i have a mac, why does no one hate me?

[juji]

i'm curious

[Lisa Claus]

would you like a big adoration speech?

[maks]

they're just jealous

[Lisa Claus]

they're just jealous

^ this true for the other half

[juji]

they're just jealous

Oh yes, it makes sense.


Anyways, i'm looking a crossplatform USB wireless gamepad for Mac and use Steam Big Picture

[juji]

I have a PS style controller but it won't work and i didn't knew it uses DirectInput (API Hardware from Microsoft), so i'm pissed off

[steveyos]

I use a wired xbox 360 controller works great

[juji]

I have wireless xbox 360 controller, i don't know if it works for computers, i guess they offer USB adapter

[steveyos]

you can with pc but I'm not sure about mac yet they like to make sure they're really outdated so maybe they'll patent and introduced it in 2018

[juji]

mac and linux require a driver to get working with xbox 360 controller

[steveyos]

looks like windows wins again

[juji]

Xbox 360 is part of Microsoft, most modern off-brand USB controllers work with Linux and mac

[steveyos]

yeah but the 360 controller is the best and games are fully designed to work with it


it's just stupid to be on a mac for any reason, but for gaming? ya gotta be dumb

[juji]

I'm not saying about gaming, it's awesome and most advanced operative system that i don't need an anti-virus software, it's very stable and faster than windows, also it runs 3D AAA games without a GPU card

[steveyos]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH oh my goodness

[juji]

I'm not joking, it's the reality, you can go to Apple store and install a game to try, there are Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, Starcraft 2, etc. for Mac

if you tried using a mac back in the early 00s and got to see for yourself what a fucking nightmare it was, you'd understand that I can never forgive apple for their bullshit..
They should leave computer making to the big boys and take their "user friendly BS" stunts to the circus

"works great" - steveyos 2010 talking about his new samseng evo tech iii droid V. He subsequently threw it in the bin.

I usually try to +rep plug drugs, I'm on a mission to keep him green despite his self destructive habit of defending clump but I just can't when he's talking out his ass again like this.

yeah, i had horrible experiences with Windows 98 and XP in the 00s

i don't use macs for my life, just for work

honestly though, Macs may be "okay" right now (i still hate the interface, but as functioning computers they are tolerable), but back in the early 00s, they were broken machines.. they couldnt even compare to others comps

Did you mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Public_Beta ?

This is an excellent point, anyone who remembers XP fondly obviously never used it before sp1

The interface is almost identical to windows 7, just admit you hate it for the sake of hating it. and, like juji pointed out, yur options in 2000 were shit or shit lite.

well, one of the highschools i went to had a computer lab full of macs that apple gave the school (at a discounted price or something) as like a promotional thing to try and hook kids on macintosh while they were young (tobacco company business strategy imo)

They crashed all the time.. sometimes students would be in the middle of typing a 5 page essay and it would just crash and they'd lose it all. Even saving your document constantly, crashing would still make you lose paragraphs and having to spend 5-10 minutes rebooting the machine and this would usually break your train of thought, and the time wasted would cause you have to stay after school just to finish

some of the computers wouldn't print... the printers worked fine for some of the macs in the lab, but some macs just tarded out and wouldn't print even though on the mac's end, the printer was visible..

When you tried starting some programs, nothing would happen.. then 5 minutes later they'd finally appear and if you tried starting the program more than once, then multiple instances of the same program would all pop up

it couldn't have been bogged down with viruses or adware because "macs dont have viruses lolz!"

There was no major processes bogging down the mac's CPU or memory, because the only programs on the computer were the ones that came with it. They literally were laggy pieces of shit right out of the factory.

Mac used to not support flash either, did they? Just ridiculous.
