No it does not. Anyone who refers to a functional machine as a paperweight should be involuntarily committed to a psychiatric hospital for evaluation.

“Functional machine” is the working term here. But I guess we have different definitions of what counts as “functional” :)

We do not have different definitions of a functional machine. If you think they’re overpriced, fine; underperforming per price:performance ratio? Fine. Whatever you want. But brand new Apple products work and you all sound ridiculous defending calling them paperweights.

Bro what? It’s a greentext - it’s 4chan. They all need theraphy.

Sure, but does nobody know what a paperweight is?
Cassa@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 hours ago
No, they probably don’t 😅 just like floppy disks. The term now generally means “useless”

Yes. The person who correctly points out that functional computers are not paperweights is a cultist. If you legitimately believe that, you need a whole lot worse than prison.

Apple don’t make computers, they make wealth extractors.
