I oversee a fleet of both devies and they are both way less stable than they should be considering what we pay for them. Also fuck HP its actually so dogshit. These fucking idiots fuck their own drivers up so often I hesitate to push the updates even though were paying out the ass for enterprise tier support.
Macs are controlled hardware totally under Apple’s control, whereas PCs are wild West.
In this case wild west is actually a good thing if you ask me.
Sure, agree, but it comes with downsides. I’d still take it over Mac anytime.
Yeah and a Windows PC is relying on a bunch of other manufacturers doing their part.
Now I’m as partisan a Mac user as you’ll find, but considering I see one of my Macs crash once every couple of years or so, I can’t really call “3 times as often,” a horrifyingly egregious number.
Compared to operating systems of the 90s/00s our current operating systems are rock solid. I’d crash once a week on a Mac back in those days.
I was gonna say… do Macs even crash? I don’t think I’ve ever seen those two words together in a sentence before. Not that I’ve used a Mac but yeah… I have an iPhone and I barely ever need to restart this thing, really only do it when I have to install an update and it really just restarts itself.
I’ve used Macs a lot - and they do crash.
I’ve had as many software crashes on Macs as in Windows.
I haven’t seen a BSOD on Windows in years, and I’m in IT. It happens, just nothing like it used to.
The BSODs I’ve had on Windows in recent years have all been due to faulty hardware. Once that was resolved I’ve had no crashes. Can’t really blame the OS for that.
Meanwhile on Linux: “You guys have crashes?”
This is funny but ironically I had maybe a few bad kernels for a bit because I was getting kernel panics all the time for a few weeks. My mac is still my most stable device, but also tbf I would hope that it is in comparison to my computer part legos (aka desktop pc).
Go figure out passwordless for a few weeks.
… why?
ssh keys are your stumbling block?
bad title. the body of the article is more honest. companies arent patching their pcs.
I’ve never worked anywhere PC’s weren’t managed. Sounds like a bunch of amateurs.
That’s sounds realistic.
Both the types of use cases and demographic coverage (think globally) is very broad for Windows PC.
