Mac user here. This is one of the worst fucking parts of this god damned OS.
Same shit over the last four OSX versions, countless reinstalls and two completely different machines.
No matter what the fuck I select, programs won't just auto launch, worse than windows because they disobey the list of startup programs and do whatever the fuck they want, but any program I had running five fucking minutes before a shutdown will reload.
Closing your programs before a restart is utterly pointless. The only option I've found is saving all my work and sessions, then hitting shift control option power.
>>

That's only for explorer windows, friend.

>>55006985
What the fuck? Never was my experience this bad with 2 completely different hackintosh PCs. One had a Phenom 2 and ran Mavericks, and the other has an i5. Never felt the need to reinstall, only the AMD machine crashed, twice, when I was fiddling with kexts (first hackintosh). Intel machine so far zero problems.

Maybe you're just retarded?

just a tip in case you don't know, pressing that instantly crashes your mac.

Which is precisely why I fucking press it.
Blanking the PRAM is a small price to pay.
If I wanted shit to launch I'd put it in fucking start up. My start up's god damn empty.

used thinkpads for the first 22 years of my life. the rMBP had been announced a little earlier in the year and my T510 died while I was backpacking around in south america, so when i got back i got the 2012 rMBP. part of me wishes i had tried it earlier, but admittedly one of the key features that i enjoy now is the high pixel density scaling, so i might not have been that enthusiastic about a MBA or old MBP.

still, i wouldn't go back now.

this is true of most things. do you honestly think most thinkpad owners are using their machines in any serious capacity? just sampling from /g/ it's clear that most of the consumers are buying it because it reminds them of the rugged lifestyle they would totally definitely for sure lead if they weren't agoraphobic obese autists.

The Early 2015 rMBPs were the worst refresh ever. The old trackpad was far better and the processors are usually worse then the old ones as well. But they still raised the prices almost everywhere. Weird shit.

Most people who buy ThinkPads buy them or have them assigned to them are business oriented individuals. A very small fraction of the people purchasing ThinkPads is /g/. Unlike with Macs, where the minority of people who buy them use them for facebook and twitter. You can't deny this.

>>55009562
i have a 2012 rMBP and a 2015 rMBP and honestly the force trackpad is much better. before there were areas (namely the top section) that wouldn't satisfyingly click when you tapped it. it was one of the few drawbacks of what was otherwise an excellent (and even with that caveat still *the best*) trackpad on a laptop.

maybe you need to give it a chance, or tweak some settings, or something, but the trackpad has gotten better. I can't speak for the new keyboards in the macbooks, but reviews seem to suggest that you get used to it. but that seems like a very convenient lie a fan would say to convince you to drink the proverbial kool-aid.
>>
>>55009555
>star bucks
>real coffee
No.
>>
>>55009562
I've never once in the year I've had the 2015 rMBP had an unresponsive or misfiring trackpad. Coming from hp and Lenovo trash it's like a gift from god. I would almost call it perfect because I can't think of any way I'd want to improve it. Force touch is actually very useful as well.

I really only ever tried it in store and it felt weird to me. Having something under my fingers that actually moved feels better to me. Also, the top edge problem just never occurred to me, as I never tried that. Still, maybe I should give it another try.
>>
>>55009562
New trackpad is just as good as the old, if not better because you can customize firmness and resistance is the same across the whole area.
If anything the next rMPB will be the worst refresh ever with that fucking rMB keyboard
>>
>>55009692
Not who you're responding to but went from a late 2013 model to the current 2015 one.
New trackpad is way better. Apart from what anon said, you can tweak the stiffness of it in settings to make it feel more natural
>>
>>55009584
i think you're clinging to the old IBM notion of the thinkpad to, bizarrely, justify owning a thinkpad as more credible on the basis that *other people* might be using the same model for legitimate reasons.

there are enough people using MBPs for real work, and enough people using Thinkpads for real work, that any claim that one is just good for facebook and twitter is either your own baggage or horse shit.

use whichever laptop you like. if you're honestly worried about appearances for using a MBP (because you perceive it to only be the sort of machine that's capable of facebook and twitter), then
1) you're completely misguided, and
2) you need to get over this superficial nonsense. you're an adult. act like one.

I'm not a fan of the new keyboard either, but everyone I know who uses it has said they adjust to it and end up liking it a lot. The upcoming refresh is going to have an even bigger trackpad though, most likely with fingerprint scanning and some speculate that the Apple pencil can be used on it. I wouldn't be so quick to call it the worst just yet.
>>
>>55009692
i think it was a little weird to me as well, but my memory of the initial use is a little fuzzy. now when i drop back to the 2012 model the trackpad actually annoys me because the top part won't give me a physical click feeling. it's not a big deal by any means, but it's a net (if marginal) improvement.
>>
>>55009768
Did you not read my posts? I never said that's all they're good for. I was implying that since their major demographic uses their machines for facebook and twitter, hence giving them a reputation of being facebook machines.

Also, who said anything about appearances? And why am I not surprised that a Macfag is worried about appearance?
>>
can't imagine living without handy dandy force touch at this point
>>
>>55009845
you seem nothing short of obsessed with the reputation of brands, which would only matter if you cared about appearances.

calling something a "facebook machine" fairly strongly implies that that's its primary function. that's only true if that's how you direct it. this is the same with basically every generalized tool. you wouldn't call out a model of car just because you saw people driving it to the mall quite often.

how do you justify taking such a stupidly one-sided position and then backtracking like this?
>>
>>55009865
i like the force trackpad too but you could enable that with a three-finger click if you wanted with the older trackpad.

i agree that the force click is much more intuitive, but it's not like you never had this available by gesture/touch (to say nothing of right/option-clicking).
>>
>>55009884
>reputation of brands, which would only matter if you cared about appearances
Reputation=/=appearance. I didn't buy a Windows phone because it looked like shit. I didn't buy one because it was a WINDOWS phone. Microsoft's reputation is what prevented me from buying the phone, not the phone's appearance. Try harder next time.

According to most of the people who actually use Macs, yes, it is a facebook machine.

How is it one-sided, and how am I backtracking?

Now take the percentage of those PCs, and take all the Windows PCs and Macs. Now compare the amount of people using the machine purely for social media. You'll see that most of the people buying Macs are using social media entirely. And since there are more people on Windows PCs, there are obviously going to be more people doing work and/or social media. But the Windows PCs are half as expensive as the Macs. So those Mac users are both retarded and hungry for some twitter/facebook interaction.

Is there a way to change copy and paste to ctrl + c/v instead of cmd? What the fuck does ctrl do on macbooks anyways? Why does my scroll wheel only scroll 1 line at a time when I scroll slowly and like 100 when I scroll it fast? It's just so ass backwards. Why?

Force touch is pretty convincing. I have to say the butterfly keyboard, despite the extremely limited travel on the MacBook, and force touch track pad have exceptional feedback.
