Goddammit I fucking hate Macs

Fucking piece of shit

I'll probably have to install fucking Linux to the USB stick to solve this issue

@coolboymew My last ever Mac purchase, I had tons of trouble wiping the drive to install a different OS. It was as if their boot firmware actively tried to prevent it. Anyways, I struggled to find the magic combination of peripherals to be able to do what I wanted.

In the end I needed a special keyboard. For some reason my other keyboard did not work for inputting the key commands for accessing the BIOS???

Such a pain in the ass, never again.

@BitBun the problem is that APFS does something weird to the drive and Disk Utility is legitimately a piece of shit. It somehow detect the drive and shows it to you how it wants you to see it instead of actually showing the drive. So basically, you end up with two drives in an incompatible version, one you can wipe and another you can't. You wipe the one you can and try to install but... error. All because the thing is misdesigned. On purpose, probably

Otherwise you get the same issue if you did split the drive for the built in Windows installer. If you wipe the Mac without removing the Windows partition, Disk Utility actually has 0 ways to recover the Windows partition?????? It did in the bootcamp menu, but you wiped the mac partition!

It's stupid

@coolboymew @BitBun your problem is you're not using the Mac as a bling bling laptop
They're not for business they're for browsing furry porn and having a fake email job

@PurpCat @BitBun Can you actually properly develop, publish and etc. for iOS without one?

@coolboymew @BitBun no but that's the thing with apple, it's how they get ya

If you want to use an apple watch, you need an iOS device, and by the way all the android watches suck harder because Google can't do shit coherently.

@coolboymew @PurpCat I used to be an app developer (years ago now), and no - you need a legit Mac to sign the final binary. Not sure if it's changed since then, but it was a big annoyance for our build system.
