    Apple lost me back in the '70's. I was looking for a computer and went to an Apple store. Lets just say the experience was dismal. The staff had no real tech knowledge of the computers at all. They had been programmed with sales pitches. And when I finally did get a computer, I got one that was much superior to Apple(C64).

    It's funny how the channel likes only positive feedback and not real feedback. I was eager to view every episode but as a lot of people said, in this video she blocked Apple AND Google, she should have blocked only Apple and used a Pixel and a Chromebook. It's very biased and as she wants to send a positive message it only shows how unfair media is, not seeing the whole picture. It is actually a shame. I've never had an Apple product in my life and I'm a tech lover. I've been living perfectly without any issues. I've used them and I don't want them.

      I don't use any apple device and it's not affecting me at all lol. Idk why they had to block Google

    I think the only real downside to this series is I don't think most people use as much tech as she does. I use a ton but even with that she uses 8x more than me.
    Another thing about this series is Russia basically already does this since their government is so strict. Same with China

    To be fair, you should start from Apple first.

    Well, yeah, Firefox OS is no more
    But that Nokia is running KaiOS, which is a fork and continuation of Firefox OS

    • @MJ-uk6lu
      @MJ-uk6lu Před 4 lety

      3310 is running the same old S30 OS that Nokias ran for many years. Kai OS is only available on Banana Phone (8110) and 2720 Flip.

    You can't complain that apple is the best and it's a hard week without apple if you don't use the best alternative like a pixel or Galaxy . You could have used the LG gram or surface laptop. I know that you did it for next week but it's unfair to make this video.

    • @ClipsNSnips
      @ClipsNSnips Před 5 lety +3

      You're exactly right...… She set this up to fail in order to make the appless life look impossible. Very unscientific method. At 32 years old, I've lived my entire life without giving Apple a cent ;)

    • @Readyplayer11
      @Readyplayer11 Před 5 lety

      @CALM KITTY but if you say it's hard not to use apple without using the competition it's unfair. She could have used the surface laptop and pixel with a different result. You can't call it a professional video if she wants to save money.

      @@definitelyari in short, i said apple and google track you 24/7 via wifi-scanning. only way not to be tracked is to get linux phone, or an android phone running an AOSP de-googled rom. want real information on tracking and privacy, check out the channel called the Rob Braxman Tech

    I think the only people who think apple products are some sort of status symbol are people who use apple products x) When I see people using iphones or apple computers, I genuinely feel bad for them
