Comment by juleiie | original | The MacBook Pro's OLED PWM Problem: When a 'Better' Display Becomes Worse to Use

I Think Apple gets progressively worse and worse and I mean in a general way. There are some anomalies there and there but overall the direction is a slow decline in details and quality.

I love me some high end electronics that doesn’t feel cheap but soon it will be not worth it.

They have certainly been in decline ever since Jobs died. I really hope Ternus can flip it back around.

It’s still many times cheaper to overhaul Apple than to start another company from scratch.

They still have the right ethos, philosophy and past traditions engraved in the History of the company. Someone just needs to remind them what are they supposed to be doing.

But the Gamer-boys said, “OLED was better.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H43wnV-v7V0 Single OLED isn’t good enough long term. (Gamers will however claim it’s OK. 9 hours a day is 3285 hours in a year.

Gamers don't buy Macs hopefully.

And I don't mean gamers as in someone who plays video games but a more cultural term for a certain group of people that should be ridiculed and ostracized.

Honestly, it may be that the biggest pro of a MacBook is that it feels a world away from gamers and their constant insufferableness, creating a natural barrier.

We should quarantine gamers to windows and lock up the exit doors.

Then release Asha Sharma on them.
