I hereby concede that APPLE makes the best computing products.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Had a DVD I wanted to watch
Have a very nice PC (16gb ram, 512gb SS drive, etc)
Have external DVD USB player
Wouldn't play on my PC between 4 different softwares
Tried GF's Chromebook, wouldn't play across 2 softwares
She pulled out her MacBook from 2010 as a last resort
DVD played without any issues

Literally the oldest computer we own and it played perfectly. She hasn't even turned on that computer for almost 2 years.

[Getter_done]

Disagreed, ORANGE is better.

ITT, we see a PC illiterate pleb giving his uneducated opinion on things, because he doesn't know how to provide correct video format support, and how to easily fix it

(hint : much easier/faster on a PC)

So an old computer played old technology? More at 11 bob

I actually used the external dvd player on the macbook.... So it immediately recognized and mated with the player and played the dvd.....

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

BRB, there was nothing to fix on an old MacBook. I am pretty sure you just proved his point.

THIS.

I'm surprised the macbook even turned on, much less played the dvd. It's literally the 2010 model lmao.

[aranadiscoteca]

Did you try VLC?

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Did you try VLC?

Yes, was choppy/kept freezing.

buying a macbook this week. This was a mind blowing experience IMO

[CalmWind]

OP - "my 2001 Toyota Corolla is better than 2020 Tesla Model S. Tesla wouldn't turn on when i pressed the button"

you - "did you connect it to your Wi-Fi to allow it to download software updates?"

OP - "idk bro, i just pressed the button and it didn't turn on. Then I sat in my old Corolla and turned the key and it worked. Its better"




basically

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

PC's play all common video formats you would find on a DVD.

k, but it didn't tho.

macbook did, automatically. from 2010.

[multiplemiggs]

Did you try VLC?

Or Media Player Classic and K lite codec pack.

[Duckliver]

was your dvd a pirate bootleg


again, my PC can run anything i want.



actually, this thread is perfect example of why Apple exists.


Apple = computer illiterates

PC = full customization power, higher top end performance, etc.

Who GAF about "higher performance" when the computer doesn't fukin work lmao.

I don't want to spend 3 hours finding which "codec" to download in order to play a dvd. FUK OFF with that chit.

and no, it wasn't a bootleg dvd, but even if it was, I'm sure the apple would have played it...

[cobhc]

I see why Mac is appealing for people who don't give a phuck about computers and just wanna turn it on and do chit but if you grew up with PCs there's zero reason to ever get one.

The fact our 2 PC's failed to play it between 6 softwares... yes it's very SAD they couldn't pass that test. Kind of staggering tbh.

Any pics of the "mating" ?

[northernlights7]

The real question is, why are you scrambling around trying to find a laptop to play a DVD/blu-ray on when you're apparently chilling at home? Go buy a basic blu-ray player right off the rack at Target/Best Buy/etc. for $50 for a TV and be done with it.

Which is why I was explicit and said "serious". I'm not talking about the hordes of Pajeets, sir.

I'm not a pajeet. I worked in the tech industry (not as a SE though).

We all hated apple.

Androids and PC everywhere.

Yeah and? I work in tech and everyone I know with a semblance of skill uses a Macbook or some trash Lenovo or Dell running Linux. No one uses Windows except secretaries and CEOs who use Outlook and watch golf videos.

EDIT: graduate school, out of 12 people off the top of my head, 8 Macbooks, 3 Linux systems, one dude had a Chromebook for notes. Zero Windows machines, almost all the Linux guys had Win10 running in KVM or Virtualbox for specific apps.

Ha, caught you.

Apple = automatically means their proprietary OS, e.g. macOS

however...


PC means personal computer. It does not = Windows. PC can be anything, like Windows, or Linux, or whatever homebrew OS you cook up yourself.



Apple sucks. Most techno literate people will always go Android/PC because of the freedom, customization, etc. It's how technology is supposed to be. Meanwhile, Apple is the commercialized training wheels for illiterates
