The difference is that you can install Linux on your Windows car and upgrade the engine if you want some more power. If a rear light bulb breaks in your Apple car, you will have to buy the new iCar 2 Pro Max™ or pay almost as much to get the bulb replaced.

We actually got GPU drivers, touchbar drivers, webcam drivers, all we’re missing really is M3 support, microphone and Vulkan for the GPU (and Touch ID)

Took me a quick moment to realize that wasn’t a typo. Nice one

Hey, I never said I was gonna buy an Apple Car. I know how they play their game. I'm not holding the wheel wrong.

I’ve owned Macs for years. Yes, it is the second picture, but if you take the shroud off you pretty much do whatever you want. Meaning, I’ve got a proper Unix terminal that I can use to do anything. You can tune to your heart’s content, you just don’t have to.

Compared to my Windows machine, where I just count of doing a fresh install every year or two just to keep it running.
