        Its a Media access control address, AKA MAC address that he bought ofc. It lives inside his ethernet card.

        I’m up too early, sorry.

        Because they don’t know that MAC is media access control, and Mac is Macintosh.

        I suspect it’s the “Mac vs PC” stereotype, and they think C stands for computer and MA stands hell knows for what. Because a PowerPC PC is not a PC, and an ARM PC is not a PC, and a SPARC PC is not a PC (OK, it’s a workstation, of the noble blood, not like the rest), and I think I’ve lost my thought.

        My reaction would not be switching to MacOS, because for something the users of which look down on Linux and FreeBSD, with all that “just works” and “made for Terrans” pathos, it surely is frustrating to use.

        Just some well-supported enough Linux would do.

        It’s like in Unpretty, that 90s song by TLC:

        you can buy your hair if it won’t grow

        you can fix your nose if you say so

        you can buy all the iPhones that MAC can make
