Yes, often more than the actual code. However there’s also manual testing, observing users for usability obstacles, visiting clients, and stuff like that.

Valid argument.

It’s also about opportunities. Some can pass if you don’t react quickly enough.

Impulsivity can lead to all kinds of bad outcomes, for sure.

Don’t overthink is the gist. Most decisions aren’t permanent and can be reversed.

Reviews, planning, teaching, mentoring, testing produce little code.

A VR girlfriend can’t make you soup when you’re sick or stick her cold feet between your thighs. Carrying heavy objects for a girlfriend is a reward in itself.

Being stuck because of worrying and overthinking is not a good place. Calls to action are the only way to improve the situation.

The Surgeon General hawking supplements in official statements would be peak America.

Press secretary would be perfect.

Ideologues on a mission to evangelize.

It was worth a try and could have worked well under different circumstances.

Same here. Excellent mouse. The rubber on the scroll wheel is getting a bit worn now.

Try scheduling a cron tab job to run a task on dates defined that way.

Try finding a current distro that supports PowerPC Macs well.

The terminally online mentally unwell people make it a different experience.

Blockchain Socialist? What a clown.

Provide an example then.

Other companies typically have a little different priorities in their products. Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1, Microsoft Surface, Dell XPS are great laptops in the same league I would say. Dell Precision workstations are same league as the Mac Pro. Dell, HP, and Microsoft Surface make some decent all in one PCs.

All in one computers like the iMac are a niche on the PC side and don’t sell that well. The types of customers are different. PC buyers are usually more price sensitive, whereas Apple customers buy a whole package including the included software. It’s also much easier to buy a Mac, because there’s less choice. The PC market is filled with countless very similar models. Apple makes its simpler.

You get a ton of great software included with every Mac: GarageBand for music production is probably the best for home music creation on any platform. iMovie is an excellent consumer video editing software. The office suite with Keynote, Pages, Numbers is also very good. So what you get when buying an iMac is a powerful machine that’s a great office and media production machine out of the box. No drivers need to be installed, updated, or configured. There’s no adware and trials included in the default install. If you want a Unix like system on a laptop and never worry about battery life, kernel support, etc. All of that can make for a nicer experience.

In the end it depends on what you want to do with your computer. Depending on what tasks you want to accomplish and where you want to use it a different model would make sense for you. There are also applications macOS just isn’t the best fit like gaming or if you have special pro software or peripherals. If you enjoy tinkering and building your own machines, you’re better off using something else as well.
