This thread makes me miss see through coloured plastic on electronics.

Hard to feel artistic and like an individual when everything is a piece of black plastic, metal and glass.

Yep, don't give a shit about making a statement, just finally gave them a try and realized I'd been wasting my time with half-broken computers my whole life until then, rather than the 75% broken computers I could have been using.

If someone eventually makes a non-broken computer that's in no way cool, I'll switch to that.

[EDIT] Though nb a mostly-just-works ecosystem of devices and integrations is basically table stakes for a competitor now. Just a better computer is almost useless to me, it needs to take just a couple clicks or taps (if any at all) to have it integrated with the rest of my shit. That's where the time savings and utility comes in, and fiddling-with-electronic-crap becomes computers actually doing things useful for me in my life, making paying any money at all for the damn things worth it.

"What's a computer" was less than 10 years ago.
