Oh an Apple thread. More people angry at something they were never going to buy anyway.

[–] simonced@lemmy.one 28 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

More like laughing at what they were not going to buy anyway.

I'm still laughing at the mouse you can't use while it's charging

[–] uis@lemm.ee 12 points 3 weeks ago

True innovation tho. There was no other mouse you couldn't use while charging.

Excuse me. Some of us do buy Apple products. And there's nothing that comes close to the bargain price of the base model, so we laugh at it while buying it too.

I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

The mac comes with 256 GB though, and 256 > 1

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Which one is it.

I thought it was satire at first, because the magic mouse has a charging port on the bottom making it unusable when charging

Turns out its not 🤡

Yeah, I used one of those and it made no sense. My Logitech MX Master has it on the front and works perfectly with my work Mac. Sometimes obvious design choices should be followed...

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

if it didn't make us angry, and INFLUENCE OTHER BUSINESSES TO DO THE SAME REPUGNANT SHIT, we'd be buying it.

[–] stardust@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

I guess I'll be the exception as someone who does have a macmini because it is the best priced mini pc that can't be beat, and will likely get the base model for this too for the same reason.

But I still would prefer a power button in the front.

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

I'm not angry. I'm just confused.

Gotta get the Apple haters to be their #1 advertisers for free.

Keep it up people. Apple did almost nothing to advertise this computer. You're the advertisement.

[–] foofy@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

smh Apple playing 5th dimensional chess again making stupid design decisions to get the all important lemmy advertising for free.

Tim apple is truly a genius
