Oh boy, here we go. 
 
Get ready boys, because this is going to be a long one. 
 

In a nutshell, this is a comment thread where some fanboys were defending a company that we commonly like to call "The one fruit with a bite on the side", also known as Apple Inc, against haters and some neutral folks. Now, I don't have any personal like or dislike for the company, only that I own some of their products and I generally like what they do but some of the things they've done are questionable to my eyes. 
 
Anyway, there's these that I'd like to address because they really just seem to hit a new high of utter fanboyism in my eyes. As for the top one, well, he's more of the neutral kind, wanting Apple to be treated in more or less the same with other tech companies like Google and Microsoft on the account of their weaknesses, and not be treated differently in account for their large influence. Criticism is necessary for product improvement and Apple has proven so in some degree though I'll leave you to decide if they willingly or reluctantly done so. 
 
Either way, this one caught my eye. 

Now, is Apple having a microscope on them 24/7? I don't really think so. Yes, they are being watched but there are also quite a lot of apologists out there. But that's not my issue. It's the last one. 
 
Your earlier comments were along the lines of "The facts are everywhere but you have to search for them on Google". I'm sorry dude, but the people you're defending against, the haters, aren't going to bother going to spend the 2 minutes to search up on things that go against their bias. Because that's exactly what it is, a bias. People who are extremely biased aren't going to search up for information that goes against that and would rather find information that supports it.
 
Furthermore, a comment like that isn't going to convince many because the first impression it has is "I can't be bothered to search up on facts to support my thesis but I'll just put it out there to make it look like I know what I'm talking about". Look, maybe that's not your intention and I get that. But even if the haters will disregard it as fake news, at least put some effort in putting some sources from reputable mediums in order to show that you're willing to make a case. Because the whole "There's proof out there but I'm not going to show you and you're going to have to find it yourself" is one of the most common copouts for people who don't really know what they're saying. Perhaps you are different and that's fine, but that does not give a good first impression. 
 
And another thing, "iKnockOff users". Really? Is that how we're going to judge users of other phones due to different preferences? Sure, there are the hardcore Android fanboys who are just as bad (probably worse, actually), but are we seriously going to rope in those people who couldn't care less about what platform they're on? 
 
Moving on... 
 

"100% of Androids spy on its users and why aren't you guys criticizing that?" 
 
We do. Look beyond the websites that act as Google apologists who think they can do no wrong. 
 
"Why when Samsung iPhoneys were exploding planes, homes and automobiles, Android users STILL blamed Apple for it? Saying 'oh, Apple must've paid the victims to say that'.." 
 
Oh, the Note7 fiasco? No reasonable person blamed Apple. In fact, it was the biggest tech meme of 2016 and Samsung rightfully deserved the flak it got from the news, blogs, consumers and in terms of profit. The only ones who claimed Apple did it are, once again, the hardcore Apple haters/Android fanboys. Do not rope in the regular users who couldn't care less. 
 
"I sense you're making up BS to bash Apple" 
 
Kindly re-read the first comment. Nowhere am I seeing Apple bashing, and nowhere am I seeing BS masquerading as "facts" (this is indicated by the use of the word "seemingly"). The first comment expressed concern that Apple may not be held accountable to the same degree as others like Google or Microsoft for their mistakes. There was no Apple bashing. I don't see anything wrong with that. 
 
"Look up the sources yourself. Stop being a lazy iHater" 
That's all. 
 
Also, I have to mention this. In your comment, you said "Luckily criticism makes Apple stronger". Which was exactly the point of the first comment. Criticism allows people and others to know their mistakes and when held accountable, it will need to be fixed so it doesn't happen again. 
 
Come on, people. I know Apple is mighty and powerful but couldn't we be rational and criticize them where necessary? Hell, even our resident Apple fanboys will attach sources to prove their point. 

Don't you just hate it when the OP just deletes the original post so new viewers have zero context as to what is going on?

It's shockingly expensive to serve high definition video online. Right now free or ad-supported floatplane is not on the roadmap.

The point of floatplane is to be a paid benefit
 
No ads, a separate discussion forum, discord channel, (and now an alpha site), and all content a week before release on youtube
 
You pay, to get more.

Yeah its just too much work, she doesn't need wired internet anyways. She just has a phone, a laptop, and then a smart tv. Which all have wifi

+1 for the Samsonite bag. I own a laptop shoulder bag from them that I have used for work for about 1 1/2 years now. Very high quality product.

I would say the Define R6, but unless you need all the front hard drive bays, optical drive, and watercooling space, you may be better off with the smaller and cheaper Define C or Meshify C.

I use a Samsonite Prowler:

I like it because it holds up to 17 inch, has a slot for additional tabet. I can carry my charger, 17 inch laptop, my books, GoPro, umbrella, pens, etc... As well as my thermos for coffee. It also has water resistant zippers to keep water out of your electronics. It rains on campus during the fall and spring and snows in the winter. I don't want to fry my stuff due to water. I really like it. I'm going on 2 years, and no issues with durability. The bottom is also coated to prevent water coming in when set on the floor.

I'd go with the Fractal Design Define R6. Hardware Canucks Review: 
 
 
Overrated design IMO and poor airflow with no top radiator mounting. Not a very flexible case, and most people's builds end up looking all the same in this case.

The listing is all stock photos and the description is basically a copy paste off the amazon or newegg product page.
 
He either has no idea what hes actually selling, or he's hoping someone else has no idea what hes actually selling.
 
He has 2 positive ratings from people that bought something from him (not gpus) and 8 positive ratings from people he bought stuff from. Thats it.
 
 
tl;dr
Not worth the risk

Exclusive. Nerd Sports was only released because Vessel died and they did not have Floatplane Club at the time.
 
There are actually a decent amount of vlogs that get released on Floatplane with tours of projects going on in the office, sneak peaks at new content, and general shenanigans from the LMG team. If you're interested, I suggest joining.
 
Yes, quite a lot has changed since then, if not everything.
