I don’t think anyone has yet mentioned the very worst thing. As best as I can tell, it’s not an Apple monitor.


There is just so much there that would bother me if I was in the room that I find it difficult to find anything as being the worst. Therefore, your worst is not obvious to me.

Unless you are saying that the monitor is not an Apple one is the worst thing??!!!

DNA has its own language (code), and language requires intelligence. There is no known mechanism by which matter can give birth to information, let alone language. It is unreasonable to believe the world could have happened by chance.

I was unaware that there is also a cult / worship of Apple monitors in addition to their computers?

What makes them superior to all other manufacturers' monitors?

I can see their computers being considered superior since Apple controls all that is inside of them.

But don't all other manufacturers also control all that is inside their monitors?

I've put together computers. But never a monitor.

Their monitors have historically tended to be quite good. As an example, you want good colour accuracy when designing a magazine layout with adobe InDesign. In that case a top tier apple monitor may be worth the investment. They’ve also often been at the forefront when it comes to monitor size and resolution for “pro” users.

For most people it’s just not worth the money though in my opinion.

I have an Apple "monitor". It is firmly attached to the computer/keyboard/touchpad of my MacBook Pro. Excellent display quality. It is much more user friendly than this monitor:

Apple laptops are inexpensive, you can often pick them up in local cafe's for next to nothing ... providing you can run quick enough.

Joking aside, here in the UK and shoplifting has spiked sharply, there's so much of it going on the Police don't have the resources and are largely ignoring losses of < $250 value of thefts, in most cases just remotely dishing out a crime number. Perhaps a intentional policy alongside a shift towards digital currency and stay at home to work/shop/relax. At least we now have ChatGPT running alongside ListenGPT and TrackTraceGPT.

Wasn't that long ago when we had no income taxes, as that was deemed to be too intrusive. None of anyone else's business.

If you're on the transgenderism-is-real side, wouldn't it warm your heart to see this chart?
