OtisMcWonderful (01/10/2016) [-] There are players that also support that on Windows and Linux. BakaMPlayer has mouse gestures, which gives it trackpad gestures by default, for example. I do prefer a keyboard for this kind of thing. I'm much faster with it. The snipping tool isn't perfect, but it's still decent. Freeform selection is neat. I do prefer to just alt+prtscn when I need a specific window captured though. I've noticed that a lot of people don't know that, so maybe you learned something here too. No more cropping to the window you want. I haven't had that issue with OBS myself. It works as it should once you figure it out. Standalone programs are usually relegated to small tools like GPU-Z, Speccy, etc. So it isn't extremely common. A lot of pirated games also work the same way though. Just extract it and play. And yeah, iTunes on Windows is pretty decent. It's what I've used for years, though I guess that's mostly just due to habit since it's been so long. I wouldn't have any issues switching, but I haven't had a reason to switch yet. | ||

| Nice. This is way better than the "you just don't know" bullshit you were spouting earlier. Thank you for finally giving real reasons. Seriously. Hardware The aluminum is a double edged sword. Sure, it looks nice and all, but like I said, a dent or bend is permanent. Scratches are also more visible on aluminum as opposed to plastic. The weight and battery life can be had in other products, so that's nothing too amazing. I'm the same with the trackpad on my Chromebook. I actually prefer to use the trackpad on it versus carrying a mouse. My other laptop isn't so great with that, but it is comparable to others from its time. I feel like mine could also easily handle being thrown into a bag without worry. The Toshiba has had abuse for years, though the Chromebook is still fairly new. Software Frame by frame scrolling is supported by any player worth using. Nothing amazing. The clipping tool has been part of Windows since Vista, and setting up a hotkey for whatever screenshot/window grab tool you prefer for Linux is trivial. I'll give you the screen recording thing, though I don't really think it's very important at all. Also, free programs like OBS do it just fine anyway. There are a fair amount of tools that are available as standalone exes, eliminating the need to install. Just drop it where you need it and run. Installers are simply a relic of the past for compatibility reasons. Windows, if you didn't know, is very popular for enterprise use, so it needs to maintain that share of the market by supporting their older programs. iTunes will automatically and wirelessly sync to iDevices on Windows. It's done that for years. >no viruses assuming you mean malware in general, as most people do That's a lie and you know it. I guess boonana, flashback, hackback, lamadai, cointhief, appetite, and many others mean absolutely nothing to you. There's also the fact that OSX doesn't hold a large enough market share to really make them worth it to begin with. You're better off targeting Windows if you want to really spread. GRAPHIC EQUALIZATION AND GLOBAL EQU I don't know what's up with yours, but I'm able to equalize audio system-wide with my default Realtek drivers if I so choose. However, I choose not to play audio from shit sources instead of polishing bad audio with an equalizer. Again, this is so much better. Try to start with something like this next time instead of just telling people they need to buy a product they have no interest in. I understand that it's a bit much, so a tl;dr version of something like this would be great. I can't agree with some things about Software Frame by frame scrolling is supported by any player worth using. Nothing amazing. -Except you do it with the trackpad using gestures, pinching, two finger scrolling. I can find a single frame i want in a video 10 times faster than windows with mouse. As well as it feels very fast and natural. You'll have to trust my review of its performance. The clipping tool has been part of Windows since Vista, -Exept on mac you press the key, click and drag, and its saved to the desktop with a name. Do it on windows and you find the snipping tool, click new snip, click and drag, save the image, specify the directory, name it, and then it's finally done. its slower. I'll give you the screen recording thing, though I don't really think it's very important at all. Also, free programs like OBS do it just fine anyway. -i can't get OBS to record my windows screen without chopping off the side, i've been through forums and fixes and gave up after an hour. The right side gets loped off. There are a fair amount of tools that are available as standalone exes, eliminating the need to install. Just drop it where you need it and run.

| See, the thing is, I don't hate Macs. It's an inanimate object. Whatever. My problem is with the sack of shit company that sells them as premium products when they're mediocre in reality. My other problem, though to a far lower degree, is with people that lap it up because muh brand recognition and status symbols. How about you tell me what Mac is about? You've stated that plenty of times without elaborating on what exactly that's supposed to mean. Is it about having the Apple tramp stamp on your laptop lid or on the back of your phone? Is it about overpaying for weaker hardware just to browse Facebook? You tell me. You're the one sucking Apple's dick. Tell me why it's so good. #17 -
affix (01/10/2016) [-] Hardware. I'm in the military, i like that it's cold, aluminum, tougher than plastic. I like the mac air's small mobile weight and long battery life of 12 hours, with about 1.5 hours to full charge. 30 days of standby time, i just close the lid and later resume where i was. Sometimes i even charge the thing. If it dies it saves the session so i plug it in and my session is back with no lost work. Its got a backlit keyboard despite the lower half being half an inch tall. The trackpad is better than any trackpad i've ever used. If i don't have a mouse with me i don't care. It's fast and responsive pinch zoom/scroll/gestures have virtually no noticeable delay and i can almost match a mouse's speed when doing certain specific tasks. It feels like i could throw it in a bag without stressing, and i have been for 3 years. Software The trackpad and OS are interconnected. Playing video means i can pinch scroll frame by frame to find a particular frame to screencap, or swipe it to scrub frames quickly. Speaking of screencap, both screenshot and video are included in OSX. Complete with mapped hotkey i can screenshot and drag a specific area and it saves to desktop automatically, or a hotkey to capture all desktop and save to desktop. In windows i have to PrtScr and open paint then paste, then save and name it. I can also losslessly record video of my screen with quicktime only on mac, on windows you must pay for screen recording software of any good quality, (usually how it goes, mac already does it, while windows you have to buy it). The operating system is as fast as windows. Sometimes faster because programs install by dragging and dropping the icon into the applications folder. If i want to uninstall, it's a drag into the trash bin. Most programs are drag and drop quick install. All windows programs are installed through longer wizards. I can install and uninstall 3 programs in the time of installing and uninstalling one windows program. iMovie is as good as sony vegas, garageband is cool, i just looked over a friend's shoulder, i personally don't have any experience in it. No viruses. Wirelessly and automatically syncs music from itunes to my iphone. As long as i maintain one music folder, my phone reflects that. GRAPHIC EQUALIZATION AND GLOBAL EQU. Windows tries its hardest to make sure i never get the chance to globally equalize my sound, meaning i adjust the bands so my bass kicks and the highs don't make my ears bleed. Expensive headphones, speakers of mine, and even my earbuds benefit from graphic equalization. My realtek drivers don't let me, windows software has nothing on it. And there is only ONE program i can use to equalize, Equalizer APO with peace gui. it looks like ass but it works 99% of the time. Mac tries as hard as it can to make sure you get good sound. It offers on apple's site a graphic equalizer of its own creation that looks great and works amazing called AU Lab. And if you don't want that one, there are dozens of others to choose from. Its why DJ's choose mac. Apple understands and helps. Windows lets you do it yourself, sometimes for a fee. I could go on but i just remembered i'm talking to a stranger on the internet that doesn't give a shit about me or what i have to say. I'm severely reducing the effort i spend on you from now on.

| >don't have much experience in I've told you multiple times that I've used Apple products. They fail to impress, meaning that I have no reason to buy one for myself. And hey, newsflash, the Surface is pretty shit too. Again, my "hate" isn't limited only to crApple. I'll give things their fair chance, but I'm not going to make excuses for lackluster products. That's all. Hell, I'll talk shit about my preferred products all day long because I'd like for them to be better. Settling for shit is never a good thing. As for the "novel," I've already told you that it was mainly because it was late at night and it felt good to rant. That doesn't mean I don't stand by my points though. Bruh. Listen. You don't have much experience in macs because you just tried it not owned it. Someone who shoots someone else's gun at the range, or drives someone else's car, doesn't have as much experience as the person that owns that brand. Since they live with it daily. I could climb in a buddies challenger and say wow this corners like a truck, but the guy that owns it knows how to make the best of it and fully appreciates that make and model. Experience does not come from just trying something. #13 -

Is it about overpaying for weaker hardware just to browse Facebook? You tell me. You're the one sucking Apple's dick. Tell me why it's so good. #17 -
affix (01/10/2016) [-] Hardware. I'm in the military, i like that it's cold, aluminum, tougher than plastic. I like the mac air's small mobile weight and long battery life of 12 hours, with about 1.5 hours to full charge. 30 days of standby time, i just close the lid and later resume where i was. Sometimes i even charge the thing. If it dies it saves the session so i plug it in and my session is back with no lost work. Its got a backlit keyboard despite the lower half being half an inch tall. The trackpad is better than any trackpad i've ever used. If i don't have a mouse with me i don't care. It's fast and responsive pinch zoom/scroll/gestures have virtually no noticeable delay and i can almost match a mouse's speed when doing certain specific tasks. It feels like i could throw it in a bag without stressing, and i have been for 3 years. Software The trackpad and OS are interconnected. Playing video means i can pinch scroll frame by frame to find a particular frame to screencap, or swipe it to scrub frames quickly. Speaking of screencap, both screenshot and video are included in OSX. Complete with mapped hotkey i can screenshot and drag a specific area and it saves to desktop automatically, or a hotkey to capture all desktop and save to desktop. In windows i have to PrtScr and open paint then paste, then save and name it. I can also losslessly record video of my screen with quicktime only on mac, on windows you must pay for screen recording software of any good quality, (usually how it goes, mac already does it, while windows you have to buy it). The operating system is as fast as windows. Sometimes faster because programs install by dragging and dropping the icon into the applications folder. If i want to uninstall, it's a drag into the trash bin. Most programs are drag and drop quick install. All windows programs are installed through longer wizards. I can install and uninstall 3 programs in the time of installing and uninstalling one windows program. iMovie is as good as sony vegas, garageband is cool, i just looked over a friend's shoulder, i personally don't have any experience in it. No viruses. Wirelessly and automatically syncs music from itunes to my iphone. As long as i maintain one music folder, my phone reflects that. GRAPHIC EQUALIZATION AND GLOBAL EQU. Windows tries its hardest to make sure i never get the chance to globally equalize my sound, meaning i adjust the bands so my bass kicks and the highs don't make my ears bleed. Expensive headphones, speakers of mine, and even my earbuds benefit from graphic equalization. My realtek drivers don't let me, windows software has nothing on it. And there is only ONE program i can use to equalize, Equalizer APO with peace gui. it looks like ass but it works 99% of the time. Mac tries as hard as it can to make sure you get good sound. It offers on apple's site a graphic equalizer of its own creation that looks great and works amazing called AU Lab. And if you don't want that one, there are dozens of others to choose from. Its why DJ's choose mac. Apple understands and helps. Windows lets you do it yourself, sometimes for a fee. I could go on but i just remembered i'm talking to a stranger on the internet that doesn't give a shit about me or what i have to say. I'm severely reducing the effort i spend on you from now on. Nice. This is way better than the "you just don't know" bullshit you were spouting earlier. Thank you for finally giving real reasons. Seriously. Hardware The aluminum is a double edged sword. Sure, it looks nice and all, but like I said, a dent or bend is permanent. Scratches are also more visible on aluminum as opposed to plastic. The weight and battery life can be had in other products, so that's nothing too amazing. I'm the same with the trackpad on my Chromebook. I actually prefer to use the trackpad on it versus carrying a mouse. My other laptop isn't so great with that, but it is comparable to others from its time. I feel like mine could also easily handle being thrown into a bag without worry. The Toshiba has had abuse for years, though the Chromebook is still fairly new. Software Frame by frame scrolling is supported by any player worth using. Nothing amazing. The clipping tool has been part of Windows since Vista, and setting up a hotkey for whatever screenshot/window grab tool you prefer for Linux is trivial. I'll give you the screen recording thing, though I don't really think it's very important at all. Also, free programs like OBS do it just fine anyway. There are a fair amount of tools that are available as standalone exes, eliminating the need to install. Just drop it where you need it and run. Installers are simply a relic of the past for compatibility reasons. Windows, if you didn't know, is very popular for enterprise use, so it needs to maintain that share of the market by supporting their older programs. iTunes will automatically and wirelessly sync to iDevices on Windows. It's done that for years. >no viruses assuming you mean malware in general, as most people do That's a lie and you know it. I guess boonana, flashback, hackback, lamadai, cointhief, appetite, and many others mean absolutely nothing to you. There's also the fact that OSX doesn't hold a large enough market share to really make them worth it to begin with. You're better off targeting Windows if you want to really spread. GRAPHIC EQUALIZATION AND GLOBAL EQU I don't know what's up with yours, but I'm able to equalize audio system-wide with my default Realtek drivers if I so choose. However, I choose not to play audio from shit sources instead of polishing bad audio with an equalizer. Again, this is so much better. Try to start with something like this next time instead of just telling people they need to buy a product they have no interest in. I understand that it's a bit much, so a tl;dr version of something like this would be great. I can't agree with some things about Software Frame by frame scrolling is supported by any player worth using. Nothing amazing. -Except you do it with the trackpad using gestures, pinching, two finger scrolling. I can find a single frame i want in a video 10 times faster than windows with mouse. As well as it feels very fast and natural. You'll have to trust my review of its performance. The clipping tool has been part of Windows since Vista, -Exept on mac you press the key, click and drag, and its saved to the desktop with a name. Do it on windows and you find the snipping tool, click new snip, click and drag, save the image, specify the directory, name it, and then it's finally done. its slower. I'll give you the screen recording thing, though I don't really think it's very important at all. Also, free programs like OBS do it just fine anyway. -i can't get OBS to record my windows screen without chopping off the side, i've been through forums and fixes and gave up after an hour. The right side gets loped off. There are a fair amount of tools that are available as standalone exes, eliminating the need to install. Just drop it where you need it and run.

OtisMcWonderful (01/10/2016) [-] There are players that also support that on Windows and Linux. BakaMPlayer has mouse gestures, which gives it trackpad gestures by default, for example. I do prefer a keyboard for this kind of thing. I'm much faster with it. The snipping tool isn't perfect, but it's still decent. Freeform selection is neat. I do prefer to just alt+prtscn when I need a specific window captured though. I've noticed that a lot of people don't know that, so maybe you learned something here too. No more cropping to the window you want. I haven't had that issue with OBS myself. It works as it should once you figure it out. Standalone programs are usually relegated to small tools like GPU-Z, Speccy, etc. So it isn't extremely common. A lot of pirated games also work the same way though. Just extract it and play. And yeah, iTunes on Windows is pretty decent. It's what I've used for years, though I guess that's mostly just due to habit since it's been so long. I wouldn't have any issues switching, but I haven't had a reason to switch yet. | ||

dashgamer (07/04/2015) [-] SURE WOULD BE GREAT IF I COULD ATTEND FJ PARTIES RATHER THAN WORK FOR 18 HOURS ON ******* INDEPENDENCE DAY THANKS TO INCOMPETENT HIGHER UPS SCHEDULING THREE PEOPLE FOR FIVE SHIFTS ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
Traumatic brain injuries? How in the hell did you get concussions from green and brown belt courses?
That's on your instructor: he shouldn't be an instructor any more.
I got a bite of Corpseos today, though. My relief for my security job was a Marine that got out in January. When I was in, he was a little ol' boot, a despicable thing, but as ******* civvies we reminisced and swapped tales. ****** weird, yo.
