Thanks Apple for force updating my computer in the middle of the workday! It was such a massive boost to my productivity

Boy is my face red. Been using TLDP for years, and for some reason I always thought it was an acronym for Too Long; Didn't Parse

Mac os log in screen. Just beautiful. The half-cut line of text represents the half arsed job apple did on this os

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

First thing I see when I start up Big Sur. I'm actually impressed that Apple could screw up something as simple as a label. Really gives me great confidence in the rest of their product

Garbage Mac OS doesn't show tooltips if you hover over the items in the menu bar. You just have to memorise what every single icon represents. Someimtes you can click the icon to see what app it is, but sometimes clicking the icon will do something, and you don't know what. TRASH

Classic crappy apple design. The sentient pile of poop that designed this abomination needs to get stomped.
What a piece of crap

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

Look at this garbage, the 'Magic' Mouse. The only thing magical about this hunk of junk is how, in an age where robots are flying on Mars, it still manages to take over half a minute to reconnect to my laptop

Finally, the actual file that I'm looking for, which I JUST downloaded, is all the way down past the '2017' section, in a section called 'Earlier'. Earlier than what? And more to the point, why isn't that file at the TOP of the 'Previous 7 days' section?
Mac - absolute garbage!

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

How the hell is Mac OS so broken? Multiple things that those clowns at apple can surely improve upon.
The first is simple: I'm currently in the folder 'Downloads' so when I do a search, I'd like to to search in 'Downloads' not the whole damn mac!

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

Third, look at the timestamps. It reckons that 8 Dec 2020 is within the 'Previous 7 Days'. Today is 17 Mar, which is WELL outside of 7 days from 8 Dec.
Maybe it means I've opened that file in the last 7 days? Well, then it should say so!

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

Use the Apple Magic Mouse today for the first time in a while. The only thing that was 'magic' was that I didn't want to blow out my brains after using such an uncomfortable and ugly piece of junk

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

macOS Big Sur? More like macOS Big Turd

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

It's downright disrespectful for Apple to have ever used 'C' in naming their turd of a language, Objective C. Should be called Objective F, since it is Objectively a Failure of a language. Or maybe Objective FBS - Objective F!@^&$G B!@$%^&T

Me to iPhone circa 2012: So one nice thing on Android is you can add home screen widgets

WTH is this garbage?! If I can't use the item in the Edit menu, then just remove it. Here's the kicker though: I'm not trying to use ANY of these actions, I'm trying to use the 'Paste without formatting' action, which isn't even listed here. SHIT UI courtesy of Google Docs

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

My god, the bluetooth on macbook is unstable as all hell. I only have three devices connected and it's constantly dropping them. Apple = junk hardware

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

Does Apple even test their crappy OS? The failure rate of the camera on my macbook is quickly approaching 20%. Yeah, 1 out of every 5 times I start this thing, the piece-of-crap camera fails to initialise. What's their excuse?! That they don't support this particular camera?!

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

Which Apple moron designed the VPN icon to look like a nearly-depleted battery?

[Paul's rants @paul_rants]

No longer surprised at Apple's putrid UX, this time it's xcode. You'd expect the error button to take me to the list of errors, but instead it shows me the warnings instead.
Standard apple product: useless junk not worthy of being thrown in my trash
