Sorry mac "fans", your CPU is not "cool" enough

Hear from LTT himself.

Not posting as a video because I am not sure if it is okay to have a video embedded in BHW that has a sponsor...

As Linus said at the end of the video... macs are targeted to less tech savvy people who still want a good experience with their computer (could even be a kickass designer who thinks he is better than an asm developer coz he has a mac). I guess you could use macs that way.. hmm..



P.S. Had a few beers. Cheers! I will answer your criticisms tomorrow. Till then, keep flaming me.

What are macs? Operating system?

You buy lap top or computer... Or computer components and assemble it. Then you install windows on it and you crack it, and youre good to go.

Allegedly crack it ALLEGEDLY!!!

I'm in a flaming mood but nothing flameworthy in your post

Been saying this time and time again for years, people just don't seem to ever get it.

Well done on Apple's marketing strategies I guess, apparently 99% of people out there think Mac has great specs for the money

The design is sooo nice! And the interface is so simple, I only want to browse the web and watch YouTube anyway

The thermal throttling issue was a question I seen on Quora, fuck you should have seen the Apple fan boys lose their shit on it.

Tbh I hate laptops. Those are just dead weights to me. I prefer my PC over a laptop any day.

apple is all about marketing their crap to idiots who believe it

I bought a new Macbook Pro a few weeks ago...and I have to say: Damn. I regret it.

Before I had a Macbook Air (2014) and it was superb. No noise, fast, no problems. This Macbook Pro (2020) feels like a downgrade even tho it has much more RAM and much bigger storage. It gets super loud just when opening two programs at the same time and it gets slow. This never happened with the Macbook Air. The only positive aspects are the sound and the display, but thats it.

I am seriously asking myself what the fuck Apple did. How can Macbook Air from 2014 seem to be better than a new Macbook Pro? Wtf.

I am making apps for iOS, so it's quite convenient for me to use a Macbook. Otherwise, I would probably buy a Huawei Matebook or a Samsung Ultrabook.

Same as that amazon fire phone or whatever shit they launched. Just that Amazon has a way to track their performance, but Google probably hasn't/doesn't.

You pay extra to own an Apple, so that Apple can tell you what you're allowed to do with it and how much you have to pay to unlock basic features like updates, which they used to sell.

Apple has spent billions in creating a culture of geekdom and "coolness" to it - really started in the 2000s when they started focusing more on sizzle of ad campaigns. And lots of people buy into it.

If I couldn't use an android, I'd take a windows phone over an iPhone any day.

Linux > Windows > Mac OS

I'd love to have a lightweight Linux on my main PC if it wasn't for the fact that basically no programs support it... It's so much faster than Windows, although I do admit I don't use the Terminal much.

 

[TomTheCat]

Linus is right!

 

[Gogol]

basically no programs support it

Can I have a list of those programs that do not? My Ubuntu 20.x pretty much supports everything you can throw at it (I have a dual boot Ubuntu/Win 10 licensed desktop for that "failing" program) , I mean if you want to.. Adobe doesn't, that's their problem.
