I’ll be the contrarian… Welcome to the world where your device just works. No need to recompile the kernel with dodgy wifi drivers on every update. Was a Kubuntu user for years; wasted time daily, fighting with the os-disagreeing-with-the-hardware. Bought a MacBook, installed Homebrew, installed neovim and back to making a living with 12 hour battery life that beats the 2 hours on kubuntu with a fresh battery.
Note with the mac address you have to turn off the 'Private Wi-Fi Address' feature for your Wi-Fi network under settings, or it will keep changing the MAC address it broadcasts for privacy purposes .
Even though I am an apple user (MacBook laptop and iPhone) This made me laugh, especially with the comments and really does put privacy into perspective.
Not an Apple fanboy in any way, and coming from Android myself. But I bought an iPhone years ago and I absolutely love it. Not saying Android is bad or Apple is good, but in my usecase the iPhone just does what it needs to do. No apps or OS crashing. Never had an issue with it. It always worked.
In 2012 as teener I scratched together every penny I could find and bought my first iPad. My first Apple product. Best purchase ever of my entire life. It was insane what it enabled for me and the interest for the 'computer' itself dragged me into the tech world. After then using Windows machines for a few years, I let myself glide into the golden apple cage. Consciously and with open eyes. While I understand your reasons why you don't, the ecosystem is the best you can get. I'm certain I would have grey hair by now and would be generally much more frustrated if I would be working daily with Windows. I recently installed the Microsoft system for a family member. It doesn't let you install it without Microsoft account now without doing some weird stuff to get around that? And you get bombarded with candy crush ads? On an operating system? C'mon ...
I had a iPad Mini some years ago. I found it kinda useless as it was too locked down. The Apple "Experience" these days is getting to the annoyance level I bought a Pixel Phone with Graphene OS and intend to move everything off the iPhone onto there ditch apple altogether. Interested what you will be using the tablet for. I didn't quite catch it in the video (I am probably going deaf) though.
Apple is a great hardware company. Like most hardware companies they write bad software that you can't customize and protect their terrible software with a paranoia worthy of Gollum.
One thing i hate being "Family IT" person. Fucking phones and tablets. It was one of the reasons I brought iPhone for my say and say i don't know how you use android figure it our yourself. Don't like the company, but it gets the job done.
"I feel so dirty" good one lol. iPads are useless with closed sandbox. Why did you not get an android tablet instead? Just curious what the ipad does differently vs. Cannot wait to see what you going to do with it.
I bought a iPad way back in 2005 or 6. I also bought the small music player, that could also play the radio. Today in 2024 .... I don't have another apple product and never will. While I really like the feel and fit and finish of the iPad I don't believe it's worth the cost ... The material is great I just don't think they're are ground breaking enough to justify the price. My dad, RIP, when he finally bought a computer in the 2000's sometimes was oh I gotta have an apple they don't ever get virus' and other hype. He had his computer in more times than I ever did upgrades on my own PC's and he wasn't there to upgrade hardware. He tried telling me that oh I need the video editing ... blah blah blah ( not once did he ever do that ). As for me. I won't buy another won't use an iPhone. Maybe I'll get another music player but ... meh phones do that know just fine and the radio stations that I listen to stream so .... What's the point of more crap cluttering up my pockets.
Nice, good job joining the dark side. I use apple, but it’s got no where near the functionality of an android device. Loved the comment, I feel so dirty.
@@dave7244 It's open source, but Nextcloud wasn't to take a different direction to owncloud. Nextcloud is crammed with features, some of them are nice but shit tends to break and Nextcloud can be extructiatingly slow depending on your hardware and configuration.
Fucking hell, it's like installing Windows. Also I'm surprised it didn't come with opening instructions, given who usually buys Apple. Then again kids seem to like tearing things open and I suppose juvenile adults are probably the same.
I daily drive an iPhone, yes Apple is a scummy company, but in the mobile space they’re just simply better than the alternatives in most ways. Now in the laptop world I’d rather take a cheese shredder to my face…
Depends what you want from your device, it's the same with laptops. You have preferences that make Apple laptops intolerable, others have preferences for phones that make Apple phones intolerable.
The fact you need to sign in to an Apple account and add a mobile number, email address, and all this other crap is reprehensible. Last time I bought an Apple product all that shit could be skipped. Why the fuck does an iPad need you to give a phone number? Not everyone has a mobile phone. I thought the Apple TV requiring an iOS device to set it up out of the blue was dumbassery but this is another level of anti consumer garbage.
“Forgot password or don‘t have an AppleID?“ then select “Set up later“ not “Create a new AppleID”. You‘ve been there, it’s rather complex because it has three options to select from.
The nun punchline had me fucking dying

Freeks at JB are so true.
I got served by a witch who got upset when I asked if it was Halloween.
Haha, that's piss funny.
It’s not uncommon to see that emoji stuff with patch updates because it gets people to update their shit when theres security fixes.
Ipads are just nice to use. Especially as a media consumption in a casual setting
Just the way you delivered that line about the box being a snug fit ... as tight as a nuns... Made me howl.
Dapper again, Paul. Love the tie clip ;)
Well, I was leaving the house

If you feel 'dirty' handling an Apple product, imagine your viewers' reaction to seeing you wearing a red >gag< necktie and a managerial suit...
:P
Seems like viewers need to harden up
this moment well deserves your best suit 🤙🏻
Best turtle neck...
ipad with the sidekick 2, gps surveys, some of my favorite things
You're worrying me. First unifi, now apple. You're a new man.

I heard "RF Surveys", so going on location and scanning for RF signals? Not entirely sure tho
Correct. Will be videos in the future.
@@Eysvar Thanks.
I guess they do have Asahi Linux for the M* powered Macs..
I wonder if there is some way to get Asahi kernel booting on an ipad.
You have to root the device using an exploit.
Apple is a great hardware company. Like most hardware companies they write bad software that you can't customize and protect their terrible software with a paranoia worthy of Gollum.
Gotta love those nun's.
Why did you get the previous iPad Pro 11 inch why didn’t you go for the latest one ?
You buy what you need, he´s not a show-off.
Mrs Brown's Boys?
You've gone bush.
Now how did I know some cunt would comment on the files?
I swear, I thought you had a macbook, back in 2015. Good video, I lol'd. iNoob 2.0
It wasn't mine though... ie, I didn't buy it.
Facetime comment - love it!
Now we know what you watch

As I said in the video, Hamina Onsite.
Sorry to hear this
Me too
@@TallPaulTech at least you dressed up for the occasion
iPads are OK, the only Apple product I use too.
Mate...
Please explain how you got your dodgy number
LOL. Freakshows at JB HiFi... Don't I know it!
Mate, it must be part of the uniform or something.
Staff @ JB HiFi have no idea what "HiFi" is !!!! True story, you can't make this up !!!
@@BogdanWeiss What do you mean can't it up? I could make all sorts of shit up quite easily.
@@BogdanWeiss JB don't even "hifi" anymore
@@darrenoleary5952 they never did !!!
That screen looks AMAZING. Great design also.
My dodgy number is my Google number. Haha
My man had to dress real sharp buy an ipad hehe. Feels real weird to see you with an Apple device
My hands were tied because of the Hamina site survey product
It will be alright, you can try new things LOL
I bought a iPad way back in 2005 or 6.

The first iPad was released on April 3, 2010 so you must have bought something else.
Nice, good job joining the dark side. I use apple, but it’s got no where near the functionality of an android device. Loved the comment, I feel so dirty.
Never seen Own Cloud before. I need to investigate further.
Yes you do
@@TallPaulTech Didn't nextcloud fork away from owncloud because the owncloud owners didn't really do open source?
@@dave7244 Fucked if I know
@@TallPaulTech Fair
@@dave7244 It's open source, but Nextcloud wasn't to take a different direction to owncloud. Nextcloud is crammed with features, some of them are nice but shit tends to break and Nextcloud can be extructiatingly slow depending on your hardware and configuration.
My favorite is how they make the buttons they want you to click big bold and blue! Ef right off Apple!
Pretty sure it was Google that started that UI deception trend
Why unthinkable? I switched to Apple products back in 2015, never looked back, performance is so much better than Windows.
What's Windows?
@@TallPaulTech Linux in good too!
At least you didn't have to set foot inside an Apple -Store- Church
Oh there's no way in hell I was going to go in there. Just seeing that lot from the outside whilst walking past is enough.
Would there have been nuns in that church?
Little late for April fools tho right?
Yeah I'm afraid it's no joke
I say update and sound. No Android devices can beat that
You realise this is downgrading majorly..
Enguish.😭
You traitor. The only apple products I have are the ones I pull out of the bin and put linux on debian 12 best of ever. And old ipads for the parts.
Did I say anywhere in there that I WANTED to buy the thing? Nope.
@@TallPaulTech good point
Fucking hell, it's like installing Windows.
