Indeed but equally this is something I dislike about Macs - on Windows this software would still work just fine.

Motorola literally sells an Android phone for £200 with 5G. I just don't buy it.

To be fair I've maintained for a while now that the reason Apple uses lightning on the phones is because it's quite frankly much more durable than USB-C.

I think it depends on what your living situation is like as well.

Because I live reasonably far out into the suburbs, my home office is a completely separate room, so it's fairly easy to just totally forget it exists when I stop work.

Indeed and it's this utter nonsense that made me finally give in and switch to Windows. Turns out it's nicer than I thought.

Indeed. I'm honestly surprised to read of such poor experiences here because I've honestly found that Windows 10 has given me a lot less grief than macOS has recently.

Indeed - I was a pretty heavy Mac user for years but I genuinely find that Windows gives me less grief lately.

To be fair I have a DSLR that quite clearly takes much, much better photos than my iPhone Xs Max takes (despite what Apple's marketing would have you believe), but in reality I just don't bother with the DSLR anymore, because whilst the iPhone clearly isn't as good, it's still easily good enough, and it's a hell of a lot more portable.

I imagine many others feel the same way.

To be honest it never really bothered me once I realised that a lot of iPad apps let me rebind the caps lock key to work as escape. I'd just love for them to make that option available globally like it is on the Mac.

I'm using browns with O rings at work. Feel great and are no louder than anyone else's keyboard.

Why not Semantic-ui-react? Surprised it isn't getting more of a mention here, using it at my company and it's been fantastic.

This is a big part of it for me. I love Logic Pro / Cubase / Ableton, and having access to those is pretty important.

Admittedly part of the reason I prefer macOS to Windows is that I find pro audio software tends to get more love on macOS.

I totally get that. In all honesty, in a rational world a MacBook is more than enough performance for me (and it's actually what I use at work), but there's still very much an enthusiast alive in me that loves my over the top desktop.

A few years ago I was considering open sourcing a small app I had developed a few years ago. Turns out it'd actually require a lot of work to remove dependencies on other libraries I'd used.
