Apple, the Evil Itself or cool electronic toys?


I have still lots to learn about MacOS: i 2 Days ago to get an Password from an TXT File (nothing that important) on my USB Stic, and did waste about 5 Minutes until i did figure out where to look for the Drive Manager (Explorer) , on Windows you got an Folder Symbol in your Taskbar which gives you all the Drives, but on MacOS its somewhere on the Finder and depents on the Window you have open.. it was quite strange..

I have the System now shutdown when im not about to use it in the next few hours, i found that on Monday Morning, the Fan was running .. or it might be the System got not enough ventilation: I had it sitting unter the Display Stand, and on its right side i had an USB Power Supply..
 
Im as good as impressed: I did yesterday test if i can run the Farming Simulator 25 on the Mac Mini M4 : and quess what? Its runs whit high Grapic on about 24 fps :) , you can even run an Music Streaming App simultane and show it on your Ipad as an Second Screen ^^ , or you could have something else open on the Second Screen like an Browser where you can search for Tipps .. , but its nice to know that the Game runs there ^^

Not every of my Steam Games where running on MacOS though, some not that demanding like Skyrim are possible over Windows 11 Parallels VM, and others? i have still to test..

Whit its Internet Stuff its still a bit strange: Our DSL is quite picky and dosnt work the whole day, so sometimes i have to just connect my Phone as an 5G Hotspot, but then its dosnt communicate over the LAN Cable to my Network, so its cant par exemple use the Printer which is also in my WLAN, ..

And now i got used too the Apple Keyboard Layout, i dont have any Mistakes anymore when i try to write @ but close the Window..

Funfact on the Farming Simulator: The M4 is an ARM CPU, so i finally got the FarmingSim to run on ARM : A few years ago i wanted to run the Farming Simulator 2013 on the Phytium Based ARM64 Mini PC via Box86, did never work as something whent wrong whit my Linux, but i did not wanted to Reflash the Computer because i had used it to Save the Roms from the Pyra..
And now the Newest Farming Simulator works on ARM .. ^^
 
Well, after the Amazon CEO seems to be much more Evil than Apple, not only cause of his Monster Yacht with Supply Yacht, where he needed a few years ago an Historical Bridge in the Netherland to get unmount so he could reach the Ocean .. , i did decide last week to screw this Kindle Pocket Carry and better get me an Ipad Mini ..

Works allready quite good, maybe not for every Pants Pocket as 8,3 Inch is actually quite big, but its fits for my Engelberth Strauß Workpants ^^ , Did read allready a good Chapter but only inside the House as the Weather was not dry enough this weekend .. , its also nice as an Comic Reading Device, and a smaller Tablett you have whit you everywhere..

Its the 7th Generation, so lot newer Hardware than my 5th Gen Ipad Air, but i did not notice an difference ..

Its also meant as an On the Go Working Ipad, but whit the Pencil i have to retinkh my Carry Methode: The Ipad itself fits in my Pocket, but an Pencil would make it wider .. so it have to put it in an different Pocket whit its own Carry Case ..
 
People by iPhones because in desperation they hope if they pay more for a phone it will be less annoying. People buy macs because they are not windows and they aren't smart enough to use Linux :cool:
 
I have Parallels on my Mac whit Windows11 and Ubuntu,
I did buy my first Iphone back then as i was quite happy whit the Ipods as Mp3 Players, i did often had need to Reset other Mp3 Players on my Running Trainings, but the Ipods did work perfectly .. , .. , so i got me an Ipod Phone .. , then the Ipad Air was in Special Offer and i found it might fit my Needs .. , the Mac Mini was just some sort of an Spontainious Buy, and i did want to try MacOS as this System was known for Working Fine whit other Apple Products like the Iphone and the Ipad ..

And the Ipad Mini was also a Spontainious Buy, out of Frustation on Friday Morning ..
 
Sorry I was a bit rude. Apple are still better than other mainstream competition. I wish they could innovate more, be more developer friendly, more unix interoperable, less closed. Like they used to be.
 
Dont worry, i did not read it the way i think it was meant rude, in fact they are quite "Conservative" whit there Design: The Newer Iphones are nothing different than the Ipod Touch, only maybe a few more Cameras, while other even got Folding Phones .. , might be i would not had need an Pocket Ipad when they made an Folding Iphone, but on the other side its maybe not that dump to have 2 Devices: Reading Books and other things will drain your Batterie, so this way you can make the whole Enterntainment on the Go but got still a Iphone for Emergency Calls etc.. , at least Apple got now ARM Support, and the "Emulation" is not that bad: i can even play Farming Simulator 25 on the ARM Mac Mini .. and run X86 Apps ..
