    I see a whole lot of opinions and no actual evidence that they are being
    on anything.
     
    Ok, so what? Those applications are not available on other platforms, so that is a complete non sequitur. You can argue there are good alternatives but whether they are equally good or not is entirely your opinion. The trackpad itself isn't a software feature but the gestures are. It's one thing to have hardware that recognized multiple touches, it's another to properly map functionality to the different gestures. Windows 10's search bar is so bad it's actually ridiculous. I had to install a third party launcher to avoid insanity. But again, this is mostly a matter of opinion. So... they're right, except in your opinion it's not awful. That is not their point, they're talking about bootcamp which is a software feature for convenient dual booting. Windows offers nothing of the sort, even with different versions of Windows or Linux. So you have no clue what you're talking about but you still felt you could call LMG out for being misinformative over it. Cool. Apple makes XCode. Think of it like Visual Studio, except it's completely free if you run macOS. They also make the other software Linus mentioned. It's definitely a selling point of the operating system. Granted, this is a feature of their devices, not of their operating system. Still not misguided or misinformative because it's true, but I'll give you that it's not exactly a selling point for macOS specifically. Again, pure opinion. He literally addressed the inevitable hardware reliability concerns in the first sentence of this point and at the end of the video; did you even watch it? Yes, the hardware isn't particularly reliable, but the software generally is (with some asterisks but still, better than WIndows), which is what they were talking about. tl;dr I think you're just triggered that Apple is getting any praise on LTT and are grasping at straws to find problems in the video. And this is coming from someone who absolutely loathes almost everything Apple does.
     
    I could sit here for hours explaining why I don't believe their points justify the purchase of an Apple product but that's beside the point - virtually everything they said is verifiably true and most of it is on topic. Your argument is invalid.

    Wow, nice rant there my friend.
    You realize the whole video was user submitted reasons, not necessarily the opinions of the LMG crew?
    The idea was to explain why MacOS might be better, from the top 10 user submitted reasons... So let's not blame the LMG crew as some kind of apple sellout (let's be real, they only do that for Nvidia ?)
     
    To go on a few of your points - I won't go through them all...
    For the organization of desktops, you're not wrong technically, but you do see how it's not necessarily intuitive on windows? The idea is Mac makes it useful and easy, so your average Joe can do it.
     
    For not being able to run Mac in windows, I find this perfectly legitimate. As a Linux user who begrudgingly uses windows when needed, the ability to run my preferred system is Paramount. If my preferred system was MacOS - whether because it's what I'm used to or what I do all my work in - having that fallback is not to be overlooked.
     
    For your final point about backups, this is huge. The argument not to worry about it "unless your hardware is going to fail" is absurd. I can't name a single person I know of who has built something thinking that they'd like it to fail. But these things do happen - that's why there's a whole industry around data recovery. So the ability to make backups flawless, simple and easy enough for the average Joe to use is amazing, and has definitely saved many, many headaches.

    It's really disappointing that there's so much of a cult around Windows that the little kids disliking the video and making stupid comments can't even comprehend that Apple and Mac has benefits.

    T271 reacted to JuicyMullet in Asus GPU Fan Service Ex.exe not working   
    Hey everyone, I just completed my first build and everything is going great, except I'm getting an error with my Asus 1080 TI. Every time I open the GPU tweak software and try to change the fans to silent mode or gaming mode, I get an error that states "ASUSGPUFanServiceEx.exe has stopped working." The fans are randomly speeding up and slowing down every few seconds. I've updated to the latest version of Windows 10, and all my drivers are good. Google has offered no help so far. Could someone point me in the right direction please? If this has already been answered, I apologize.

    T271 got a reaction from EChondo in dumb ways you thought PCs worked   
    When I had my first PC I never really thought about how it worked, but assumed it was something like a car engine. Thought that it pulled air in, did something mechanical with it, and blew exhaust out the other end. This was when we had the first computer in my house though, so when I was about seven.

    Drain your battery and perform a factory rest ( you will lose all your apps/settings/and stuff) so make sure to make a backup before performing a reset.
    A factory reset usually solves this problem.
