#Shiftit mac high sierra windows

This isn't a bashing post, simply pointing out for one, Windows releases have been supported for a whole decade, literally 10 years of support (cycle for 10 has changed, Enterprise is still supported 10 years) two, application support.Under a modern version of Windows, say 8 or 10, you'll have little to no issue running applications that were written in the XP era. Um, designed to offer a consistent experience? I'm sorry but that statement holds much more true for Windows than it does for Mac. Unfortunately, that didn't fix the problem! Every month or so, I had to reset the system parameters, again! Battery backed RAM? Seriously? Hasn't Apple heard of EEPROMs? They've only been around for decades! Apple is usually at the front of the pack applying new technology. I assumed I had the bad luck of getting one of the few lemons that every manufacturer occasionally produces and bought the second.Īfter a few years, the second Mac started booting VERY SLOWLY! I googled this and discovered I had to reset the system parameters in the CMOS RAM. The disk controller chip went bad and I had to replace the main circuit board. I've had as many hardware issues with the two macs as all my other computers combined. I've had two Mac Mini's and over half a dozen other computers, over the years. How is this user friendly? I guess, Uncle Steve knows best! NOT!

Mac OS has a mere handful of changeable items and a handful of possibilities for each. I was always confused by Mac's permitting the middle mouse wheel to scroll a NON-Focused window! Yet, this does not change the keyboard focus, and key strokes still go to the other window! I don't see how this makes any sense at all! ANY mouse button should change the focus, not just the left one!īoth Windows and Linux have hundreds of GUI items the user can change and each one has dozens to hundreds of possibilities. Not perfect, but you can program the mouse buttons, with a modifier key, to do these functions. I partly solved the mouse only copy-paste issues with BetterTouchTool. The difference between focused and not focused colors is rather subtle for my partly color blind eyes! None of the available options were much of an improvement. On Mac OS, there are very few options to change the Title Bar focus color. This is an ideal condition for me, as I believe the "more powerful" OS should be the host, and the slave should be the OS you only really need one or two things from.īittersweet ending, but better than folding to the "Apple way", screw that I have my own way of doing things and I don't try to push it on anybody else, unlike Cooks idea of how technology should work The only thing I didn't initially have was iMessage, but with a little research have gotten my last time machine backup installed as a virtual machine. Not being able to bear it any longer, parted with the world of Apple forever once support for El Capitan was dropped, no regrets, never going back. Multi billion dollar question is why is Steve Jobs not haunting the literal life out of Tim Cook? I feel sorry for the Mac. They've tried so hard to turn the Mac into something it's not-a phone/tablet, that choice forever reverbs in the piss poor quality of Apple's current and future OS X releases. There used to be a time OS X was pleasant and a treat to use, somewhere right around Mountain Lion/Mavericks and beyond, each release has become more and more insulting to use, you can't tell where the cloud ends and where "your stuff" begins. And it is clear that the MacBook isn't my computer - it is Apple's. I know you're going to be tempted to reply with " you're using it wrong" - but I'm not.

In Ubuntu, I get a nice little GUI for picking network shares.

I can't see them on Mac when I have a larger cursor.

On Mac there's a half-hearted splitscreen view which only supports horizontal splitting. Vital when using multiple windows at once.

On Ubuntu, I drag a window to the side or to a corner, and it snaps into position.

I don't want a notification icon in the top right of my screen.

Sometimes I want to keep the calculator on screen while I type an email.

On a Mac I need to install some shonky 3rd party software which rarely works.

#Shiftit mac high sierra android

If I stick a USB cable between my phone and Linux laptop, I can see the Android files on my laptop.

I use a vertical mouse and use my thumb to click.

On Linux, this is a complex command-line incantation.

I want to be able to hover over a new one and start interacting with it without clicking.

I have multiple screens and multiple windows.

I know you like Helvetica San Francisco - but I find it a bit too thin to read.The only way to do this on MacOS is to lower the resolution of the entire screen! I find the menu bar at the top too small.These are things which either are impossible, or require adding unsupported 3rd party software - sometimes at a cost. Here's a partial list of everything I cannot do on a Mac, but I can do on Ubuntu.
