My work got me an Macbook M3. After two weeks of dicking around with it, I went back to my Thinkpad. I don’t get it at all. I thought at least the hardware would be great, but I hate the hardware too. Too heavy, aluminum case feels fucking cold to the touch, screen still isn’t bright enough to work outside, keyboard has that fucked up layout. And although the M-series sets a nice trend, it currently cannot run GNU/Linux without lots of reverse engineering, so fuck that. My 2014 gen Thinkpad is a far better experience. I’m now even more convinced than ever that Apple is just a marketing cult.

I wish I had that choice, but my options right now are upgrade to an M3 now or wait until our stock runs out and get an M4. For now, I’ve decided to wait.

I have the same gripe with the aluminum chassis on laptops. I got a cheap Thinkpad Chromebook for personal use and even though the material on the X1 Carbons is a fingerprint magnet, at least it isn’t chilly every time you rest your hands on it.

Jobs was an idiot. Chose homeopathic crap instead of medicine. I don’t give him credit for anything if he’s that dumb.

He’s free to do that, sure, but anyone doing so is safe to be labeled “moron” by everyone else.

Unless I’ve heard a messed up version of events he will stay in the “idiots that were not beneficial to humans in any way” trash can.

He had one of the few treatable forms of pancreatic cancer and skipped the only known treatment in favour of homeopathic.

If he had “normal” pancreatic cancer I’d maybe give him some slack. It’s just not treatable. But what he had was probably survivable had he treated it immediately.

Well if the treatment is specifically miserable, that could be a factor.

The treatment was surgery. Not even weeks/months of chemo.

His treatment of “eat exclusively one type of fruit a week” IIRC almost hospitalized Kushner when he replicated it while doing the biopic.

Apple absolutely does NOT slow old phones when they send out new updates. Anymore.

I am almost certain, Google is doing the same with the pixels. My Pixel 6 suddenly lags or doesn’t react on inputs.

GrapheneOS.

Or maybe try looking at battery usage. Android is a piece of shit, including the apps included in it. Maybe an update changed the way one of them worked.

I think I’ll need stock Android due to those two factor authentication apps for banking, which are not allowing to be ran on custom or rooted phones.

I really loved Cyanogen tho …
