How is apple music ? What do you like about it?
I just use the basic functionality (playlist, radio, etc) and seems to have all my fav music + I have the Apple One subscription so it comes with storage, news, etc.

F: marketplace Apple: iphone, macbook, map Amazon: shopping, aws, audible N: bittorrent Netflix originals Google: search, YouTube, gmail
My new company uses Google workspace. For the first time in my life I am missing a Microsoft product - OneNote. It is a damn good product and nothing else comes closer to it.
TC or GTFO. Ride freaking share?
AWS : every single website or technology you touch
Are they particularly good at websites? I don't work in cloud, but I am aware the GCP/ Azure are gaining on AWS and their position isn't unassailable. Market share in the 40's vs 30's and 10's springs to mind
In my opinion, there are better alternatives to every Google product except for Google search. For instance, Apple Maps offers more natural driving instructions in the US compared to Google Maps, which tends to provide directions based on distances rather than landmarks. In terms of content recommendations, I find that TikTok and Facebook Reels provide more interesting suggestions compared to YouTube, whose recommender system I find terrible. While many people seem to prefer Google's office suite to Microsoft Office, I believe that Microsoft Office is more powerful. For example, designing a professional and visually appealing animated slide is significantly easier using PowerPoint compared to Google Slides, which lacks advanced animation and drawing capabilities.
Lol u hater. FB reels being better than YT … what about GMail, Chrome, etc ?
Chrome is objectively bad. Extremely memory hungry. I see 0 benefit of using chrome over edge (which runs on the same engine). Gmail is okay. Prefer it over Outlook's mess.
