    I’ve always thought it was to head 'em off at the pass so they won’t install un-remotely managed and un-monitored Linux distros on company equipment.

    For me it’s not working. Every day of having to use macOS drives me closer to doing this. It’s such a fucking annoying system, even after 2.5 years :-D

      My first smartphone was an iPhone back in 2011. I hated that damn thing so much and I can’t even remember the specific reasons why, but I know that I did, and that was years before they went “full Apple” so I will probably never willingly touch another one of their products for the rest of my life.

        I remember why I hated my iPhone 3g so much. Mandatory iTunes, no multitasking, horrendous notification management, terrible skeumorph design everywhere, safari as mandatory browser which most websites were not compatible with… I could go on for a while.
        I hated my iPhone so much I sold it and thought I’d never buy another smartphone again because I assumed all of them were that shitty.
        Bought a gingerbread android a while later and it was just so much better in every regard.

          I’m stuck with an iPhone for work, too. I really don’t like it. Hell, the only thing I use it for is Okta OTP, I don’t even receive text messages on it. Handy to have a thing to act as a wireless hotspot once in a while, though.
