Stop licking Apple’s ass. Apple isn’t something important. Their ban won’t cause any problems.
It’s beyond comprehension why people keep buying Apple products. Android phones are objectively better than iPhones. Linux laptops are objectively better than MacBooks. Not to mention significantly cheaper.
Apple and its consequences on computing world…
I can not deny that it changed the smartphone industry big time but it was not for the best in my opinion. I understand Apple products appeal for some people though, they have subjectively good design for some, and are objectively very stable and easy to use for a non techie. My issues are how closed IOS is, the overall paradigm of domestication of users, being very anti repair and on average more expensive.
You say objectively but really mean subjectively.
I mean, I prefer my Framework running Linux too, but the Apple laptop still has a nicer keyboard and touchpad. I hope I never have to fix my MacBook though…
No, I really mean objectively. My Linux laptop has a matte display, which is healthier than glossy displays. It has a standard keyboard, without Command and other Apple-only nonsense. And it runs Linux, which is way better than macOS and checks all of my boxes.
Macs come with a preinstalled OS that is easy for anyone to use. It is an objectively superior user experience.
Are you fucking 12? You know other people can have different preferences from you, right?
Go paste something into terminal with that system wide keyboard shortcut. That’s why command exists.

Mac laptops are currently the best in both performance and battery life categories at least. They are also very well built and everything mostly works. That said I’d still buy a Linux one today, but I’m not your average user where Linux still has to catch up.
When it comes to accessibility and usability for the blind, Android and Linux are “objectively” worse compared to iOS and macOS/Windows.
Cool factor, for average person it just works.
If you live in the west, it’s cheap enough, especially with a contract.Android phones have objectively more spyware than Apple phones.
Seems legit. /s
We might need a widespread campaign to call it “Malus”. That would make it less appealing. “Don’t bit into Malus” with a picture of an apple with a bite in it and rotten USA colored fumes coming out.
I seriously hope this won’t be used a negotiating material. “You let us bend you over the table and stick this Malus in, in return, you should be greatful we want to do business with you”.
It isn’t.
You don’t want Trump to throw a tantrum when you go there to negotiate something mostly unrelated, so you delay the announcement.
