THERE ECOSYSTEM!?!? THATS LIKE THE WORST PART!

 

dude listen i hate to be rude maybe i picked on the wrong apple fanboy :P 

 

 

My current code projects

--------------------------------

  • C#/OpenGL ( using OpenTK graphics library API ) KnightsRealm ( unfinished, WIP plan on releasing on steam maybe a mobile port idk ) 2d topdown pixel art based game with medieval themes, sorcery, dragons, open world
  • C++ crypter ( if your into cryptography, I plan on releasing this on my website later :P ) 
  • C#/OpenGL ( OpenGL for UI ) fan/light controller for my room w/ raspberry pi and some mechanical motors and stuff :D


Current repair projects

------------------------------

  • My dreadful receiver ( a capacitor blew ) 
  • working on a PC from a client, CPU died within the system, seems like a short, replaced CPU and awaiting payment before I ship it back 
  • my old 1tb sas drive for my NAS, some blemishes or something on the PCB need to clear that back out, if it doesn't work i'll need to scrap it ( already backed up all my stuff thankfully )

    If you want any software made, or stuff to be repaired give me an email!

I don't know, depends what I'm using it for. I mean, I wouldn't use a hammer on a screw, that would be the wrong tool for the job.

I like playing games, so my primary computer runs Windows 10. Because that's where all the games are.

On my laptop, I switch OS all the time. Atm my laptop runs Windows 10 Preview, but I previously ran Fedora on it. Fedora was nice.

 

If you plan on gaming on Linux, I wish you the best of luck, it's a hell of a lot better than it used to be, but it's still a pain in the ass.

 

I'm also into server stuff, and if you plan on using Windows Server for hosting your shitty little blog, then you're doing it wrong.

But if you plan on using Linux for running an Active Directory controller, then I pity you, because that would be like hitting the nail with a screw driver. Sure, you'd get there... Eventually.

I'm used to it. I rarely use them on macOS though.. I mostly use keyboard shortcuts to close stuff on Mac..

Let me clarify my point: If you set up a new server, with Windows Server 2016 on it, paying for the license, then you're not spending your money efficiently. There's abolutely no reason to choose Windows if you're setting up a new server to run a basic webpage.

Nothing wrong with setting up a webpage on a server you already have running with whatever OS it's already running.

there is right click. hold control and click. 

to close an application you use command+q on the keyboard.

why do you have to insult people? if I had my way I would never use Windows again. I just hate it.

yeah.. my workflow on my MacBook is like I always have my left hand on my keyboard so I always have access to keyboard shortcuts.

2008 is 10 years ago. a lot of things have changed since 2008. why do you base your opinion of the entirety of Apple on one product? lets not forget that in 2008 the wreck known as Windows Vista was the current version of Windows.

I didn't get it this year i got the laptop 4 1/2 years ago

 

And before i got that mac i had a windows / linux setup i switched back to that setup but by the time i wanted to sell the mac so i could get my setup back that i adored so much it was worth around 200 bucks instead of 2000

so now i have a system like this *see my profile*

 

Listen dude if you couldn't tell i was joking maybe i was being to harsh, sorry about that.

I dont use windows as my server os and secondly, I run much more than just a webpage, I run an email client, several game servers and serveral websites and its nice to have a server because I can wake up and if i'm having a bad day I could at least tell myself "hey wait a minute i have a server everythings gonna be all right" plus its inexpensive.

 

windows server is way to expensive anyways

 

@DesertWarfare nice!
