What does OS X have that Windows doesn't have?
DPI scaling that works
>>55055103
Hardware compatibility to be honest
>>55055103
Shit ACPI implementation.
Shit driver implementation
A shittier kernel.
Proper Printer support (windows fucks up older printers)
Easier to use UI.
"Cross Compatibility" with linux and BSD binaries.
>>55055116
Fucking this.
>>55055103
A hipster fanbase
>>55055174
Nope windows has that too.
>>55055103
The ability to reopen windows from last session when shutting down
Native fucking pdf/AI/Mp3/aac support
Native gif support
Native great browser which shits on firefox and IE. Chrome is still needed sometimes tho
Native CoreAudio
Native everything support because you don't need bloatware to actual use it

Yup. Apple own the hardware too so itll never get better.

I don't know what kind of shit you're smoking that makes you think Safari is better than Internet Explorer, but Safari is the worst browser on the market, hands down. There's literally a thread on g right now asking how to get webm to work properly
>>55056738
Windows has bash now
>>55056745
Windows has right clicking too
>>55055134
>A shittier kernel.
How's it shit, buddy boy?
>>55056796
And IE can do WEBM?
UI that isn't garbage
The only thing that came close was a few custom Win7 skins, I switched to OS X when Win8 was released, their design style is shit and it always has been.
>>55056796
>There's literally a thread on g right now asking how to get webm to work properly
So it's the worst browser on the market because it doesn't support a meme container?
>>55056731
How is this OSX's fault?
>>55056804
it aint even close fâm
>>55056731
Oh my god you are such a retard.
>>55056911
Well, actually, it's the worst browser on the market due to its history of hilariously easy security breaches. It's the least secure browser you can use, and that's including IE, think about that for a minute. It's less secure than a browser that uses ActiveX. It's even less secure than Edge, which is a fledgling browser (3 vulnerabilities for Safari vs. 2 for Edge at pwn2own 2016).
>>55056925
it's not the network that is preventing me to share it.
I can share it if I'm using windows or linux.
OS X won't let me share my connection while I'm authenticated via 802.1x, so the only way I can create a wifi hotspot is either to use windows or connect to a vpn and share that connection (which is a pain in the ass because using a vpn prevents me from using a lot of things)
>>55056966
fuck off
>>55056985
No, I want you to know just how retarded you are. This nigga thinks 802.1x is Apple's fault.
>>55056996
802.1x on windows doesn't stop you from sharing the connection
>>55057002
It should because that would defeat the purposes of 802.1x.
>>55055103
Disgusting Hublot
>>55057028
I live on campus and they use 802.1x. I asked, there is no policy against creating your own hotspot.
In previous OS X versions sharing wasn't blocked.
>>55055174
I'm convinced that most people use hipster incorrectly, and identify the wrong people as hipsters.
nowadays, you cant identify hipsters by identity, because true evolved hipsters don't adhere to the identity game
>>55056973
I'm willing to admit that while safari si a very easy to use browser, and pretty much does everything I need it to do, it is indeed a shit browser.

What errors? Safari is one of the more stable browsers for me.
>no webm support
In reality that only matters on 4chan, but it would be nice to have.
>plugins only work halfway
Plugins work halfway? All my plugins work fully.
>>55055103
Apparently in last few years, it got way more buggy. Even their fans started to complain. OS that needs daily restarts is shit and OS/X has arrived there.

that's the only one I can think of right now, but that's mainly because it happens so often, I rage
>plugins
for some reason, my adblock absolutely refuses to block most ads. I use the same plugin on chrome and it blocks everything, but in safari, I'm better off just not having it.
>>55057086
I'd use Safari since it's the best optimised browser on OS X, but incognito windows don't support local storage, which can be a bit of a pain in the ass
>>55055103
A good search
Have you tried Windows search compared to universal search on Apple?
Also the Automator on OS X is based
>>55057190
>that's the only one I can think of right now, but that's mainly because it happens so often, I rage
I've never seen that. Have you tried a clean install?
>for some reason, my adblock absolutely refuses to block most ads.
Also weird. The only known problem is YouTube preroll ads but my adblock works on them 99% of the time.
I would reinstall OS X.
>>55057255
>Also the Automator on OS X is based
How do you use this?
Why are desktop macs so fucking garbage? Mac mini, iMac, Mac Pro, overpriced and worthless compared to the Macbook
>>55057294
Mac Mini isn't bad, the iMac is kind of hard to judge.
Mac Pro isn't worthless at all, but it is overpriced because of how outdated it is.

Oh and I can't reopen windows automatically when restarting- what gives?

Hardware compatibility?
You are talking about an OS that is designed for a select number of platforms, versus one that is to be used on any PC you desire...
Especially online, do we get reminded of how doomed we are as a species.

>>55057268
Creatively. You just create your own scripts that can virtually do anything
All of this.
Plus free software updates (that are not pushed down users throats), font rendering that doesn't make my eyes bleed
The only thing that surprised me about OS X is that they didnt decide to just copy re-brand Windows at this point.
>>55059165
Windows Media player handled mp3 since at least when Windows 98 was still supported, and GIF since when 95 was still supported. Even then GIF could always be viewed in IE.
PDF support came in like IE6, Windows 8+ uses Windows Reader and Win 10 is using Edge for pdf by default.
Windows opens to the previous session if you switch users, suspend/resume, or lock. Not on a full restart (does any OS retain the session on a restart? My Xubuntu and BC Chrome OS doesn't either)
>>55064039
>using a browser to read pdf or a gif stores on your pc
Kek, Windows user think this is actually ok
And yes, you can restore session after a full restart on os x
A consistent interface
/thread
>>55064402
Uh, why would it not be "okay"?
It's functionally no different than the alternative, which would be to have a separate app to open the file formats.
A native application opens the file. Why does it matter if it's IE instead of some hypothetical 'MS GIF Viewer' or 'MS PDF Reader'?
It's actually better from a design standpoint to use a consistent interface for everything.
>>55064856
No, it's native, you don't need to open an application to view images, gifs, pdfs and a whole bunch of other files

Garageband
Xcode
Final Cut which is so FAST that you can edit 4k on a core m macbook.
DPI Scaling that actually works
Terminal packages, albeit you need to install the homebrew package manager but it's easy.
Much better virtual desktop navigation and management.
A consistent look between most applications
Better font rendering and scaling
Better file manager
Better version of iTunes
Better gestures for trackpads
>>55066591
>Better file manager
Explorer is the best file manager on the market.
Finder is cucked as hell. You literally need to pay for alternate file managers to have basic functionalities which are available in Windows since XP.
>>55066684
Such as?
>>55066684
Windurrs user here.
Explorer still doesn't have tabs. You can't sort folders by size. Dragging a file to a folder in details view it's hard to find white space.

>>55064039
It's clear you're a gaymer but people with actual work and lives have to often annotate pictures and pdfs. Have fun annotating in IE you dumb neckbeard.
>>55055103
Also forgot spaces, swiping gestures, 60fps animations, and pleasant typefaces which are actually paid for unlike microshit inventing their own just because they don't wanna pay the artist.
>>55055174
Except for the fact that Apple devices are extremely mainstream. Hipsters use desktop linux.
i tried one of the signature model windows laptops...touchpad drivers were so shit...
>>55067931
MS and the hardware vendors will never recreate an Apple touchpad. You could go back over ten years ago to Powerbook-era touchpads and the Powerbook's touchpads would still beat modern Windows touchpads (barely, but still). How some people use Windows trackpads is mind-boggling.
Inb4 use a mouse. That defeats the purpose of a laptop.
>>55067897
/g/ is made up of hipsters. ask them when apple was good and they'll say pre-2000 (i.e. before they hit mainstream appeal). ask about the thinkpad, and they'll say when lenovo bought them and went mainstream as well.
basically /g/ thinks everything was better before it became popular. is there anything else that defines a hipster? oh, needlessly taking more complicated, obnoxious options to do the same exact thing - like installing gentoo.
>>55067972
apple touchpads are unmatched.
but something as simple as non jumpy behavior should be a bare minimum, and they couldn't even get that right on their signature model...
the ubuntu drivers seems fine, sans some gestures (windows only had 1 or 2 gestures anyway).
>>55067972
>How some people use Windows trackpads is mind-boggling.
honestly my bet is that these people have never used a macbook trackpad. a lot of kids have used iMacs at school but those don't have trackpads usually.
>>55067972

Only the Chromebooks come close to the trackpad quality of Apple's macbook.

You might not have owned a multitouch touchpad laptop. Windows 8+ has upped the game. Three fingers gestures are pretty common. Also there are many hardware vendors like synaptics which allow you to specify your own gestures.
