    I hate how Apple users feel the need to call their computer by the brand. It really makes me cringe.

    It is called “a computer”

    Maybe “PC”

    “box” if you really have to flex that UNIX

    They should treat their computers less like a sports car and more like a van

      I mean, isnt that the entire point of Apple? Brand recognition and percieved status attributed to said brand. Its like rappers and gucci belts or country artists and ford pickups

        Every time someone organically refers to their computer as an Apple or Mac, an Apple marketing executive creams their pants.

      Ehhhh as an owner of five or six windows computers, four Linux machines, and a couple Apple computers, I always specify which machine I’m referring to if I’m talking about something I did/something that happened on one of them in case it could be pertinent.
