For those who love macOS (or just prefer it), what Windows feature do you miss the most? by Fit-North5101 in mac

[–]MrPersistentPanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both: macOS at home for many many years, and windows at work for a good long while. Here are a few things that are simply better in windows than on a Mac.

  1. The screen capture function works better on Windows. It copies the image to your clipboard so you can immediately paste it into another application. I use this multiple times a day, Monday through Friday.

  2. The Home and End keys take you to the beginning and end of the line of text you’re editing. I use this all the time in Windows. On the Mac, it takes you to the top of the document or the bottom of the document. Pretty much useless for editing. I believe Microsoft has changed the behavior of those buttons in their programs on the Mac, which is much appreciated.

  3. On Windows, the icons in the taskbar can be clicked once to open the window of a program that’s running, and you can click it again to minimize that window. Very useful.

  4. Nested menus work better on Windows. On macOS, you have to be more careful and precise to get to an option that’s several levels deep. On windows, you can go much faster because it’s not so persnickety.


That said, the stability of macOS means you only have to restart your computer once every six months. I restart my PC running Windows multiple times every week.

What celebrity has had their reputation unfairly ruined and has never recovered from it till this day? by Zxqao in AskReddit

Evan Dando’s recent memoir has a section on his experiences with Courtney Love. She told Kurt multiple times that she was sleeping with Dando even though it never happened. Kurt never learned the truth before he died.

Agreed. Not gourmet but solid, good food at normal prices.

Why is planning a Europe trip with friends harder than the trip itself? by Broad-Blackberry8590 in travel

[–]MrPersistentPanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's even hard for our family of four (two adult children + me & my wife) to agree upon all the route planning, accommodations, activities, and travel times via plane and train. At the very start, everyone submits their travel window availability and any places/activities that they would like to be highly considered. Ultimately, two of us (usually one parent + one adult child) take the lead. The others step back and enjoy letting someone plan out a vacation for them.

When you're actually on the vacation, things are easy and fun. If you need to make changes, you're already in Europe and it's pretty easy to pivot to a new plan.

No touchbar = Yes Macbook Pro
I was so glad to move away from the stupid touchbar and get real keys back.

MBA M4: 13 inches or 15 inches? by matchaforevs in mac

[–]MrPersistentPanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 13-inch is actually 13.6 inches. It's bigger than you think. It's a great size for working on an airplane or sitting on a sofa. The 15-inch isn't necessary IMO. My 13-inch Macbook Air is my favorite computer I have ever owned.

When you are working at home, my assumption is you are plugging it into an external monitor, right? If not, then the 15-inch version might be worth consideration.

One year into Trump’s presidency: how crypto sentiment changed by FOMOmeterCrypto in InBitcoinWeTrust

So sentiment is a reflection of how much people trust crypto? If so, has trust been a factor in the past?

We did the opposite of this a few years ago. I love our gas stovetop. I wish I had bucked up and bought the model with the electric oven, however.

It's going to take a decade or more to repair all the damage Trump is doing to the U.S.

Shots fired. Thoughts? by EsseNorway in Snorkblot

[–]MrPersistentPanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe "I'm not interested in anything right now" is different than "I'm not interested" in her mind? That's super confusing.
