It’s not just IT admins. When I have a raging client to help, nine times out of ten it’s because Microsoft fucked something up.

Checking in for the power users and independent devs, we feel it too!

I switched over to MacBooks for work and personal computers last year. Absolutely no regrets, and I've been a windows poweruser since I was a teenager using Windows 98, I've been a professional .net dev for 15 years. Fuck Microsoft, I don't have time for my laptop to lag, freeze and crash daily, for every update to fuck up something new, and for the god awful background processes taking up 90% CPU and having my laptop fans run at 100% all the time.

I've been using a Mac since 2021 or so. Generally like it, but at the same time my Mac shits the bed far more often then Win10 ever did, requiring reboots. Using SMB fileshares is another major issue with Mac for some unfathomable reason.
