Kids are stupid and Skrilla is a shitty, no talent rapper. The brain rots just gets worse.

Check out https://universal-blue.org/ and their various images depending on which suits your situation more.

I'd rather skip the Apple tax altogether and choose my own hardware and choose something that actually plays nicely with all other hardware - Fedora Atomic distros. I would never pay $1600-3000 for hardware that costs less than $800.

I'm not necessarily advocating *for* Microsoft either. It's what a lot of people are stuck with because a lot of businesses have custom built software that they don't feel like spending the money to try and upgrade. But I stand by my statement that Apple is not suited for business - at least not big, corporate business. Maybe it's fine in smaller businesses.

Combination of what cusco said, and, to a lesser degree, the second half of my other reply to you.

-Upfront and repair costs
-Apple security is nowhere near as good as the average user (or seemingly the average CIO) would think it is
-Even if the Macs are easier to manage in and of themselves (they're not), they're absolutely terrible to manage in a mixed environment
-Does not play nice, if at all, with most of the rest of the hardware and software that businesses need or use

If you want a "workstation" that is easy to manage on a network, doesn't require crazy super Windows specific software, and works on any hardware the answer is Linux. Preferably, a Fedora Atomic based image customized to the employees role. Employee can choose between GNOME (if they prefer Macs) and KDE (if the prefer Windows). Easy to roll out, easy to manage, and basically impossible for the user to fuck it up in any way, and even if they somehow do it can be solved in under 10 minutes.

I'm using Bazzite, built by Universal Blue which is based off of Fedora Atomic Desktop. And yeah, you can't really install kernel-space drivers. I mean, technically, you *can*, but you'd have to custom build a new OS image in order to do so, and then update and reboot into it. And if you accidentally fucked up super hard in some way, you can just boot right back into the rollback before you did anything.

I use a version of Linux that doesn't allow any third parties into the kernel at all, for any reason. It's completely immutable. Which is even better than anything MacOS does.

First of all, that is not a front page story from today, but from a week and a half ago.

Secondly, I don't care what businesses are actually doing. if their CIOs want to be complete retards by increasing the usage of MacOS, that's on them and their companies.

And useless. MacOS is not a professional, business OS. Never has been, and never will be. If you can't, or won't, use Windows, then the only real alternative is some flavor of Linux.

No one should have that much money to begin with and only people that actually do any work for the company should have a share in said company.

I wish banks didn't do that, but I also wish there was no such thing as a for-profit bank.

Yes. But the ultra-rich don't actually do this at all. So instead of letting them do whatever they want with it (which is nothing), they shouldn't be allowed to have that much to begin with. The entire concept of professional investors, hedge funds, etc, is fucked up.

I wouldn't use any of Opera's garbage even if they paid me $19.90/mo.

I'd rather large businesses don't exist altogether, but I would accept them if they transitioned into either a non-profit or a coop. All businesses should fall under those two categories. Businesses should not be beholden to shareholders or investors who don't know dick about the business and don't actually do any work for the business.

Such an unnecessary, worthless endeavor altogether. I wish we could just make them illegal.

Because it's their job to not be victims of fraud.

The best corporate fraud to be pulled off (or almost pulled off) is mostly people in by bigger companies, and they weren't being checked by 300 investment bankers.

You can confirm *a lot* of them. Especially things like customer counts. 4 million claimed vs the 300k reality is not hard to figure out once you get a hold of the records no matter how cooked they are.
