Aye, I agree with you
But let’s face it, not everyone of us is you who has the capability to mess with their computers
Yes they’re overpriced and can be run over by a comparable machine but they’re smart in knowing the average joe has no clue about all this or doesn’t want to bother 
I don’t mess with their computers for a reason 
like I said I agree, I’m only playing a bit of devil’s advocate from the average person’s point of view 
That’s why I left the foot-note saying that it doesn’t matter what spec you compare between the two, even the entry level ones are the same. Besides, if you’re buying a ‘pro’ prouct, you should have some clue as to what you’re doing. And the internet exists for a reason. lol
Again, yes. Apple is not a tech company, just a very good marketing machine.
Agreed 
if only people knew that 
There’s great how to videos and stuff out there but I’ve still seen people eff up so bad because they can’t follow directions on them or just gloss over something
And to the same point-idk why people are so lazy/uninterested in researching what they’re buying beforehand usually 
I actually agree with the way Apple run their company at the core. Their philosophy of “the stupid must pay for being stupid and must be exploited” is one I like. It reflects in their design language too.
Apple don’t want you to know what you’re doing, they want you to pick it up and use it as they gave it to you. That’s why the settings menus are barren and have nothing useful in them. That way they let you believe that santa and the tooth fairy are real until you’re 60 that it’s magic.
In contrast, Windows is aimed at mid to high-level users that know what they’re doing but it can sort of be used by simpletons as well. Then we have Linux, where you need 3 PhDs in IT just to have a basic understanding of how to navigate it.
Lmao
That post was pretty good from start to end lol
I think we pretty much agree, maybe the bashing stings my pride a tiny bit being an iPhone owner 
I do agree it’s all closed off but sometimes that rigidity can be desirable as well-at least in the phone side for me
Apple have system stability, I’ll admit that freely. And as much as I hate to say it, W10 was surprisingly stable (despite its infuriating other flaws) until recently. I’ve been getting more BSODs in the past month or two than I have in the time before that since owning this laptop. It’s not a hardware issue because I haven’t been fiddling with it recently. I’ve gotten maybe a dozen total BSODs since getting it, and 8 of them were very recent.
Why so? 
I haven’t had a single one to this point…knock on wood, salt over shoulder, twist 3 times to the left, etc etc etc lol
Well, I had to let an update through about a couple of months ago…and then another a week or so after that one 
. W10P only lets you hold off updates for a lot longer, not eliminate them completely. It’s just postponing the inevitable.
Wait by bsod are you referring to the updates or error screens from the system malfunctioning?
The updates yeah I noticed lately too
Then I have to update drivers on it almost every time
The alienfx app particularly gets annoying
Reading to all this, still not tired! What’s wrong with me?
I don’t get, way it always has to be so complicated for simple users like me.
I find my pure interest in using this things not really wrong. And making this hard on purpose and annoy me with lots of stuff I can’t switch of without an engineering degree even worth.
Blue Screen Of Death, your bog standard system crash for whatever reason. The one that gives you the stupid emoti and a useless QR code that leads to a generic page.
Don’t get me started on drivers. I run an aftermark EQ because the crappy stock one was broken by an update, now every time the audio driver is updated, it breaks my custom EQ as well so I have to reset it to the generic Windows driver every time. I think I found a way to make the reset permanent last time, but only time will tell.
So I’ve heard.
I’m confused. Are you complaining about tech speak in the tech thread?
That’s exactly the drawing point for Apple
They offer something simple at a cost for people that think this way
“Oh it’s so easy to use, it must be much harder to make that’s why it costs more-it’s more refined”
It’s my view on a phone too, laptops should be accessible-phones don’t have to be for me
This, if I want to do any kind of computational task, I’ll do it on a PC or laptop. A phone should be a last resort, emergency, tool. It should be used purely for making calls and sending the odd text.
That’s what I thought but you’re getting those because of the updates?? That’s where I got confused
Good luck 
Same with the fx app
It controls the audio and lighting so pretty much effs up the same crap as you
First time I got stressed as hell , now it’s just the usual
Lmao oh no I’m not going NEAR that argument
That’s what I’m guessing it is. From the error codes it gives me, I can’t pin it down on one specific thing because they’re always different and have only pointed to hardware once when I got a RAM error.
Thanks.
Bloody hell, audio as well? I thought it was only the RGB (which to be honest you can do without, just set it to a single colour and be done with it).
Same here. I can usually tell the exact time it clicks over in my case, because it’s delayed. So I’ll update, boot back in, start doing stuff, playing music and what not. Then my music would suddenly start sounding like crap.
Looking back on it, I think she was complaining about bad UI design in OSs.
What? No. Don’t complain about you! Really.
Just the statement that it is ok to sell overpriced shit to people who just want to use it. Something most people want.
And it’s not that I’m not trying.
Example:
I knew to do as one of the first steps to deactivate all apps I don’t use on my phone.
But as secend screen, I have some news side. Totally annoying, bombards me with bad news. So I blocked all pop ups. But didn’t find any way to get rid of it.
Half a month later I get the warning that my 3 GB are gone to 80%. WTF? Normally I use 1 a month. So something still sucks in the backround. Found finally a stop samsung internet from doing something in the back switch, now it slowed the sucking. But way all this in the first place?
That’s hella crappy
I’ll keep a lookout on mine but fingers crossed it don’t start up
Aye it’s like the main control point for audio, Rgb, and temp settings
Haven’t had to mess with the temps so no complaints there but it was primarily the audio that was annoying me the first time because it would mute out
I got that reset by installing an earlier version but that effed up the rgb stuff a couple days later an update posted by dell in their support forums that fixed both
She was lol
Yeah, my bad, I misunderstood.
Tap and hold on a blank spot on your home screen. Let the options appear, then scroll over to the pane and deactivate it.
Check your mobile data settings and make sure it’s turned off when you’re not using it. Drag the top menu down and make sure it’s off.
Wow, just…wow. I’m glad my XPS doesn’t really have any of Dell’s bloatware. I only had the update centre thing and ADWcleaner detected it and pruged it on sight.
Aye, it’s a fairly clean app when it’s running well though
It’s all in one place and fairly user friendly
Anyway yeah I got rid of everything too haha
The secend pick I already did early on.
That I’m not entirely sure how to do it.
Do you mean this:
It’s to save data
