    Everyone I know in tech uses android. People that want capable handheld devices choose android. People that want a basic device that does what the company says and nothing else go Apple. Even I suggest Apple to old people and luddites, it protects itself from them. Oh, and people easily manipulated by social pressures (OMG I need the right colored text bubble!) will deeply overpay for a subpar device.

    I am so guilty of this!

    Granted, if it is a new activity or hobby where rookies don’t destroy gear, it makes sense to me. It lets me skip the constant upgrading as my skills increase.

    I’ll buy a zillion dollar airbrush and learn to use it, and feel incentivised to take care of it. I didn’t do the same with my first Jeep when I got into offloading. My first one was a cheap junker that I could roll if I did a rookie move.

    As for a slur for people like me…I dunno, whatever makes you feel superior I guess. If it is creative or funny enough, I’ll happily adopt it and use it 👍
