"Don’t download random shit from people you shouldn’t trust, and you won’t have malware and/or keyloggers."
If only it was that simple. Apple's audience is not really us. I can't count the number of times, my mother-in-law tried to install random stuff on her PC and me having to deal with it. This is Apple's user.
The downside is not for folks like us on here that can make decisions about what is good and what is bad. Apple has invested heavily in creating an experience where the common person with no mental model of how this stuff is relatively safe.
The downside is Mom somehow installs said store, and said store distributes a poker game that does something malicious. Mom blames her iPhone as that's all she knows. She doesn't separate hardware from operating system and apps like we do.
I got my mom an iPhone for this reason. Then she kept locking herself out of it by typing in the wrong password. She lives in an Android dominated country so asking for help around her had varied results, including having her phone wiped and icloud account replaced a few times. In the end I got her an Android phone of the same model as the people around her. When I saw her next I noticed her phone had adware on it. I didn't know adware was a thing on phones.
Let's talk about my mom. When her brother died, she inherited a Mac and an iPad from him. I helped my mom set up the Mac for her, and she was good to go the same day. Whereas she spent many months (it may have been a full year, I don't recall) in a battle with Apple to get them to allow her to erase and reinstall iOS on the device. She wasn't trying to get my uncle's data, she just wanted to use the iPad for herself. Apple wanted a death certificate and all kinds of legal crap.
You don't own iOS devices, you're just paying an exorbitant rent.
Sony is out innovating them on every level. Faster releases, better features etc. Honestly as an enthusiast they deserve to tank. They’ve done nothing exciting in the space.
I own an A7RIII (and preordered an A7RIV) but I actually think Fuji is the most innovative right now.
In terms of image quality, my A7RIII blows my Fuji X-T3 out of the water but in _every other way_ the X-T3 is better. The ergonomics are fantastic (I love manual dials for all the settings), it has the kind of video you'd have to buy a Panasonic GH-5 for in the past, the out of camera JPEGs are much more pleasing to the eye (though I mostly shoot raw), the menu system is far more sane and it comes with features like focus stacking.
Plus, Fuji routinely adds new features to old cameras with software updates, while Sony for the most part tends to forget about a camera as soon as the new one is released.
This switch from working harder and getting more tasks done versus working harder to figure out how to scale in both your professional and personal life is hard transition. As someone going through the process, I do agree this is the most critical thing. Easier said than done.
If money is the soul reason you're working, it's pretty hard to beat FAANG. Came from FAANG and now doing the startup thing. The experience you learn at startup is priceless. But don't come in thinking you'll get rich. That's the gravy part.
Everything I've read says that all bleeding should be checked out.
Even if you're not willing/able to get a colonoscopy, it's easy for a specialist to check for hemorrhoids. If the hemorrhoids are internal (not all are) they use a little fiberscope that only needs to go in for an inch or so. It takes a minute to do at the office.
I wound up having some internal hemorrhoids surgically repaired. Not a big deal at all. The bad news is that the prep for that surgery is pretty much the same as the prep for a colonoscopy. IIRC (it's been over 10 years) I think the doctor first did a colonoscopy and then repaired the hemorrhoids, all in the same operation.
Sheesh, the things we type on HN. Without a throwaway even.
