Oh wait you can't because the os blocks it. Nope. My 2014 MBP is a happy camper and use it daily at home. No blocks whatsoever. > Linux on desktop has been ready for years now, it absolutely shreds apple and microsofts offerings That's true though. Laptop power management is not there yet, but I prefer Linux over anything else for the last ~15 years or so. I use Mac laptops because I like the hardware and see where another UNIX based OS is. > Mac on the other hand is an absolute nightmare to administer for clients. Same with their phones. I think Apple phones are relatively easy to mass-manage via Apple Configurator, but MDM is a totally different story in macOS. Glad that my machines are not managed. |
Same with print from iphones. Broken, and when it breaks you get zero ways to chase whats going wrong. Meanwhile every other device on site have zero problems.
I literally spend a large portion of my days dealing with these problems for a variety of clients on a variety of sites. It's at a point with Apple where I just flat out refuse the work unless their a really special client. Atleast if I have a problem on a Microsoft device for business I can call support and get a phone back from a tech usually within 24 hours. Can't get that from apple.
Last absolute head scratcher was syncing multiple Gmail accounts with a variety of passwords and passkeys to a single iCalendar. Turns out passkeys overwrite more than one Gmails settings in ios back to just its email and nerf all the others. Hot tip for anyone doing this don't ever use passkeys for that setup if doing multiple accounts. Not sure if it was Googles end on how their passkey is set out or apples end on how it interprets it but it was a 2.5 hour nightmare.
