I have a few 2015 laptops, the last time the apple logo lights up like it damn well should, (and their operating systems are still getting updates almost a decade later) ipods and an iphone 6 I’ve fixed, apple TV because it was cheap enough. all told I’m in it for less than the cost of a new macbook and apple hasn’t got a cent yet. I have an imac from 2008 I found on the side of the road that actually needs linux but a computer of that vintage in 2008 would be a paperweight at best, the fact it’s still useful as a computer at all is astonishing to me.

I had a 7800 with custom bios and ram cart and would play a kaboom hack that started at max difficulty and ramped from there

a lot of early 2000s 2600 homebrews would probably make my list but Thrust+ is the GOAT

I recently got into the apple ecosystem and am loving it.

I know this is a linux community and apple is literally the devil but I haven’t had a bad experience with it yet.

I think I destroyed a USB stick back in the day doing this shit. be careful they don’t lock the stick and if they do make sure you use the program to wipe the stick ASAP before you forget what program you used to make it.

I have a ventoy stick for this exact reason, just copy iso to stick, no need to burn a new one every time.

Depends where it is.

3rd party reviews? Those should be removed. Company website? Knowing they use DHL is very useful to set expectations low.

entirely reasonable for a customer to be upset with poor customer service

oh no

anyway

Vimeo is explicitly not competing with youtube

Best we can do is co-ax

Top will always end up in front of the screen.

I am equally confident there will never be enough time

make some fucking noise

sounds like a lot of work

This is why my machine straight boots into linux and if I want windows I need to use the BIOS boot selector

our current civilization is built on the division of labor. everyone could theoretically produce their own food and that would be more efficient but not enough people have the time or expertise so there will always be some form of moving produce to market and that will always be more efficient at scale.

Those wind powered container ships would be pretty good marketing for a green leaning company (hint hint)

Local production is counter-intuitively worse because you have more people hauling less produce. Even in a clean energy paragdime that’s just excess waste. We need to find a way to be sustainable at scale
