I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.

It is called "a computer"

Maybe "PC"

"box" if you really have to flex that UNIX

They should treat their computers less like a sports car and more like a van

I mean, isnt that the entire point of Apple? Brand recognition and percieved status attributed to said brand. Its like rappers and gucci belts or country artists and ford pickups

Branding and marketing is just building a cult these days.

yes the point of apple prodcuts is to waste money and shove it at everyone's faces

yeah I sat there for a few seconds trying to figure out the relevance

turns out, it wasn't relevant

instant loss of attention and judging of their character

Ehhhh as an owner of five or six windows computers, four Linux machines, and a couple Apple computers, I always specify which machine I’m referring to if I’m talking about something I did/something that happened on one of them in case it could be pertinent.
