That's a lot of Linux ISOs

I linked to a study upthread that shows IBM saving a few hundred dollars each when deploying Macs vs. Windows. Interestingly, the study also pointed out that employees using Macs did better on performance reviews.

MacOS only is used in some Silicon Valley companies, but that’s a bubble. You’d be hard pressed to find it used in the rest of the business world anywhere.

As a support/sales engineer for the last 20 years, the number of Macs I see both my coworkers and my customers using is huge. And this is across lots of different markets: Aerospace, finance, software, content creation, etc.

Macs are cheaper on a TCO basis than Windows machines, with IBM finding they save $273 - $543 per Mac they deploy, and they need less than half the number of support people for Macs compared to Windows.

Macs have the advantage of having Unix under the hood while being supported by software vendors.

Another important thing that Macs have is support contracts. You're not going to deploy a thousand Linux machines if the vendor doesn't provide support for it, and a lot of vendors still don't support Linux

25 years ago the notion that Macs would replace Windows was laughable. Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to recruit users to advocate for them.

But now most of the folks I work with have Macs and the ones who don’t use Linux. The only folks who use Windows are the accountants.

You wanna fix education? Fund it like the military.

My mom had a tote bag that said "I want to live in a world where schools have all the money they need and the air force needs to hold a bake sale to buy a bomber."

Once we grow it in a lab we can control it a lot more. Maybe genetically engineer it to have different properties.

It's also because of a massive decline in the number of insects in the last 20-30 years

There were way, way, way more bugs. Yesterday I spent about 12 hours on the highway, and I didn't need to pull over to clean my windshield once. 20-30 years ago my windshield and headlights would be completely plastered after a few hours.

Absolutely. Though putting it on 443, which is regularly port scanned as well, is the opposite of security through obscurity.
