  • Fucking Dementia patient loose and off his meds pretending to run or know anything.

  • The most excellent part is the pricing for it was made up by Altman based on “feels”.

    Burn Rate = “Wildfire Rate”

  • Hey, let’s not infringe on someone’s personal freedoms!

  • I mean that's the second best time to do it.

  • "Ah and now to clear up this tea service on our outside porch after rain."

    "Oh dear."

  • Silence, consumer!

  • Oh sure, sure. But the last time I had to troubleshoot my main system was . . . Probably a decade ago. I troubleshoot rebuilding old ones or some twit friend-or-family that has to run some microsoft garbage but for me, troubleshooting’s like - nothin’ at all! . . . nothin’ at all! . . . nothin’ at all!

  • Ah yes. I know you. You didn't swelter under the obnoxious blaring idiocy of Windows long enough. You're either too young to be terrorized by winsock issues or nerdy enough to have bypassed all gravitational social tech support requirements in the 90's/2000's.

    Either way, the inevitable troubleshooting still holds appeal of some sort, and that's good. I've got a couple of classic stinkpads running various flavors of (well, I'm sure all Debian really) and they're lots of fun, it's true. But the idea that I can use a single laptop for weeks or even months without ever once encountering an error or odd behavior or required updates or even restarting is wonderful enough for me to be happy with it.

    It's like if you ever got an ink-tank printer and suddenly didn't worry about buying printer cartridges anymore. That feeling of enlightenment, like there's a whole level of experience where no one gives a shit how many pages of things they print because it's free. Glorious.

  • Silence! No questions! You will be assimilated!

  • Tbf, I haven't touched a Mac in ages (and never personally owned one in my life), because the combination of the "luxury(tm)" device tax and Apple's vindictive anti-repair stance (and their walled garden on principle but that's not relevant here) basically put them on my "never buy and never recommend" list.

    All good points. So here's what ya do - slide on over to your favorite used gear hub and pick up a 10 year old 8GB model for like $50 or $100. These things sold for thousands back in the day but now they're just beautiful old advanced-for-the-time hardware (that often run linux super easy if you get bored).

    A little research will keep you to the ones that can be upgraded easily.

    Grok all the rounded edges and backlit island glass-touchpad beautifulness. Wonder at how they got a good sound from tiny speakers in 1847 or whatever. Enjoy kicking around the candy colored icons and see how the configurations are just two clicks to wherever you want to be. It's like a vacation from scrolling through a textfile. Or, get jiggy with the BSD and go nuts. Get a free apple ID and smile guiltily when all your other cheap rescues line up behind it and interact seamlessly.

    Just don't use your real name, keep behind your favorite recipe of networking, etc., obvs. And you might decide it's a good thing.

  • Unlike the federal workers who have one IT person per 200 people, they have 200 IT people for one person.

  • Well if we’re talkin linux the sky’s the limit.

  • The secret to apple is: wait 10 years, buy it for next to nothing: enjoy.

  • eeWHAAAAaaaaa???!

  • Fair enough then, enjoy.
