Re: Apple publicly apologizes for celebrating its destruction of the human experience

Talk about completely whooshing the point. Do you even read?

Chris,

People like you are why I say the things I do about Apple zealots.
Badgolferman is an adult - he would never say the lies you just said.

I have one advantage over all of you religious zealots, and it precisely
that I'm not stupid - where I'm calling you out on your lies about support.

FACT:
 *Apple only fully supports one and only one major release*

 
Not fact.

If you think Apple fully supports more than one release, Chris,
then it's you who didn't read any of the cites I provided, one of which is
from Apple which badgolferman read and quoted, which refutes your claim.

Since it _is_ fact, I posit you didn't understand the cite.

FACT:
 Apple only fully supports one release and Apple clearly says that.
 <https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a/>

Apple can only fully support currently implemented architectures.
The fact is Apple does update 17, 16 & 15 regularly.

Chris... there's no way you have a PhD if you can't comprehend that every
operating system vendor, including Apple, fixes egregious bugs in every
release, even releases a decade old - but that does not mean they fix every
bug they know of in that release - and - in fact - Apple specifically
states that they do NOT fix every bug they know of in any release but in
the latest release. That's just a fact, Chris.

The fact you can't comprehend facts is why I say what I say about you.
I've never met people as incomprehensible as you Chris in my entire life.

Only on this Apple newsgroup are people who can't comprehend facts.
Even facts that Apple publicly stated are facts.

That last arsetechnica article makes an invalid point in comparing two 5
year old computers and claims the mac would have to be junked due to
company policy due to to no more support. What it forgets is that companies
have policies of refreshing hardware on a 3, 4, 5 year cycle anyway
regardless of whether it's supported or not.

The fact remains that only Apple fully supports only one release, Chris.
That's just a fact.

A 5 year old PC will be on its knees as well.

That's a ridiculously absurd assessment Chris.

My desktop PC was built in 2009, Chris, and it kicks ass because it was
built by me with high end components of that day and age - and it has full
operating system support for all bugs that Microsoft knows about.

So you're wrong again.
