I'm not a Mac expert, but every time I start that thing, it opens two windows I didn't ask it to open. I looked for 5 minutes how to disable these things, didn't find anything and couldn't be arsed to waste more time looking for a solution. It was just not user friendly enough to do these things. In Windows it will ask you what you want to do when you plug in this device (open photos, open the Explorer or do nothing)
On Windows that network storage is just there in the Explorer, no need to know the path, no need to know whatever smb is JUST WERKS
so yes that is a valid criticism

well i'm sure you can at least disable that in autostart settings

As I said, i tried for a few minutes and I'm not exactly a retard (I hope)
Even if you can disable it (I'm sure you can) it's not "simple", "user friendly" and "just works". It's overcomplicated to do anything Apple didn't consider ideal for their users. I'm not saying the approach to ask the user about everything and anything is any better, but i find windows to hit the mark better than Apple

that's it? what kind of faggot even likes girls

I just open Finder and click on one of my servers under "network" in the sidebar. One of my Windows machines also shows up there even though I haven't configured it to - so it's not like you have to do anything special.

>having friends
Geht of my 4chins, poser

Yeah i tried that, didn't work.
It showed the folder containing my folder, but not my folder itself.

Your shitpost wasnt good tier either.

>In Windows it will ask you what you want to do when you plug in this device (open photos, open the Explorer or do nothing)

More like: You plug in a device, it doesn't do anything. It doesn't recognize it so you unplug then plug back in, oh it recognizes it now, but failed to install a driver for some reason (why was it installing a driver, I've used this device on this PC before, what's new?). Oh, because it couldn't install the driver for this device, I can't access the data on it, despite explorer seeing it and identifying it correctly. Ok, unplug, plug back in. Does nothing. Try another port. Oh, this port is USB 2.0 because the PC manf is cheap and only has 2 USB3.0 ports. Put it back in the USB3.0 port. Got an error about the files being incorrect or something equally as ambiguous and it should "scan and fix". Run scan and fix, it tries to install driver again, oh wait the driver failed. But what driver?

Plug into Mac. Open up Finder. There it is.

You're and idiot dude

What's displayed in the sidebar are servers, not folders. The "network" folder in Windows Explorer works exactly the same way. It doesn't care if you're only sharing one folder, because it's designed to allow for more than one.

>fdesetup authrestart
This thing allows you to reboot a computer even if you do not know FDE passphrase. It is nice feature for remote admin, but the most interesting thing here is that it allows you to encrypt your computer with a passphrase known only by a trusted third party and not you.

...

>Want to access network storage, need to know full path and add smb: to the beginning, because why not.

You don't need to enter "smb://" anymore; the Finder defaults to SMB for network shares. Just start with the domain name or IP address.

Also, learn what a URL is. Just because something isn't done in a way identical to Windows doesn't make it bad.

Dude I navigated with the terminal to the superfolder in the network and it didn't contain my folder. We have Linux and Windows machines and on both of these it works flawlessly. Only Mac OS needs to be special (and shit)

I know what an URL is and I even knew the path, it's just utterly bad user experience

This is a stupid default setting that is an easy fix, but in a location nobody looks at any more.

Open the Image Capture application in your Applications folder. Select your iPhone, and change the drop down menu in the corner to 'No application' to prevent it auto-launching anything.

It's actually perfect. I wasn't expecting much, but for a "shitty" ~$300 laptop this thing really has some fight left in it

Serious post how do I work MacOs?

I got a cheap refurbished laptop and while the machine itself is fucking spotless and has the best keyboard I have ever used on a laptop I have no idea what the fuck is happening.

Everything is .dmg or .sit or if its a game .dsk and then shit runs and unpacks it for you sometimes (not always) and then it says "not compatible with this version of MacOs" and gives you that stupid two men kissing smile like :^) like a fuckin asshole.

I thought this was the plebs OS.

OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS IM TARGET NOW where are the squares...

As mac users with buyers remorse say, think different. Or in other words, stop wanting basic features and settle for the crap you have.

>you didn't need to stare at the menu bar all day anyways :^)

Mac OS used to be all those things and more. Nowadays it's just bloated snob shit.

I honestly believe there are apple users that legitimately don't know that Google voice receives your calls/texts on PC since 2008

I honestly believe it

you can turn off automatically opening iphoto on the screen that pops up when you connect it. It's not even in a menu or something, just right there.

you don't need to know the full path, just enter the ip and it will present you with the different shares.
or if you click on the computer on the side bar of finder it works exactly like how it does on linux or windows

ftp thing is retarded though. Not even sure why they didn't just bake the gimped client into safari (like on FF) instead of taking you to finder where you'd expect it to be a full ftp client.
Filezilla works great though.

this is also changeable from Photos nowadays.

I used hackintosh for a while. But I felt fairly limited.

For one, of course I couldn't enjoy games but that was the least of my troubles.

Problem is, Chrome/Firefox be slower, so I'd have to use Safari for a "decent" experience. Music wise I wouldn't have Foobar, I guess Cog would do for my unorganized music but that shit would hang with big lists.

Keyboard shortcuts were a bit of a pain with a normal keyboard. On adobe tools those change as well.

Couldn't get used to have to use some commercial solution for NTFS because the official method sucks dick.

Same with blocking connections.

Honestly the only thing I liked was the looks and that, while not being Windows, it was still handling some "non light" desktop environment without trouble. I shit you not, gnome and kde work terrible on my machine.

>games
There's a shitton on steam and wine runs most fairly well

Found your fucking problem. Seriously tho that's a load of horseshit. I use opera which is basically a chrome skin without any problems on a 10.11 T420

Yeah that sucks dick more than Tim Cuck. I tried to like itunes to no avail, using Cog atm but it's nothing to write home about either
>kboard shortcuts
Are you retarded? It can't take more than a week to get used to using cmd instead of ctrl. And if you are talking about layout just swap the win and alt keys and remap them in settings

Another one that's actually true, though I personally don't have much problem with the 'official' way. And since I need to use a wangblows vm anyway I just use that most of the time.
>blocking connections
not sure what you mean here, but editing /etc/hosts works bretty well

Yeah it is quite pretty and runs suprisingly well on hackintoshes. I was quite surprised too, even though my T420 handles gnome, kde and even Unity just fine.
>inb4 ishill
fuck off, I'm using hackintoshed T420 in college and providing anecdotal 'evidence' that it werks

You cometely missed my point and proves another.
Sure I could have Googled the problem, used the first fix and be done. But instead I tried without resorting to that and test the claim Apple and their fans keep making, that the OS is easy to use and just works. Googling for every tiny problem automatically fails these claims imo. And I couldn't do it easily. It wasn't easy enough to use to do it without having to resort to the Internet and be faced with people like you, who are so self absorbed and blind to call everyone pointing out how not-so-easy-to-use macos is a pleb, idiot, stupid etc.
Windows or Linux fans don't claim that their OSs are simple or just work. They acknowledge that some problems exist, while for the cast majority of the time, their systems work flawlessly. Only Apple people claim such bold statements while often enough having the worst solution for given problems. Pointing this out means being insulted. That's why you are being despised.

>if you click on the computer on the side bar of finder it works exactly like how it does on linux or windows
No it fucking doesn't. I could sit down at any of the companies Windows or Linux machines, log in with my credentials and have direct access to my personal folder.
The only system this doesn't just work is Apple, I've tried with the terminal and finder. Only a colleague of mine who is quite fond of Apple could help me and show me on his Mac (which - I shit you not - crashed once and froze 5 times while doing so). He told me to type smb in there, so I figured I had to do so.
Doesn't even matter, the user experience was already much worse than on any other OS

Don't even try to use a Chromebook as some sort of argument against a MAC or PC. That's just got to be the most retardifaggiest thing one could ever post.

Mac OS died for me with version 10.6.8, after which it ceased to be Mac OS and started becoming iOS for desktop. I still use it, but I'm not as attached to it as I was in 2004-2011. I might even consider ditching Mac OS entirely unless Apple can get some fucking half decent new hardware on scene.

Oh no I can't view an obscure Google format used exclusively by a shitty troll site. Safari is shit!

The point hes making is that macOS is meant to be for simpletons, so when approaching it with a simple strategy doesnt work, it kind of shows there's a problem with apple's marketing strategy.

On Windows, most users (even casual) could figure out deleting files in order to clear storage space. They wouldnt need tech support, which is how macOS should be designed to function.

that's NOT the fucking point. beyond certain issues appletards are expected to bring it to the genius homo bar -- that's fucking expected, but this idiot who CLAIMS TO BE A TECH can't even do the simplest damn thing a tech is expected to do, yet he blames the machine instead of his own ineptitude. This is the #1 problem with fucking "Gayman Power Users" who criticize OSX, they think that just because it doesn't work like they're used to that it's somehow broken.

I heard OSX got cutting and pasting the other year, do they already have direct deleting of files yet? Like shift-delete?

You didn't hear any of that shit because it's made up.

If you have to google how to use something, then it's poorly designed.

I figured out how to use slackware simpy by using slackware.

If you can't learn how to use an os simply by tinkering around, then it's probably a poorly designed os.
