  • My problem with windows is all the telemetry bullshit really. Just let me use my damn computer in peace. Trying to force MS accounts down your throat and constant pining back to MS servers to report my every move and sell all my data while pretending not to. I legit have packet captures on my computer and even if you go in and disable it on the registry or through group policy I assure you Windows spies on your shit.

    I don’t like it, because like Experian did in the past exposing all your identity, social, addresses, credit card info, etc. Windows leaks can do the same and you’ll be fucked even while they lie and get exposed and only recieve .25 cents from a class action lawsuit and more “windows identity monitoring” service or some shit. With Linux you don’t have to worry about any of that. That said, I do use all major OS’s as theirs pros and cons with all, but if we’re talking what we hate about windows that’s definitely one.


  • IPad will never be a full replacement for a workstation and remoting is definitely more finnicky and often laggy with a ton of security risks you have to worry about than just having a laptop. Not to mention literally everything is better and more capable on the laptop. The screen is gonna suck on the iPad for work being so damn small and you don’t have anywhere near the same feature set.

    If you travel especially it’s better to have a dedicated laptop as well since you don’t have to worry about internet at all for many tasks and can actually use it on the move including planes. Everything including the actual OS is better for mobile use. Only exception is maybe drawing, but 95% of folks don’t really do that for a living. I agree with looking into a desktop machine in general if you aren’t traveling though.
