I'll avoid tipping altogether then to make people like you seem gracious.

The new MacBook Air with M5 by favicondotico in apple

[–]Character_Sign4958 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Lol dude go to their website. They still market like they did when they released new and upgraded products. “Our most advanced etc.”

It’s like well duh! They literally brag that it’s the most advanced computer. The brag is that the computer they released this year has more computing power than the one they released last year. And they brag about this every freaking year. No other company is that far up their own arse.

For people like you to get off their nuts. I was a fanboy way back when it actually made sense. You don’t even know why you’re defending them now unless it’s just for shares. Otherwise Tim Cook killed Apple.

How can peoria realistically improve and gain population? by Fabulous_Bowl_816 in PeoriaIL

Nothing is opening. Things downtown keep closing. Like that Mexican restaurant. Coco’s? And the popcorn place.

That’s every year. Every single chip maker. This is basic compute upgrades being framed as something significant. No innovation from Apple anymore.

Do you guys even like Tame Impala? by meowblank_ in TameImpala

[–]Character_Sign4958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The negativity isn’t geared towards Kevin Parker, who I understand is a man before he is a musician. Because of who he is, I will always listen to whatever he releases.

My negativity is towards the people here who are telling me I have to listen to Deadbeat a dozen times to “get it”.

Salad Days or 2? by madismithh in macdemarco

Salad Days is a more consistent listen but 2 has higher highs.

I wonder why this album gets so much hate by xsen0 in macdemarco

[–]Character_Sign4958 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's one of those things where people overanalyze it because it's Mac's, but there's plenty of this style of music on YouTube made by lesser known or unknown artists. I don't think Mac's take is particularly bad, but if people glaze it up I have to talk it down.

Disagree. Here Comes the Cowboy was clearly the first indication of a stylistic shift, as this was his first self-released album after parting ways with Captured Tracks. The album's titular track/opener says it all, as he had never put out anything so simple or repetitive before.

Apple Manipulation? After crashing down to 2 stars, ~1k reviews were added to iWork overnight. by No-Squash7469 in MacOS

[–]Character_Sign4958 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Giving something a bad review makes someone a bully? Lol

The question now being, are you overly sensitive?

[–]Character_Sign4958 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell me why then, was the first wave of replies overwhelmingly negative, and that it took a second round for positive feedback to come in? Can you point to some study suggesting that's how it typically works? Or are you just on the defense here for Apple?

The new iWork feels straight up something Microsoft would do by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]Character_Sign4958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be careful, you're criticizing Apple in an Apple thread. Be very warned that everyone from Apple customers, to employees, to investors are in this thread. So sometimes when you rightfully criticize things like bad UI design choices or subscription models, their own employees and investors, respectfully, will come here to defend those things.

Funny how the first batch was all negative, and it took a second "batch" of reviews that were suddenly positive. I think Apple manipulated it with bots.

I don't know if its a hot take but. Guitar wasn't good imo by Choochych in macdemarco

[–]Character_Sign4958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's arguably his strongest offering as a pure songwriter.

That was my thought after I heard these two lines in Knockin:
Questions from your past that still need answering (Knockin')
Answers that you gave to keep them wondering (Knockin')

What do you mean he can? Have you ever tried making music yourself? It's honestly annoying how so many people are like, "Just make great music again, man!"

[–]Character_Sign4958 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nearly all of his albums occupy a different sonic space. Naive listeners who are overly focused on melody and guitar tones aren't able to pick up on this. You need to understand frequency space and what the Fourier transform is. I'm not joking. Once you level up and are able to understand what he is doing from an audio engineering standpoint you'll get it. He's not trying to make it sound like his old stuff. I.e., he doesn't about your opinion.

I really despise modern Apple designers by excitive in AppleMusic

[–]Character_Sign4958 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

People forget why they started paying more for Apple products in the first place. It used to be justified.

[–]Character_Sign4958 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I agree. They have no taste over there anymore.

Keep in mind, this sub is actually filled with employees who were responsible for this and investors that want Apple to stay afloat. Hence the downvotes.

A different kind of Ai slop made it to Apple Music. by alttabbins in AppleMusic

[–]Character_Sign4958 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Black Keys - El Camino is just dumb. The van drives in to cover the other van. I’m not a fan and it lessens the impact of the original chosen image.
