    I teach computer engineering, and Macs have gone from wonderful to the bane of labs in the last decade. Students never have the right dongle, the permissions are a mess, compilers are locked down. It’s sad actually. Macs took over cs departments and a lot of tech usage, but they seem to have entirely turned their back on that audience
