I know the Luke Smith comparison is really getting old over time, but I really missed this kind of technology focused hate rant, since he stopped and your channel is even a step up imho
iPhone user here, fully Linux everywhere else. I’m also visually impaired, if there’s a mobile device that handles a11y as well as iPhone, I’ll have a look (pun intended). Ethically, I’d love to ditch everything that morally repugnant corps offer, but sadly I need some of the tools to live a functional life.
I think you commented this before, right? Cause I remember I agreed with someone in this! I tested my stock Android's read aloud feature and magnifying myself and it suuuuucks. Luke so much. So yes, that, one reason. But I have no reference really, so I will just trust people who tested it I guess... I hope that in the future there will be a better option, cause that truly is a "just has to work" thing.
I used windows android for my whole life. I needed a new pc, so i thought i might give a shot for a macbook a chance (this was 2015). SO i did, and the feeling was cool, but after a while the novelty worn of, and i was cursing for the next 2.5years on how badly limiting MacOS is, it's so stripped down is so many ways of just simple friendly UI bits and pieces, the i just eye roll how people say it's easy to use any apple device. Apple any os is so sterilized that's it's furiating to use for just day to day use. And the apple phylosophy, ow boy ow boy, i have not seen such anti-consumer company ever, and yet it's just unbelievable how people buy their stuff because of "the feeling" And i'm a bit of tech savy person, i know how to use a computer, it's just when you know a bit more than how to turn of your device, than working on apple devices becomes a chore. SO i came back to windows after those 3 painfull years, and said never again, never again i am going to tie my own hands by giving money for ones that are making sure my hands are tied down really well.
what is the difference between having a phone + external keyboard vs a tablet? I use a tablet purely for entertainment (youtube, cooking apps, etc.) and not work, but thats just me
i have no idea... i think it is both stupid, but i bought the keyboard for the ice rink. i can not bring a bigger devise there but this works. otherwise, i would never get either (tablet or this).
Ask an Apple user how to save the currently open page in Safari as a PDF (something companies frequently ask for) from an iPhone (pre iOS 17) and when they are finished ask them to explain what they think is intuitive about that (just see they actually fixed this finally in iOS 17... :-O 17 years, impressive Apple impressive!). Follow up, in iOS 17 ask them to share an embedded PDF from the web (for example a receipt) as a file in Telegram. Note: the actual PDF *not* a link to the website (which the person asking the question almost certainly won't have access to, assuming receipt). No Apple user I know has been able to answer these questions. But they'll moan about my Android devices or belittle my choice of Linux as a desktop. They have no true understanding of intuitive. I migrated my family to Apple full well knowing they can't create anything intuitive... *but* they at least do support their devices far longer than any other alternatives were doing (until very recently). Also I'd never wish Windows on anyone :)
lol 😆 I think I don't want to know what happens if you try that... I will migrate my mom to Linux, I think. It'll make remote support soooo much easier. Otherwise I always have to get into her stupid network first or use vine. Both not super safe and slow AF.
This is why I use Linux, it not only allows me to have control over my device and how I use it but has forced me learn about it which is a good thing. As for my phone I it's used for just that and has no social media apps on it as I find the amount of permissions they require is over the top in almost every case, if not every.
That's the superior choice there. I can not opt out of social media, since I use it for messaging with members and even some friends. I knowy that's kinda lame, but I've tried before and it lead to missing out on a lot of updates for me. So I guess I just see it as a work thing now... 🤔
@@UndineAlmani It tool me a while to get used to it but it has been good for me. I still use it on my computer and have went to get rid of it before but I found I was missing out on a lot of things as people would post there but not use the phone to call or message people who don't use it.
I just discovered your channel and I liked your lifestyle and perspective on things. I realize that I'm really a slave to capitalism right now, but I think I like this life. I'm sure my lifestyle will change as I watch more of your videos, but this feels like stepping out of my comfort zone. I'll add an update here in a few months, let's see what time tells.
That's cool actually! I like that. It is hard for me to find the right tone between being either too offensive or not offensive enough (and decided to give up a little). So I am glad if people find my videos helpful for any given reason. If you update, tag me (@ undinealmani without the space), so I get notified (it doesn't always work). The parts of my life, where I still depend on a high level of consumerism are the most weighing down ones to me. So I feel what you say. And then there are little things, like when I got rid of my bed frame... and everytime I sit in or lie on my bed, I'm like, yes, this is the shit :D And that way, those small choices just continue to make me feel more free and independent. It doesn't really matter what it is, but I am sure you can find those things in your life as well.
Das Fairphone ist von der Idee wirklich gut und ich habe schon öfter darüber nachgedacht umzusteigen, aber es ist mir einfach viel zu groß. Könnte ich dann gleich zusammen mit der Herrenhandtasche kaufen. Mir fehlt in dem Video aber ein wenig die inhaltliche Kritik an Apple. Das ist mir alles zu dünn und btw es gibt Kontextmenüs auf dem iPhone ;) Ich denke der Punkt warum viele das iPhone mögen ist, weil es einfach funktioniert und sehr lange hält. Die Möglichkeit selbst Reparaturen durchzuführen ist heute ein generelles Problem und nicht auf Apple begrenzt. Macht es nicht besser, aber ist halt auch kein spezielles Problem von Apple. Beim Thema Security sieht es abseits von selbst gebauten Lösungen auch verhältnismäßig gut aus. Wo es geht werden Dinge lokal ausgewertet und nicht an Apple gesendet. Die Cloud lässt sich inzwischen komplett verschlüsseln, ohne das Apple den Schlüssel kennt und Apples Geschäftsmodell ist nicht der verkauf deiner Daten. Von daher gibt es aus Sicht des Konsumenten erst einmal keine wirklich bessere Alternative. Das Fairphone wird wie es aussieht standardmäßig mit einem Schnüffel-Android geliefert. Ich habe zumindest keine Option gefunden es ab Werk mit einem anderen System zu bestellen, Murena bietet wohl etwas mit /e/OS an. Letztlich ist man halt ziemlich gekniffen, wenn man auf offene Systeme zurückgreifen möchte, das fängt schon damit an, dass ich für ein Linux-Phone abseits von Android gar keine Apps bekomme. Ich bin also immer auf ein angepasstes Android angewiesen und es ist immer mit mehr oder weniger starken Kompromissen und Einschränkungen bei den Apps verbunden, wenn man nicht die Schnüffel-Apps von Google verwenden will. Das Problem hat man bei Apple einfach nicht.
@@JohnSteed-gs5bb garantieren kann das niemand, da der Code nicht einsehbar ist. Aber auch bei quelloffenem Code gibt es keine Garantie, solange man nicht selber nachgeschaut hat. Letztlich gibt es bei anderen Herstellern aber nichts mit vergleichbarem Sicherheitsniveau und es zwingt mich auch niemand bei Apple Daten in die Cloud zu laden. Aktuell gehen die Backups beim iPhone komplett lokal. Google auf der anderen Seite macht erst gar keinen Hehl daraus, dass sie alle Daten auswerten und vermarkten. Ich habe oft den Eindruck, dass viele meinen Google würde die ganzen „kostenlosen“ Dienste aus reinster Menschenliebe anbieten. Ich spreche hier auch nur vom iPhone. Andere Geräte von Apple besitze ich nicht. Auf meinen anderen Geräten nutze ich seit über 20 Jahren Linux.
@@UndineAlmani was meinst du konkret. Das einzige woran ich mich erinnere war, dass vor ein paar Jahren eine dubiose Klitsche behauptet hat, Apple würde sich nicht an die eigenen Trackingeinstellungen halten. Ob da wirklich was dran war, weiß ich nicht. Will man wirklich auf Nummer sicher gehen, muss man schon Aufwand treiben und sich eine private cloud aufbauen, auf die Dienste der Hersteller verzichten und sich selbst um Backups kümmern. Btw gibt es eine brauchbare freie Karten-App zum navigieren mit Verkehrsinfos?
@@KW35- um das abzukürzen. IOS ist nicht Open Source d.h. letztlich weiß niemand was da wirklich übertragen wird. Wer garantiert z.b. das bei Face ID nicht dein Bild an Apple übertragen wird?
I use a trackball mouse for my phone when I'm in the car while it's mounted. It blocks the noise pigs vision when i want to use my phone while it's mounted. Hands free and all that. Take that iPhone user's. You can't do that.
🤣😂 Loved your sense of humor here. And agree with you on many points too. Why do companies keep making products worse to "improve" them? Change for the sake of change, ugh....
The thing I hate about the a-typical apple user is their incessant use of : higher price = better device. They are probably the type who will, for example, buy a certain brand of frozen fries because the cost means they are better. But would fail a triple blind test involving other, cheaper brands.
I get what you're saying. However, I don't think shaming people is the right idea. Users being unknowledgeable about how the products they use work and then acting the way you explained, that's truly annoying. But that's surely not specific to Apple users. It may be the people I am with, but I have yet to come across an Apple user who actually is as obnoxious as the people you describe in this video. Regarding intuitive design: Apart from ones opinion being dependent on what one used to learn navigating the digital world, agree to disagree, I think you could just be preferring Linux and navigating interfaces with a cursor, which is totally fine. But please keep in mind that there are other people who prefer other things. Hence, no need to be like "Where is this intuitive?!". I try to keep an open mind by consuming content like yours, which I like a lot actually, by the way. But it is sometimes hard to keep it cool when: I just want to learn something about macOS, maybe how to use Shortcuts (the application), and there's almost no way to just be excited to learn something without coming across some arrogant comment stating that other computers can do xyzzy as well. Like, yeah, we most likely know. It's just toxic, poisoning the atmosphere for anyone who just wants to enjoy something. I'm having a hard time actually believing that there are the types of users you describe out there when I rarely see them. It's mostly "The date using android is a red flag", which is absolutely annoying and wrong. But that's it. And I consume lots of content involving Apple, though I only ever see people being like "Android has had that for years", but whenever there's something coming to Android and has been on iPhone for years nobody says anything. And, well, that's weird. Just use whatever you like and try to make a positive impact. Just do that and Bob's your uncle. Just noticed I omitted this completely: I think that because Apple, like Microsoft, has the power to cause changes, it would be sweet if governments actually pushed them towards the ideals you mentioned in this video (e.g. repairability, labour, consumerism). Apple talks a lot about being sustainable. As an example, they gain by taking used products and reselling them at a higher price than the amount you get from giving it to them instead of giving it to someone close to you. But I think in order to change things like that, a change regarding the way people think about wealth and so on has to evolve. People should stop thinking that if they pay a lot they get a lot. I think institutions should educate people regarding responsible use of products, their impact on the environment and a lot more. I actually wanted to say a lot more, but I think we're kind of on the same page. Thanks for your input, Udine!
I actually think that shame is a very healthy emotion. Interesting book: Bonelli "Selber schuld". And shame in a social context acts like a correction to wrong behavior. Like not taking a shit in public. Maybe the word "called out and criticized for their arrogance mixed with ignorance" would be a better phrase, but that's too long... I have met a lot of these people, especially in my corporate work environment. Maybe it comes with income idk... ? And ik my comments sometimes... In Louis's section too, and their weird forums. I just think Apple is no longer a huge hype, like in the 2000s. So maybe it's more subtle now against the noise of Tesla, Google and others... Idk my beef is really with the Apple aholes and the company. I think it's a shitty company. And when it comes to sustainability they absolutely never do more than they have to and have never done so. No reason to put my trust in them anytime soon. It would be awesome, but they have betrayed their users so much in the past, I would not even recommend their refurbished stuff to my mom. Having another preference is one thing. Again, my issue is with those who are fanboys / girls. They just see the good in apple and if you criticize the product, they put your option down or they outright deny it. And they even use the same phrases, like "it's for security" and "it just works". The only good and objective argument (a preference is never a good argument in tech imo... My preference is to drive a huge fast motorcycle, but I mean... I'm not insane) for apple would be their adaptations for visually impaired ppl. They do that really well. Other than that, the preference argument to me is like saying "child labor is my preference" or "spyware is my preference". People ignore the issues and use that as an excuse, but when you criticize consumerism, the answer shouldn't be "but it looks cute". Or at least, if that is truly the reason, then to be so honest and not defend the shitty product. Other examples are SHEIN or Samsung. I don't support them. And people who have the means to buy a new iPhone, they could actually do better and decide not to. Anyway, no hate to the grandma using her phone. Or people who don't know better. But sometimes, especially when I read through another bunch of these comments here or elsewhere, I have just had it. It's not cool. No tolerance for the intolerant. No sympathy for bullies. Bullying bullies is absolutely fine with me, the issue with it is that it can feel not great at all. That's actually the reason why I made this video super moderate. I kinda put a lot of effort into not being pissed there. So it's sad to hear that you find it so bad.
@@UndineAlmani Uh, I didn't say I find it bad, the exact opposite. I just have a differing opinion. Now, I can get behind the first paragraph. Don't know about the rest. Your hate towards Apple is very specific and I understand that. No, I don't want to be a sheep and protect a company, but haven't you thought about your valid points in the video being applicable to so many more companies? Also, if you really think that shaming people gets them to walk the right path, you clearly haven't thought about people being paradox here and there. Shaming people for something they do instead of teaching them (maybe over and over, which is what teachers do) isn't going anywhere. Doesn't really make anyone interested in the matter who you'd want to shame. Just to say that. And yes, when I first saw one of your videos ranting about something related to Apple, I was interested and baffled at the same time. And it's still interesting, but the vibe is just off when I hear only about hate instead of how to conquer issues related to the things mentioned. That's why I mentioned governments pushing companies to do the right thing, which is why I thought you understand and us being on the same page - well, maybe not. I don't use shaming or hating on people to get them to be a certain way or change their behaviour, it's just not healthy for anyone. Also, you went from products being intuitive or rather not to people preferring child labour? How does that work?! That's a load. People can choose Apple products and be aware of the negative sides, just like using artificial intelligence / LLM etc. What really made me strengthen my mindset regarding this is what Tim Cook said once in an interview (title: "Apple CEO Tim Cook on company's "holy grail," taking risks and more | Extended Interviews", time: 07:02 ). No, I don't take the words directly from his mouth, I can get behind them. I am aware stuff like this is PR. You can only cause that change by sort of continuing to exist, which is (at least publicly) why they do what they do. Also, if Apple really did only the necessary, I could hardly believe them having so many projects they support. This is only me referring to what I have read and experienced. Yes, I am aware of the negative sides, but also the positive ones. If we really were to be completely clean morally instead of complex (which is sadly necessary these days), we'd not be able to use lots of products we use today. Make use of what you have in order to make an impact. That instead of sort of making shaming people (yeah, being hateful towards others) seem a good thing, it's just not, sorry. I really like your content and it's thought provoking as I've stated many times already. But the more I see just content about a specific type of user (which isn't even only true for Apple users as I mentioned), I get the vibe that it's just about the fun of hating people on the internet. It just seems overly fixated on Apple. Me even writing this should show you I'm not a "sheep", as some disrespectfully say. There are lots of people out there who aren't aware, will never be or actually are aware of more aspects than the design of products. With people being complex it is way too easy to just say it's okay to be shameful. They might appear shameful, but when done right they could learn etc. We should create a positive climate in which people actually listen because they know the other doesn't mean harm. And shaming people who shame others without any logical foundation (the ones whom you referred to with "it just works" etc.) just will not cause them to be like "Oh, really? I'm so sorry". Sorry, if this made you feel unappreciated. It didn't just feel right to read I'd find your video bad while I was there saying I liked your content. Just be cool with people being different. I've no bad intention and am happy you even take the time to reply to so many people's comments!
I'm not supporting shaming users, because where's the line, should we go full RMS right away? Like I've listened to this video using my RSS-yt-dlp thingy, I'd rather support creators like you (who can code and use free alternatives) not using TH-cam. I had to open this horrible website, instead of commenting with something like ActivityPub using my Masto client of choice. So should I shame you guys for contributing to Google's monopoly? To me shaming is a no-go because this line is very blurry, I'd rather use more positive incentives.
I don't think it's that deep. As in "dork shaming" is not the same as let's say "body shaming", you know what I mean? My video was not meant that seriously. But to close the circle, yes, you should hold me accountable for contributing to a system like that, and feel free to make suggestions how I can improve. ATM I am complacent. Not as much as the average apple user, but I am. I uploaded some shit on odyssee, a platform I really do not enjoy (and don't understand why anyone would), and while I do have the ability to upload everything on my website, I simply don't have the time for it, since I choose my kid's sport and making members content over providing libre content. But I do think, that would be the way to go. And should I at some point get to have the means to do it, I promise I will.
@@UndineAlmani It's pretty easy to pick up. a 4 liter jug of apple juice from the store with no added preservatives, an air lock and a packet of yeast. From there you can make it as fancy or as simple as you want it to be. 👍 If you try it, I recommend starting with an ale yeast. (better yet, a packet of SafCider AS-2 would do ya just fine)
@VektrumSimulacrum I actually have all the equipment, but I'm reluctant... I saw what yeast does on our sourdough. Need to do further research and find it what to pay attention to. Thanks for the encouragement!
@UndineAlmani For sure there are some things to watch out for. Diligent observation of sanitization practices goes a long way to avoid the whole "prison hooch" induced case of Botulism.
Im an ALL Apple guy. I could give two shits what someone wants to use for a phone or computer. I personally don't know anyone who does shame one for their device. I do know Linux on my Macs is wonderful. I just love I can drop 1100$ on a flafship Iphone and it will literally last 5 years easily and works like new the whole time. And I can afford a new phone every year. Ive saved thousands of dollar just by using apple. Thats all Your videos are awesome girl!
Was für jemanden intuitiv ist, hängt von der Person ab. Wenn ich 100 Leuten auf der Straße erzähle wie super intuitiv zsh ist, finde ich vielleicht eine die mir zustimmt. Bis auf das iPad 1 haben alle meine Apple Produkte eine länger Lebenszeit und Versorgung mit Updates gehabt als vergleichbarer Android Kram. Zumindest haben die genauso lange gehalten wie die Fairphones von Freunden. OpenSource? Darwin, das Unix unter MacOS, iOS, etc. ist Open Source. Eine Menge OSS Entwickler nutzen Macs. Ja, Louis Rossmanns Kritik ist berechtigt. Trotzdem nutze ich auf dem Desktop lieber MacOS als Linux und lieber iOS als Android. Ich will einfach ein unixoides OS, mit dem ich programmieren und Grafikkram machen kann. Ohne ständig rumtweaken zu müssen. Und wenn ich einmal im Jahr Netflix für einen Monat abonniere, dann stelle ich einfach die Tonspur auf Japanisch, Englisch, Russisch oder Bangla und lern nebenbei.
@@UndineAlmani Du hast doch von den Apple Usern geredet die erzählen das sie iOS intuitiv finden, nicht von der Apple Werbung. Und dich dann da reingesteigert, weil du es nicht intuitiv findest. Dabei ist das völlig normal, soll sogar Leute geben die KDE intuitiv finden. Hab ich eigentlich schon erwähnt wie geil die Kamera vom iPhone ist? Ich hab trotzdem ständig eine 10 Jahre alte Fujifilm xt10 dabei, weil die ist für mich intuitiver beim knipsen.
I know "shit". I have a "Suck"-metric of my measure. Very simple: the company that steals most of my money and time (=money) sucks the most. I am trained in techical informatics and physics. And the company stealing less of my time than all the others is Apple, sorry. I would happily switch my IT-tools if there are companies with equipment running 10 years without hickup (no PC ever reached that). And for 4(!) years now there is no alternative to energy efficient SoCs (10x times less power for the same tasks) from others. Got a rent rise because PCs draw so much power. Need a phone, or a clock - not a mini laptop with an extra keyboard. Even in "mechanical" times, I left repairs of phones and watches to peeple trained to do this on those devices. Need a computer which simply runs. Tinkering time (been there, done that for decades) is for people which have time to waste. And sorry, "repairing" devices with billions of transistors is simply exchanging parts with no inside knowledge needed. Cars: I don't need to know how a motor works. TVs: Why to know how a LED screen works? To "repair"? And as you quote Louis Rossmann: The far more bigger problem is proprietory software that locks usage or change what you can do. And brand worshipping: As old as human kind. Not escpecially Apple's problem. See clothes and parfums. "Overpriced": I cost my customers a 4 digit sum a day. I rather work and spent that money for more "expensive" tools that work than earn less and tinker to force some partial integration of software never intented to work together (Do you hear me PineWatch?). Fairphone: A marketing trick to sell more modules you never need or exchange to allow you to be proud to have a "repairable" device.. And no enterprise certification. Wow.
Everyone should know how a motor works, because that's simple! Something tells me you a) don't want to understand my point and b) that thrown in "physics" there isn't that accurate. By that definition nobody should get an education because it's less of a waste of time to get some job immediately (by the way the number one argument of people doing apprenticeships in Germany rather than studying - not that everyone needs to study, because that's the next null point I see coming). Please try to keep it concise. If your point is to save time, that just makes you lazy because the difference is what, two weeks? That's a low bar.
@@UndineAlmani If you need, e.g. 2 hours now and then to fix a non running blue tooth connection on a open source "fixable" clock that adds about 400 Euros to your debt. Because cause you can't earn money and invested time without a result or a still not working driver source. for the price difference you can get a working clock with the best sensors on board (akin to medical reference equip) running now for 1000 days without problems. Need a calculator? High level knowledge about software and hardware (motors, computers, what ever) does not "enable" you to a degree to do professional repair. Stop spreading this. I used to repair motors 30 years ago when they were "analogue". Nnowaday try to find the actual moter under the hood and you need a computer to set the MCU and to get it to work. Oops? New for you? But understanding an MCU does not help you if it is damaged or non-functional. You go to a repair workshop that can do that.
@@UndineAlmani "nobody should get an education because it's less of a waste of time" That is not what I ment. Of course you should know something about the things you use to be able to achieve a competent buyers decision for example. More? You need a training. Years of it.
There's a certain type of user who (for whatever reason) doesn't mind not fully controlling the very device they paid for. There's also a certain type of programmer (mostly web developers, but also C++ fanatics) who doesn't mind not understanding certain aspects of the program they've written, because they chose a langugage that "doesn't require users to think about memory managment, etc.". This user / developer is simply to "cultured" and "smart" to worry about implementation details. This is the apple user / web developer.
when they say intuitive ui they mean there's less to know because apple prevents/discourages users from doing a lot of things. i think you need to start from a position of empathy because even you Undine will be guilty of laziness from time to time
i actually think i have heard that before... something among the lines of "it prevents idiots from ab-use and smart users from use". i can try. that comment was only half-serious anyway, cause i am tired all the time. but part of me also know that the same people who complain about it have a shitty sleep routine, do not take good care of themselves (and know it) and opt out of good habits because of... idk, but there is always something. for me it is youtube i guess, sweet irony
you know bashing apple users while using tiktok is kinda...i dunno...stupid just for the fun of it, check for all the rights tiktok asks from you on your phone an then realize all this data goes straight to the chinese government by law who probably will put you into their social ranking system. that can't be comfortable for you. please stop using tiktok as well as you don't use apple products :) still i love your rants, schönen männertach
i think there is a difference between using tiktok and USING tiktok, ykwim? as in being aware of their use of your data and opting in because of the benefits (there is just no other platform that allows me to find good and correct sewing hacks as fast, but would i watch it on the shitter for 20 min? f no!) to the credit score, i am kinda more afraid of the schufa :P anyway, so wenig tiktok wie möglich. :D dir auch!
I think the reason I don't want one is the lack of a keyboard and that it would be another device with a CPU. I just try to limit that. What do you use it for primary, if I may ask?
@@UndineAlmani I don't have a primary use... I use it for various stuff: watching youtube videos or reading e-books in bed, I have a support on my electronics workbench where I use it to bring up diagrams or display the microscope's output... Also it has a keyboard that attaches to a connector on the long side and when my laptop is too heavy, I use my tablet as a laptop and sometimes I connect a bt keyboard and mouse to it. And as I said in my LE, as as an additional monitor for my laptop and desktop, where I can open documentation or a terminal.
uuuuuh... das ist gemein. ich versuch mich ehrlich gesagt immer zu mäßigen. ich wünsche mir ja, dass mehr leute ein handy haben, das nicht sofort ein finanzieller totalschaden ist, wenn es mal runterfällt. aber das problem ist ja nicht apple. das problem ist die gemütlichkeit der leute. bei manchen verstehe ich es. gerade wenn man viel komplexes zeug macht im beruf und abends im arsch ist und keinen nerv dafür hat, sich mit technik (nicht nur handy) zu beschäftigen... okay. aber selbst dann ist es ja auch nicht "irgendein handy halt" sondern es ist ein überteuertes design-gerät. es ist ja nicht so, als ob das irgendwie unter den handys die naheliegendste option wäre, von den funktionen her. aber ich habe im bekanntenkreis zb leute, die haben das einfach geerbt oder ihre kinder haben es ihnen aufgeschwatzt oder die kollegin auf der arbeit hat so eins... die stören mich nicht, die sind ja nicht bösartig. aber diese apple-jünger, die komplett ausrasten, wenn du ihr telefon anzweifelst. oder dir (komplett ungefragt) erzählen, warum dein handy kacke ist (kein witz, zu fairphone schon so oft angesprochen worden und dann kommt ein völlig unverfrorener seitenhieb dass apple so toll ist und das ja leider noch nicht konkurrenzfähig).
@@UndineAlmani Doch, das Problem ist schon Apple. Sie missbrauchen natürliche, psychologische Prozesse, um Menschen zu manipulieren. Das ist im Grunde eine toxische Beziehung, wo du wortwörtlich fünfmal so viel investierst wie du zurückbekommst und an den Partner gebunden wirst. Solange du mitspielst, gibt es ab und zu mal gute Gefühle, aber es ist super schwer sich zu befreien. Dazu kommt noch das narzisstische Gefälle, wo man meint mit seiner Ich-Erweiterung angeben zu können. In dem Fall halt das schöne Handy mit dem Obstlogo, statt der charmanten Borderlinerin. Das Fairphone ist dagegen eine bewusste Entscheidung, wo es nicht nur um einen selbst geht, sondern auch um Andere (wie bei einer erwachsenen Beziehung). Im Ernst: Stell dir mal die Frage, ob man auch toxische Beziehungen zu Unternehmen haben kann.
Hmm it’s again apple bashing google does the same and worse than apple and other phone company’s produce the same way and collecting everything what apple doesn’t.
lol, objectively Apple is pest and Google is Cholera. Also: are you stupid or something? I don't promote Google either. I criticize both. So shut up, Apple boy. Also "Anon" in the name...okay...

what is the difference between having a phone + external keyboard vs a tablet? I use a tablet purely for entertainment (youtube, cooking apps, etc.) and not work, but thats just me
i have no idea... i think it is both stupid, but i bought the keyboard for the ice rink. i can not bring a bigger devise there but this works. otherwise, i would never get either (tablet or this).
Ask an Apple user how to save the currently open page in Safari as a PDF (something companies frequently ask for) from an iPhone (pre iOS 17) and when they are finished ask them to explain what they think is intuitive about that (just see they actually fixed this finally in iOS 17... :-O 17 years, impressive Apple impressive!).
Follow up, in iOS 17 ask them to share an embedded PDF from the web (for example a receipt) as a file in Telegram. Note: the actual PDF *not* a link to the website (which the person asking the question almost certainly won't have access to, assuming receipt).
No Apple user I know has been able to answer these questions. But they'll moan about my Android devices or belittle my choice of Linux as a desktop. They have no true understanding of intuitive. I migrated my family to Apple full well knowing they can't create anything intuitive... *but* they at least do support their devices far longer than any other alternatives were doing (until very recently). Also I'd never wish Windows on anyone :)
lol 😆 I think I don't want to know what happens if you try that... I will migrate my mom to Linux, I think. It'll make remote support soooo much easier. Otherwise I always have to get into her stupid network first or use vine. Both not super safe and slow AF.
Have you ever thought to use a pixel with grapheneOS?
This is why I use Linux, it not only allows me to have control over my device and how I use it but has forced me learn about it which is a good thing. As for my phone I it's used for just that and has no social media apps on it as I find the amount of permissions they require is over the top in almost every case, if not every.
That's the superior choice there. I can not opt out of social media, since I use it for messaging with members and even some friends. I knowy that's kinda lame, but I've tried before and it lead to missing out on a lot of updates for me. So I guess I just see it as a work thing now... 🤔
@@UndineAlmani It tool me a while to get used to it but it has been good for me. I still use it on my computer and have went to get rid of it before but I found I was missing out on a lot of things as people would post there but not use the phone to call or message people who don't use it.
I just discovered your channel and I liked your lifestyle and perspective on things. I realize that I'm really a slave to capitalism right now, but I think I like this life. I'm sure my lifestyle will change as I watch more of your videos, but this feels like stepping out of my comfort zone. I'll add an update here in a few months, let's see what time tells.
That's cool actually! I like that. It is hard for me to find the right tone between being either too offensive or not offensive enough (and decided to give up a little). So I am glad if people find my videos helpful for any given reason. If you update, tag me (@ undinealmani without the space), so I get notified (it doesn't always work). The parts of my life, where I still depend on a high level of consumerism are the most weighing down ones to me. So I feel what you say. And then there are little things, like when I got rid of my bed frame... and everytime I sit in or lie on my bed, I'm like, yes, this is the shit :D And that way, those small choices just continue to make me feel more free and independent. It doesn't really matter what it is, but I am sure you can find those things in your life as well.
Das Fairphone ist von der Idee wirklich gut und ich habe schon öfter darüber nachgedacht umzusteigen, aber es ist mir einfach viel zu groß. Könnte ich dann gleich zusammen mit der Herrenhandtasche kaufen.
Mir fehlt in dem Video aber ein wenig die inhaltliche Kritik an Apple. Das ist mir alles zu dünn und btw es gibt Kontextmenüs auf dem iPhone ;)
Ich denke der Punkt warum viele das iPhone mögen ist, weil es einfach funktioniert und sehr lange hält. Die Möglichkeit selbst Reparaturen durchzuführen ist heute ein generelles Problem und nicht auf Apple begrenzt. Macht es nicht besser, aber ist halt auch kein spezielles Problem von Apple.
Beim Thema Security sieht es abseits von selbst gebauten Lösungen auch verhältnismäßig gut aus. Wo es geht werden Dinge lokal ausgewertet und nicht an Apple gesendet. Die Cloud lässt sich inzwischen komplett verschlüsseln, ohne das Apple den Schlüssel kennt und Apples Geschäftsmodell ist nicht der verkauf deiner Daten. Von daher gibt es aus Sicht des Konsumenten erst einmal keine wirklich bessere Alternative. Das Fairphone wird wie es aussieht standardmäßig mit einem Schnüffel-Android geliefert. Ich habe zumindest keine Option gefunden es ab Werk mit einem anderen System zu bestellen, Murena bietet wohl etwas mit /e/OS an.
Letztlich ist man halt ziemlich gekniffen, wenn man auf offene Systeme zurückgreifen möchte, das fängt schon damit an, dass ich für ein Linux-Phone abseits von Android gar keine Apps bekomme. Ich bin also immer auf ein angepasstes Android angewiesen und es ist immer mit mehr oder weniger starken Kompromissen und Einschränkungen bei den Apps verbunden, wenn man nicht die Schnüffel-Apps von Google verwenden will. Das Problem hat man bei Apple einfach nicht.
Na ja, wer garantiert das Apple den Schlüssel für die Cloud nicht kennt?
@@JohnSteed-gs5bb garantieren kann das niemand, da der Code nicht einsehbar ist. Aber auch bei quelloffenem Code gibt es keine Garantie, solange man nicht selber nachgeschaut hat.
Letztlich gibt es bei anderen Herstellern aber nichts mit vergleichbarem Sicherheitsniveau und es zwingt mich auch niemand bei Apple Daten in die Cloud zu laden. Aktuell gehen die Backups beim iPhone komplett lokal. Google auf der anderen Seite macht erst gar keinen Hehl daraus, dass sie alle Daten auswerten und vermarkten. Ich habe oft den Eindruck, dass viele meinen Google würde die ganzen „kostenlosen“ Dienste aus reinster Menschenliebe anbieten.
Ich spreche hier auch nur vom iPhone. Andere Geräte von Apple besitze ich nicht. Auf meinen anderen Geräten nutze ich seit über 20 Jahren Linux.
Wurde doch schon gezeigt, dass sie sogar außerhalb der Cloud schon Dateien analysieren.
@@UndineAlmani was meinst du konkret. Das einzige woran ich mich erinnere war, dass vor ein paar Jahren eine dubiose Klitsche behauptet hat, Apple würde sich nicht an die eigenen Trackingeinstellungen halten. Ob da wirklich was dran war, weiß ich nicht.
Will man wirklich auf Nummer sicher gehen, muss man schon Aufwand treiben und sich eine private cloud aufbauen, auf die Dienste der Hersteller verzichten und sich selbst um Backups kümmern. Btw gibt es eine brauchbare freie Karten-App zum navigieren mit Verkehrsinfos?
@@KW35- um das abzukürzen. IOS ist nicht Open Source d.h. letztlich weiß niemand was da wirklich übertragen wird. Wer garantiert z.b. das bei Face ID nicht dein Bild an Apple übertragen wird?
I use a trackball mouse for my phone when I'm in the car while it's mounted. It blocks the noise pigs vision when i want to use my phone while it's mounted. Hands free and all that. Take that iPhone user's. You can't do that.
🤣😂 Loved your sense of humor here. And agree with you on many points too. Why do companies keep making products worse to "improve" them? Change for the sake of change, ugh....
The thing I hate about the a-typical apple user is their incessant use of : higher price = better device. They are probably the type who will, for example, buy a certain brand of frozen fries because the cost means they are better. But would fail a triple blind test involving other, cheaper brands.
I get what you're saying. However, I don't think shaming people is the right idea. Users being unknowledgeable about how the products they use work and then acting the way you explained, that's truly annoying. But that's surely not specific to Apple users. It may be the people I am with, but I have yet to come across an Apple user who actually is as obnoxious as the people you describe in this video. Regarding intuitive design: Apart from ones opinion being dependent on what one used to learn navigating the digital world, agree to disagree, I think you could just be preferring Linux and navigating interfaces with a cursor, which is totally fine. But please keep in mind that there are other people who prefer other things. Hence, no need to be like "Where is this intuitive?!". I try to keep an open mind by consuming content like yours, which I like a lot actually, by the way. But it is sometimes hard to keep it cool when: I just want to learn something about macOS, maybe how to use Shortcuts (the application), and there's almost no way to just be excited to learn something without coming across some arrogant comment stating that other computers can do xyzzy as well. Like, yeah, we most likely know. It's just toxic, poisoning the atmosphere for anyone who just wants to enjoy something. I'm having a hard time actually believing that there are the types of users you describe out there when I rarely see them. It's mostly "The date using android is a red flag", which is absolutely annoying and wrong. But that's it. And I consume lots of content involving Apple, though I only ever see people being like "Android has had that for years", but whenever there's something coming to Android and has been on iPhone for years nobody says anything. And, well, that's weird. Just use whatever you like and try to make a positive impact. Just do that and Bob's your uncle.
Just noticed I omitted this completely:
I think that because Apple, like Microsoft, has the power to cause changes, it would be sweet if governments actually pushed them towards the ideals you mentioned in this video (e.g. repairability, labour, consumerism). Apple talks a lot about being sustainable. As an example, they gain by taking used products and reselling them at a higher price than the amount you get from giving it to them instead of giving it to someone close to you. But I think in order to change things like that, a change regarding the way people think about wealth and so on has to evolve. People should stop thinking that if they pay a lot they get a lot. I think institutions should educate people regarding responsible use of products, their impact on the environment and a lot more. I actually wanted to say a lot more, but I think we're kind of on the same page. Thanks for your input, Udine!
I actually think that shame is a very healthy emotion. Interesting book: Bonelli "Selber schuld". And shame in a social context acts like a correction to wrong behavior. Like not taking a shit in public. Maybe the word "called out and criticized for their arrogance mixed with ignorance" would be a better phrase, but that's too long... I have met a lot of these people, especially in my corporate work environment. Maybe it comes with income idk... ? And ik my comments sometimes... In Louis's section too, and their weird forums. I just think Apple is no longer a huge hype, like in the 2000s. So maybe it's more subtle now against the noise of Tesla, Google and others...
Idk my beef is really with the Apple aholes and the company. I think it's a shitty company. And when it comes to sustainability they absolutely never do more than they have to and have never done so. No reason to put my trust in them anytime soon. It would be awesome, but they have betrayed their users so much in the past, I would not even recommend their refurbished stuff to my mom.
Having another preference is one thing. Again, my issue is with those who are fanboys / girls. They just see the good in apple and if you criticize the product, they put your option down or they outright deny it. And they even use the same phrases, like "it's for security" and "it just works". The only good and objective argument (a preference is never a good argument in tech imo... My preference is to drive a huge fast motorcycle, but I mean... I'm not insane) for apple would be their adaptations for visually impaired ppl. They do that really well. Other than that, the preference argument to me is like saying "child labor is my preference" or "spyware is my preference". People ignore the issues and use that as an excuse, but when you criticize consumerism, the answer shouldn't be "but it looks cute". Or at least, if that is truly the reason, then to be so honest and not defend the shitty product. Other examples are SHEIN or Samsung. I don't support them. And people who have the means to buy a new iPhone, they could actually do better and decide not to.
Anyway, no hate to the grandma using her phone. Or people who don't know better. But sometimes, especially when I read through another bunch of these comments here or elsewhere, I have just had it. It's not cool. No tolerance for the intolerant. No sympathy for bullies. Bullying bullies is absolutely fine with me, the issue with it is that it can feel not great at all. That's actually the reason why I made this video super moderate. I kinda put a lot of effort into not being pissed there. So it's sad to hear that you find it so bad.
@@UndineAlmani Uh, I didn't say I find it bad, the exact opposite. I just have a differing opinion. Now, I can get behind the first paragraph. Don't know about the rest. Your hate towards Apple is very specific and I understand that. No, I don't want to be a sheep and protect a company, but haven't you thought about your valid points in the video being applicable to so many more companies? Also, if you really think that shaming people gets them to walk the right path, you clearly haven't thought about people being paradox here and there. Shaming people for something they do instead of teaching them (maybe over and over, which is what teachers do) isn't going anywhere. Doesn't really make anyone interested in the matter who you'd want to shame. Just to say that. And yes, when I first saw one of your videos ranting about something related to Apple, I was interested and baffled at the same time. And it's still interesting, but the vibe is just off when I hear only about hate instead of how to conquer issues related to the things mentioned. That's why I mentioned governments pushing companies to do the right thing, which is why I thought you understand and us being on the same page - well, maybe not. I don't use shaming or hating on people to get them to be a certain way or change their behaviour, it's just not healthy for anyone.
Also, you went from products being intuitive or rather not to people preferring child labour? How does that work?! That's a load. People can choose Apple products and be aware of the negative sides, just like using artificial intelligence / LLM etc. What really made me strengthen my mindset regarding this is what Tim Cook said once in an interview (title: "Apple CEO Tim Cook on company's "holy grail," taking risks and more | Extended Interviews", time: 07:02 ). No, I don't take the words directly from his mouth, I can get behind them. I am aware stuff like this is PR. You can only cause that change by sort of continuing to exist, which is (at least publicly) why they do what they do. Also, if Apple really did only the necessary, I could hardly believe them having so many projects they support. This is only me referring to what I have read and experienced. Yes, I am aware of the negative sides, but also the positive ones. If we really were to be completely clean morally instead of complex (which is sadly necessary these days), we'd not be able to use lots of products we use today. Make use of what you have in order to make an impact. That instead of sort of making shaming people (yeah, being hateful towards others) seem a good thing, it's just not, sorry. I really like your content and it's thought provoking as I've stated many times already. But the more I see just content about a specific type of user (which isn't even only true for Apple users as I mentioned), I get the vibe that it's just about the fun of hating people on the internet. It just seems overly fixated on Apple. Me even writing this should show you I'm not a "sheep", as some disrespectfully say. There are lots of people out there who aren't aware, will never be or actually are aware of more aspects than the design of products. With people being complex it is way too easy to just say it's okay to be shameful. They might appear shameful, but when done right they could learn etc. We should create a positive climate in which people actually listen because they know the other doesn't mean harm. And shaming people who shame others without any logical foundation (the ones whom you referred to with "it just works" etc.) just will not cause them to be like "Oh, really? I'm so sorry". Sorry, if this made you feel unappreciated. It didn't just feel right to read I'd find your video bad while I was there saying I liked your content. Just be cool with people being different. I've no bad intention and am happy you even take the time to reply to so many people's comments!
I'm not supporting shaming users, because where's the line, should we go full RMS right away? Like I've listened to this video using my RSS-yt-dlp thingy, I'd rather support creators like you (who can code and use free alternatives) not using TH-cam. I had to open this horrible website, instead of commenting with something like ActivityPub using my Masto client of choice. So should I shame you guys for contributing to Google's monopoly? To me shaming is a no-go because this line is very blurry, I'd rather use more positive incentives.
I don't think it's that deep. As in "dork shaming" is not the same as let's say "body shaming", you know what I mean? My video was not meant that seriously. But to close the circle, yes, you should hold me accountable for contributing to a system like that, and feel free to make suggestions how I can improve. ATM I am complacent. Not as much as the average apple user, but I am. I uploaded some shit on odyssee, a platform I really do not enjoy (and don't understand why anyone would), and while I do have the ability to upload everything on my website, I simply don't have the time for it, since I choose my kid's sport and making members content over providing libre content. But I do think, that would be the way to go. And should I at some point get to have the means to do it, I promise I will.
I think she is shaming the ignorance, not really the actions themselves. At least be aware that good PR does not mean good company.
I did some Apple bashing the other day..then I added wildflower honey and wine yeast. Does that count?
Absolutely! I wish I knew how to do that actually...
@@UndineAlmani It's pretty easy to pick up. a 4 liter jug of apple juice from the store with no added preservatives, an air lock and a packet of yeast. From there you can make it as fancy or as simple as you want it to be. 👍 If you try it, I recommend starting with an ale yeast. (better yet, a packet of SafCider AS-2 would do ya just fine)
@VektrumSimulacrum I actually have all the equipment, but I'm reluctant... I saw what yeast does on our sourdough. Need to do further research and find it what to pay attention to. Thanks for the encouragement!
@UndineAlmani For sure there are some things to watch out for. Diligent observation of sanitization practices goes a long way to avoid the whole "prison hooch" induced case of Botulism.
Perhaps you should have a conversation with Temple Grandin about abstractification.
Zwinkersmiley.
I can not afford the length of the hotel stay outside of Europe those endless nightly conversations would probably require.
Im an ALL Apple guy. I could give two shits what someone wants to use for a phone or computer. I personally don't know anyone who does shame one for their device. I do know Linux on my Macs is wonderful. I just love I can drop 1100$ on a flafship Iphone and it will literally last 5 years easily and works like new the whole time. And I can afford a new phone every year. Ive saved thousands of dollar just by using apple. Thats all Your videos are awesome girl!
Was für jemanden intuitiv ist, hängt von der Person ab. Wenn ich 100 Leuten auf der Straße erzähle wie super intuitiv zsh ist, finde ich vielleicht eine die mir zustimmt. Bis auf das iPad 1 haben alle meine Apple Produkte eine länger Lebenszeit und Versorgung mit Updates gehabt als vergleichbarer Android Kram. Zumindest haben die genauso lange gehalten wie die Fairphones von Freunden. OpenSource? Darwin, das Unix unter MacOS, iOS, etc. ist Open Source. Eine Menge OSS Entwickler nutzen Macs. Ja, Louis Rossmanns Kritik ist berechtigt. Trotzdem nutze ich auf dem Desktop lieber MacOS als Linux und lieber iOS als Android. Ich will einfach ein unixoides OS, mit dem ich programmieren und Grafikkram machen kann. Ohne ständig rumtweaken zu müssen. Und wenn ich einmal im Jahr Netflix für einen Monat abonniere, dann stelle ich einfach die Tonspur auf Japanisch, Englisch, Russisch oder Bangla und lern nebenbei.
Sie werben damit, dass es intuitiv ist, also verallgemeinern sie doch selber. Meine Güte, muss man alles so ernst nehmen...
@@UndineAlmani Du hast doch von den Apple Usern geredet die erzählen das sie iOS intuitiv finden, nicht von der Apple Werbung. Und dich dann da reingesteigert, weil du es nicht intuitiv findest. Dabei ist das völlig normal, soll sogar Leute geben die KDE intuitiv finden. Hab ich eigentlich schon erwähnt wie geil die Kamera vom iPhone ist? Ich hab trotzdem ständig eine 10 Jahre alte Fujifilm xt10 dabei, weil die ist für mich intuitiver beim knipsen.
I know "shit". I have a "Suck"-metric of my measure. Very simple: the company that steals most of my money and time (=money) sucks the most. I am trained in techical informatics and physics. And the company stealing less of my time than all the others is Apple, sorry. I would happily switch my IT-tools if there are companies with equipment running 10 years without hickup (no PC ever reached that). And for 4(!) years now there is no alternative to energy efficient SoCs (10x times less power for the same tasks) from others. Got a rent rise because PCs draw so much power. Need a phone, or a clock - not a mini laptop with an extra keyboard. Even in "mechanical" times, I left repairs of phones and watches to peeple trained to do this on those devices. Need a computer which simply runs. Tinkering time (been there, done that for decades) is for people which have time to waste. And sorry, "repairing" devices with billions of transistors is simply exchanging parts with no inside knowledge needed.
Cars: I don't need to know how a motor works. TVs: Why to know how a LED screen works? To "repair"? And as you quote Louis Rossmann: The far more bigger problem is proprietory software that locks usage or change what you can do.
And brand worshipping: As old as human kind. Not escpecially Apple's problem. See clothes and parfums.
"Overpriced": I cost my customers a 4 digit sum a day. I rather work and spent that money for more "expensive" tools that work than earn less and tinker to force some partial integration of software never intented to work together (Do you hear me PineWatch?).
Fairphone: A marketing trick to sell more modules you never need or exchange to allow you to be proud to have a "repairable" device.. And no enterprise certification. Wow.
Everyone should know how a motor works, because that's simple! Something tells me you a) don't want to understand my point and b) that thrown in "physics" there isn't that accurate. By that definition nobody should get an education because it's less of a waste of time to get some job immediately (by the way the number one argument of people doing apprenticeships in Germany rather than studying - not that everyone needs to study, because that's the next null point I see coming). Please try to keep it concise. If your point is to save time, that just makes you lazy because the difference is what, two weeks? That's a low bar.
@@UndineAlmani If you need, e.g. 2 hours now and then to fix a non running blue tooth connection on a open source "fixable" clock that adds about 400 Euros to your debt. Because cause you can't earn money and invested time without a result or a still not working driver source. for the price difference you can get a working clock with the best sensors on board (akin to medical reference equip) running now for 1000 days without problems. Need a calculator?
High level knowledge about software and hardware (motors, computers, what ever) does not "enable" you to a degree to do professional repair. Stop spreading this.
I used to repair motors 30 years ago when they were "analogue". Nnowaday try to find the actual moter under the hood and you need a computer to set the MCU and to get it to work. Oops? New for you?
But understanding an MCU does not help you if it is damaged or non-functional. You go to a repair workshop that can do that.
@@UndineAlmani "nobody should get an education because it's less of a waste of time" That is not what I ment. Of course you should know something about the things you use to be able to achieve a competent buyers decision for example. More? You need a training. Years of it.
Thank you. I agree and I love it.
There's a certain type of user who (for whatever reason) doesn't mind not fully controlling the very device they paid for. There's also a certain type of programmer (mostly web developers, but also C++ fanatics) who doesn't mind not understanding certain aspects of the program they've written, because they chose a langugage that "doesn't require users to think about memory managment, etc.". This user / developer is simply to "cultured" and "smart" to worry about implementation details. This is the apple user / web developer.
Most therapeutic video I've seen this week
Awwwww :)))
Well, said.
when they say intuitive ui they mean there's less to know because apple prevents/discourages users from doing a lot of things. i think you need to start from a position of empathy because even you Undine will be guilty of laziness from time to time
i actually think i have heard that before... something among the lines of "it prevents idiots from ab-use and smart users from use".
i can try. that comment was only half-serious anyway, cause i am tired all the time. but part of me also know that the same people who complain about it have a shitty sleep routine, do not take good care of themselves (and know it) and opt out of good habits because of... idk, but there is always something. for me it is youtube i guess, sweet irony
you know bashing apple users while using tiktok is kinda...i dunno...stupid
just for the fun of it, check for all the rights tiktok asks from you on your phone an then realize all this data goes straight to the chinese government by law who probably will put you into their social ranking system. that can't be comfortable for you. please stop using tiktok as well as you don't use apple products :)
still i love your rants, schönen männertach
i think there is a difference between using tiktok and USING tiktok, ykwim? as in being aware of their use of your data and opting in because of the benefits (there is just no other platform that allows me to find good and correct sewing hacks as fast, but would i watch it on the shitter for 20 min? f no!) to the credit score, i am kinda more afraid of the schufa :P anyway, so wenig tiktok wie möglich.
:D dir auch!
I have a tablet just because they had tablets in Star Trek. 😜
Also, it is useful as a second display for my laptop.
I think the reason I don't want one is the lack of a keyboard and that it would be another device with a CPU. I just try to limit that. What do you use it for primary, if I may ask?
@@UndineAlmani I don't have a primary use... I use it for various stuff: watching youtube videos or reading e-books in bed, I have a support on my electronics workbench where I use it to bring up diagrams or display the microscope's output... Also it has a keyboard that attaches to a connector on the long side and when my laptop is too heavy, I use my tablet as a laptop and sometimes I connect a bt keyboard and mouse to it. And as I said in my LE, as as an additional monitor for my laptop and desktop, where I can open documentation or a terminal.
I use Apple, but don't worry, I feel bad about it.
That's the spirit! :D
same here, but only an iphone
Wenn ich iPhone-Nutzer sehe erlaube ich mir manchmal den Spaß und sage: "Mein Beileid zu ihrem iPhone".
uuuuuh... das ist gemein. ich versuch mich ehrlich gesagt immer zu mäßigen. ich wünsche mir ja, dass mehr leute ein handy haben, das nicht sofort ein finanzieller totalschaden ist, wenn es mal runterfällt. aber das problem ist ja nicht apple. das problem ist die gemütlichkeit der leute. bei manchen verstehe ich es. gerade wenn man viel komplexes zeug macht im beruf und abends im arsch ist und keinen nerv dafür hat, sich mit technik (nicht nur handy) zu beschäftigen... okay. aber selbst dann ist es ja auch nicht "irgendein handy halt" sondern es ist ein überteuertes design-gerät. es ist ja nicht so, als ob das irgendwie unter den handys die naheliegendste option wäre, von den funktionen her. aber ich habe im bekanntenkreis zb leute, die haben das einfach geerbt oder ihre kinder haben es ihnen aufgeschwatzt oder die kollegin auf der arbeit hat so eins... die stören mich nicht, die sind ja nicht bösartig. aber diese apple-jünger, die komplett ausrasten, wenn du ihr telefon anzweifelst. oder dir (komplett ungefragt) erzählen, warum dein handy kacke ist (kein witz, zu fairphone schon so oft angesprochen worden und dann kommt ein völlig unverfrorener seitenhieb dass apple so toll ist und das ja leider noch nicht konkurrenzfähig).
@@UndineAlmani Doch, das Problem ist schon Apple. Sie missbrauchen natürliche, psychologische Prozesse, um Menschen zu manipulieren. Das ist im Grunde eine toxische Beziehung, wo du wortwörtlich fünfmal so viel investierst wie du zurückbekommst und an den Partner gebunden wirst. Solange du mitspielst, gibt es ab und zu mal gute Gefühle, aber es ist super schwer sich zu befreien. Dazu kommt noch das narzisstische Gefälle, wo man meint mit seiner Ich-Erweiterung angeben zu können. In dem Fall halt das schöne Handy mit dem Obstlogo, statt der charmanten Borderlinerin. Das Fairphone ist dagegen eine bewusste Entscheidung, wo es nicht nur um einen selbst geht, sondern auch um Andere (wie bei einer erwachsenen Beziehung). Im Ernst: Stell dir mal die Frage, ob man auch toxische Beziehungen zu Unternehmen haben kann.
Apple bullies 😂 relax
Hmm it’s again apple bashing google does the same and worse than apple and other phone company’s produce the same way and collecting everything what apple doesn’t.
lol, objectively Apple is pest and Google is Cholera. Also: are you stupid or something? I don't promote Google either. I criticize both. So shut up, Apple boy. Also "Anon" in the name...okay...
And you are adorable
I love this kind of video of you 😂😂
