The Apple ID is annoying I admit. However my phone and computer have been pretty reliable with just using subs. So will probably relate back to your post when ready to move on to different (better) tech.
Don't get me wrong, Apple hardware and tech is very, very good. They're just pulling stupid corporate crap to force their customers to do things their way. I happen to disagree with it. So... I use PCLinuxOS for 99% of what I do on a laptop and Android for 99% of what I do on a phone. I also use Windows 8.1 for the only software I have left that isn't either Linux native or can be gotten to run on Linux, which is the TTS reader I use. But eventually even that will fall, and Windows too will go bye bye.
Did you know that PlayStation gaming consoles are running FreeBSD under the hood? I couldn't make up my mind on PS4 vs XBox 1 until I heard that. Now I just have to muster up enough give-a-shit to actually buy one. I can't seem to get that far. Who has time for gaming, when you're developing this technology I'm developing?
If you do ever get the time, I vote for PS4! Sony has always been about quality. My PS1 still works to this day. My dad's Xbox 360 Elite got red ring of death within a year back when it first came out.
Let's see. XBox is a Microsoft product, and Microsoft products inevitably give me problems. I have to deal with lockups on my XBox 360 more than once per gaming session. Solution: Power of, power on, log in, start up again, and resume from last saved game. If I wasn't playing Skyrim, aond only a few hours a month, this would be totally unacceptable.
XBox 1 runs Windows 10.
PS4 runs FreeBSD.
Hmmm. That was a difficult choice. lol
But most of the time, I have better things to do than play games. I really only enjoy the Elder Scrolls series. I have played them to death. Current character is level 95 in Skyrim, and can kill even Legendary dragons with a single hit without them ever knowing I was even there. Even in a face to face fight, they usually don't get a chance to do much beyond shout once and they're dead. Makes me wonder why Dragons in Skyrim value their lives so little.
But I'd rather be out socializing, doing perfumery, developing new tech, doing photography, making money and enjoying the company of the ladies.
