Sup Athletes, Decided to talk a little technology so here we go,
Since media and peer pressure has warped peoples minds into thinking that the mainstream products are “better”. The truth is, these mainstream products are not even good as everyone say, and they even cost more! Everything in this thread are FACTS. Not random, senseless opinions with no proof to prove it.
First up-Beats by Dr. Dre. Recently, these headphones have became very popular. I guess because “they look cool”? Not even damn sure. But truth is, they are no better than any other headphones, and they are VERY overpriced. I personally have Audio Technica M50’s. I got mine for $80. Beats are hovering at about $200 for a pair.
Apple computers vs Windows computers-
• It is a lot more expensive than PC.
• Software and hardware change every six months. The life span of a computer is 2 years and shortening. After 3 years it is completely obsolete and barely runs properly. You’ll have to budget a few grand for a computer every two years.
• You can’t replace parts off the shelves. Except the ram everything is locked and needs the assistance of MAC “geniuses” which cost an awful lot of money.
• You can’t build a Mac easily, and you can’t really customize them, either — not unless you want to invalidate your warranty.
• A lot of utilities plugins are not existent on mac. This has changed a lot the last two years towards the mac side and lot of the mainstream applications are cross platform. Regardless, developers are still writing for the windows side more often.
• Mac’s are not good for gaming. Few titles are supported by mac but it is still relatively limited compared to PC.
• Running windows on a server environment is ten times easier. Windows provide a full kit to run multiple machines on a server. Mac’s are way harder to set up.
Is it really worth it to pay 1,000 more (OVER twice) for the Mac when the Windows is BETTER?!?
IOS vs Android
IOS is actually VERY limited to what it can do. Theres little to no ability to customize your device with IOS. The only way to be able to customize your IOS device more, is to jailbreak it, which in turn, voids the warranty of the device completely. iPhone specs nearly match the specs of other phones, so theres no problem with that. And all smartphones including iPhone are expensive as fuck, so I can’t really say anything about that either. Although iPhones are extremely shitty quality, and break VERY easily. People actually dedicate their lives to creating a business solely to fixing them…
Reasons why apple is a shitty company:
Apply actually FORCES you to buy their products. They make every charger for iPhone/iPod custom so you have to buy from them. 90% of all other phones use the exact same charging cord. A MicroUSB. Not Apple though. And guess what? With the new iOS, this note pops up on screen when you use a non-apple charger: “This is not an authorized Apple product and may not be reliable.” As a result, you might have to splurge for Apple’s original (and more costly) chargers.
