Some are worse than others....I just stopped seeing Apple WWDC presentations because it is simply tooo much. In the last two ones I saw, the first one that Tim Cook was the CEO, my Asian wife was on my side and uttering all the time "My God are they ALL gay?"...
The last one I saw, where they decided to enforce "diversity", showing an element of each excluded type, instead of showing viable products, was too much to take and process, and I stopped worrying about seeing them after that.
PS. I am of an older generation, and all that fake politeness and made up political correctness makes me want to puke.
Could be worse.....I used to know a place where they banned the term "bad environment", and would not mind of stabbing you behind your back, but God forbid if you used slang or irony when talking about recurrent "issues"...
I used to hate Android with all my guts,however it really improved in the last few years. On the other end, the iPhone user experience/Mac ecosystem did not improve/aged well either.
I am using an Android One, Xiamoi A1, Google updates instead of Xiaomi and very pleased with the experience. So pleased that I gave another to my wife, and chose to buy a Samsung Smartwatch instead of an iWatch too. And a Chromecast Ultra capable of doing 4K.
Putting things in perspective, if you shop around well, at least in my location:
- you can buy twelve 64GB/3-4 GB Xiaomi A1 phones with the price of an iPhone,
- three Samsung Galaxy smartwatches with the price of an iWatch;
- three Chromecast Ultra for the price of a 4K Apple TV.
PS. I used to be part of iOS/MACOS developer program and still have my Apple developer id.
I had an ISP gigs a decade ago...supposedly to fix their servers, or so they said. It seems also their customer provision app was pretty much brain damaged.
In no time to learn PHP properly, and doing yet another expected role in the project, I just designed the web pages in some graphical too in my Mac, and wrote all the web frontend for Apache and backend in C+MySQL. It worked pretty well, and it was fast, and it has been working until now.
Ironically, I can pretty much migrate that system without worrying about incompatibilities about the API/calls I used...
When I bought an iphone 6, I though I was investing on a couple years phone, and bought a 128MB model. It was my 2nd iPhone after all.
Big mistake. Apple turned it slow with the infamous updates "to keep old batteries happy".
I just switched to Android, a 200 Euro/USD phone is more than enough to use and drop every couple of years.
On the bright side, I am not also giving my business to a company that only cares about fake political correctness and about using their foothold on business to promote whatever Tim Cook things about political or sexual issues instead of caring into improving technology.
It is not only being inactive. It is what you put in your mouth. It also depends on the quality of food, how many times you are eating, and also into what you are drinking. It also depends on the dietary habits of you other half.
I am about the same age. I was feeling very sick when 30 doing to weight and shed all that weight with a very aggressive diet.
Case in point, drinking only water, avoiding bread, cheese and milk, and sweets, and maybe even coffee helps your body process better the food. Also portions matter, your beef should about the size of your closed fist in size.
Returning to the quality of foods avoid frozen, processed and ready meals goes a long way too.
You can always choose to buy a 200-400 phone from the likes of Xiaomi that have only a small profit margin. Better than buying something built for a 1000% profit as Samsung or Apple.
The technology as evolved significantly both in computing power and software design for a cheaper phone to be more than enough for almost anyone.
Bloackada and Youtube Vanced for Android, Ublock origin on other platforms work pretty well keeping ads at bay, including in my Chromecast. No subscription.
I also keep my country of origin as Canada for reducing the inane quantity of garbage that my country fellows post.
I tried to use VirtualBox in my corporate Windows desktop earlier on this year.
Gave up on frustration of the multitude of bugs I encountered.
I cannot even phantom how people depend on VirtualBox to do some serious work, or how some misguided souls use it to run Linux servers.
Their interface is very well designed and they integrate quite well with Android, webOS, Chromecast and iOS...
However, working well does not suit them any better if they are only carrying two year old series and movies, at best.
And it is a shame...
It also happened with me hired as system consultant to take over a C project...because I knew C and the other guy was in holidays.
Often it pays off to keep your mouth shut.

I have 1300 connections. As soon as someone messages me spam, it is a an automatic blacklist.
As for posting the same. Post a joke, a quote for "Einstein", "Buda", "Bill Gates", or a pic of semi-naked woman, or "guess this, only for smart people"....and it is an automatic unfollow.
It works pretty well. I only see in my inbox and in my wall job adverts.

Well, Jobs had is Reality distortion field....
I am not like you Sir Tim Cook, there is no gay distortion field at my home.

Amen brother. Unfortunately, I often say it, and people do not understand....
The technology to block them is cheap too.

I wonder how he did not sue the bad maker for keeping them in the same place.

Even xiaomi has the stupid notch in the mi 8/poco f1...why such a bad move wants to be imitated kind baffles someone.
They are all bullshit. Next?
AntiX is doing a much better job of keeping SystemD at bay. i am using it on my corporate desktop.
I do not know about you, but I prefer to have a phone *outside* my country jurisdiction...
