Don't misconstrue Huelen's opinions re: Trump.Trump doing particularly Trump-y things "I'll just fence-sit here, i'm still unconvinced about all of this"
BestBuy taking off the factory applied screen protector "FUCK THEM FUCK BEST BUY I DEMAND A REFUND"
Apple rejecting SteamLink App "Smart move by Cupertino"
Some weird shenanigans with regards to iMac pro repairs "THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS, WE NEED TO RIOT!"
This is the part where Huelen acts baffled as to why people get irritated.I can never work out if you really are a troll account or just a very odd person. I'm hoping troll to be honest.
Don't misconstrue Huelen's opinions re: Trump.
It's not that Huelen hates women or thinks that black lives don't matter, they just think that they matter less than iMac Pros.
It was, at one point. Here's a snippet of one of the many vids with Steve explaining shit about the Apple process...

See, back in the day, they were confident, and wanted to go above and beyond, with a dedicated bar as well. And guess what? If that person couldn't help, they didn't have to wait for a manager, or another day when another tech is in, they had a dedicated Red phone so that the challenged Genius could get connected directly to Cupertino with someone with the answers.
But again, that is no more. Nothing gold can stay. Before, with thier smaller stores and dedicated bars, I got consistently better service. They treated me as a customer, not a child, not a guest, as it should be.

Watch the vid, get the context.You're acting like a child by repeatedly referring to Apple as Cupertino.
Steve explains why you call Apple Cupertino in the video?
The video has absolutely nothing to do with you acting weird and childish by calling them Cupertino instead of Apple.
The 80USD VESA kit is the only official option. That o oy official option also comes with the shittiest zinc screws. It's not about sweating money, it's about lack of options. It sounds like you are nearly blaming the consumer, bot the shoddy product.Apple products continue to be garbage. And who the hell spends 5k on an apple product and the 80$ for a vesa... are these people sweating money?
So wait I'm nearly blaming the consumer but yet in your second paragraph you go on my claim of apple being shit. GotchaThe 80USD VESA kit is the only official option.

And no, Apple doesn't "continue"to produce garbage. There are a lot of great Apple products and services, the important thing is calling out these lemons.
No, you implied that they continued to make garbage as if that were all they were making. You don't get to number 4 by being garbage, I assure you.So wait I'm nearly blaming the consumer but yet in your second paragraph you go on my claim of apple being shit. Gotcha
But you do? So long and the people don't care about their damn shady products and overpriced boxesNo, you implied that they continued to make garbage as if that were all they were making. You don't get to number 4 by being garbage, I assure you.
See, I still think there is something missing with that part of the story...All because Apple packaged a product not overseen by themselves as an Apple product.
This is why they shouldn't sell third-party products in their stores.
The company cheapened out by using shitty screws which fucks the product up.
It's a classic mistake made by these huge companies.
The Apple of today is not what they used to be. My biggest issue with them is their repair prices, it's kills any interest I have in an used MBP with touchbar that's over two years old.
Violates the license agreement, and it's a game of cst and mouse with updates. Not worth it.If everyone knows so much more about computer maintenance than Apple then just build a Hackintosh and run MacOS from there.
And I give props to the guy for taking pics and footage throughout most of the ordeal, the condition the Apple Store returned the stand in was absolutely unacceptable. That being said...
My 2017 15" MacBook Pro has been a constant headache. USB-c ports failing. Having to revert back to Sierra (at the suggestion of Apple Store techs) The thing runs slower than my 2014 Pro. All around, it's a horrible device and after this gen I think I'm moving on from their laptop products.I'm seriously thinking of selling my Apple products and jumping ship. This and the recent bend gate and MBP keyboard shenanigans have turned me off their products.
Honestly screw this company.
Yup.
I'm done with Cupertino. I'm gunna buy a Redmond Surface Book off of Seattle.
broken VESA mount screw.I don't think Jesus cares much about somebody's broken computer.
Come on, don't call them "Apple" just because their logo is an apple. Grow up.
Is that a thing? I mean, I don't see people calling MS Redmont, or Google being referred to as Mountain View.Oh my God, I can't believe you're at it again with a part two of your Cupertino shenanigans. First thread was a fun read, but you can't keep self-sabotaging your threads with this insistence to refer to a company by the city they're based in.
Any idiot can say Apple....only those in the know say Cupertino. I can't take anyone's opinions seriously unless they know the city names of companies. Redmond. Minato. Kyoto. Seoul. Ummm....Seoul again. Microsoft (sorry, Micro$oft), Sony, Nintendo, Samsung, LG. It's how us insiders all talk when we get together and put our fingers on the pulse!Cupertino is a City, Apple is a company. Know the difference, it doesnt make you look smarter saying Cupertino.
Yes, yes it is. Don't laugh at the people who heavily invested in a pro grade machine, don't make light of their plight, call this out for what it is. My question in the OP remains unanswered though, can anyone think of any other product and scenario happening even remotely close to the iMac pro BS?
