seeing the dock or top bar make me uncomfortable.
Me: *has everything hidden on my desktop*
I think in 3 - 4 years time, Apple will find a way to integrate the SSD along with the SoC.
Missed a chance a to say. " Official Sticker sticker".
The installation has this process because sometimes there are other files and/or instructions seperated from the app itself. In that case, you will see 2, 3, 4 icons, maybe one of them is a README, maybe one of them is a supplementary piece of software or extension software that you may/may not necessarily need. Lots of times there is only this one icon for the entire .app package for you to drag to the applications folder, so if you haven't been using it for a while you will not be able to understand why this is the case. This provides the users with a chance to select software that you need.
Put your iPhone next to your new mac when installing it (just like installing a new iphone when you are replacing your older iPhone) and it will copy all the settings making it easier i.m.o.
is touchscreen but a mere compensation for lack of quality touchpad? Idk, never had any desire to spread grease over the screen
...while holding the screen with one hand in place. The wobble by itself makes touch on a laptop completely impractical.
Touchscreens have an oleophobic coating. That's why your phone don't get greasy too.
@@guilhermems Yeah, nice in theory and for the first couple of weeks till it wears off.
Why tf does everyone complaining about touch have oily or crusty *ss fingers. I have used touch laptops and they have their advantages, 2 in 1s are far better for implementing touch. No the screen isn't covered in grease, wash your hands more often.
@@Smile.911 still, nobody could give me a single compelling reason why touch would add anything to a computer that can't be done with a good touchpad and less hassle / arm strain. Use a Mac touchpad and you will know what I mean.
the drag and drop installation process is an underlying security check. its how their kernel of unix has to deal with its security check, as a way to prevent things from 'just installing' on the machine. so that deliberate action is actually there to protect you from letting just any random thin install without your input
That's really interesting, as coming from lifelong windows user there are things about mac os such as that that are not intuitive, it's nice to know the reason behind (Ps all you apple fans out there, you can't use words like magic in your marketing (and unlabeled Graphs) and then be surprised at a bit of scepticism, hopefully it is really good, but it can't be taken for granted)
@@forferdeilig I have a theory as to why the 'magic' thing has really taken off in the last decade or so, macOS does a lot of little things like what I described above, and it's simply too much to explain to everyone how or why that works, especially because most of those things you can't actually ever SEE working. So they just say it's done by 'magic' unless you wanna read a 500 page white paper and get a CS degree hahahaha
@@random_bit I'm not totally sure, but I'm SOMEWHAT sure it only requires a password if the resulting application needs any kind of elevated permissions for its access. For things like accessibility, or hardware acceleration, or terminal access/emulation and stuff
Even beyond this security feature; If I just want to run a program a single(s) time, or test the program before "installing", this feature makes that easy. Doing the same in Windows either requires a VM or containerization - which sucks.
@@random_bit I’m probably misunderstanding you - it becomes part of the conversation when that is the UX you have to use to accomplish the same task.
I could compare it Linux, but that often times has a lack of UX.
Why I feel like he is complaining not reviewing
This is not a review!!! Just an unboxing!!!
It’s not a review
He is in denial lmao
Thank you! I cant unhear the ‚error‘ now any more...
0:57 “MacBook mini” lol
Ctrl+F "Macbook Mini" in comment section is funny
When someone uses two hands from the trackpad, you know for sure he is a windows users 5:54
Oh jeez, I didn't even notice that. Yeap, as soon as you try those swipe left and right you will never wanna go back.
5:42 You can swap it in system preferences or double click near the top. Magnet is a great app to bring Windows style window management to Mac OS.
I think Linus is the only one using a MacBook trackpad and clicking with his second finger lmao
Me: Linus is a Professional TH-camr-
Linus: *I said Stickerputter.*
No such thing as professional and youtube in one job title. You’re either a professional or TH-camr or a Professional and TH-camr but you cant have it as one title. Sorry!
@@kittysreview9055 Lol. But you can be a Professional Stickerputter.
@@aakarsh1280 Yea..
@@kittysreview9055 I mean, even though with the degree of TH-camrs who AREN'T reaching that level, especially these days, pretty sure enough TH-cam-dependent businesses are running, and I'd be hardpressed to say those people in those businesses/channels aren't Professionals simply because their main platform is TH-cam. A load of radio stations are even less professional than a lot of channels here on TH-cam.
I've never been so fast to click on this video besides waiting for Intel to transition from 14nm to 7nm
Waiting for Intel to transitition from 14nm to 7nm is almost like waiting for cannabis to be legalized for both medical and recreational...NATIONwide in the USA. It's gonna take a little while longer. lol
But there is hope. i65 passed in Mississhitty. I never thought I'd live to see that day.
This is the most burnt out I've ever seen Linus.....
must have had a wild night the day before lol
it's because he just cannot stop talking
1:50 slaps Macbook air on table.. "OMG A USB c cable"
Instead of the "Intel Inside" sticker, it must have a "Anthony says "It's pretty cool!!" sticker...
Technically the later sticker is more valid...
"Anthony seal of approval"
Macs never ever had those stickers
7:32 it's to prevent drive-by installs Linus. You need genuine user interaction to initiate an install as tacit proof that the install is requested by the user and not a malicious web site.
Thank you for saying this so I don’t have to
Hello, isheep, you need genuine user interaction to initiate a download and run downloaded executable.
@@rawdez_ Hello, virus lover.
I appreciate the fact you did an unboxing. And didnt just jump into the review
I think I left a comment here before, but anyway
picked up this (complete base model tho) December 13 for video editing and it is SO GOOD, final cut (the entire reason I left windows) is so smooth with even multiple layers of 4k footage.
