Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft Edge had simply taken over where I’d left off in Chrome. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

    Actually, I had this exact issue a year ago, had a rage fit, and bought a Mac. I hate Apple, but this was going way too far

        Maybe you’ll regret it when your MacBook dies and you can’t fix it.

        I switched to Linux instead.

              Exactly! Apple is just a different type of abuser. This is like saying “My previous spouse was very abusive. So I chose to marry another abusive person”.

        Except a PC from 2008 can still run the latest windows 10 version without any real issues (an i7 940 from that time is roughly equivalent in perfomance to a brand new Celeron g5900) while a Mac from 2008 became e-waste years ago when Apple discontinued MacOS and workarounds become harder and harder with each yearly os update. And too many Mac developers target the latest MacOS versions so if you don’t update you can’t run latest apps.

        “But you can run Linux on a Mac” yeah thanks to the proprietary shit, if I run Debian on my old iMac I get only a black screen (other distros are running ok though, not all of them are without issues)
