Acid

Depends on the time of the year,

During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days

I’m half way on that journey, went from Rpi4 to M2 Mac Mini to host docker stuff and god knows how much in hard drives.

Really should look at used ones

And that is exactly why I bought an M2 Air this year, price vs performance nothing beats the MacBooks at the moment.

I used IRC daily religiously for 15 years, but around 2011 I just stopped and never got back into using it. The client of choice was Xchat.

Apple Pay every day, and before that Google Pay. I haven’t really used cash in years.

There’s a very rare exception for like one store I visit that requires cash with an ATM next-door so I just pay by cash then but otherwise I’m using my phone/watch for all payments.

I don’t think I would want to live in a world without cheese.

I refused to buy Apple products for 15 years. Recently I grabbed a whole set of them and honestly, there’s only one thing I can say. It just fucking works.

I’ve been using Linux/Windows for the better part of two decades and I’m just at a point where I don’t care to tinker anymore unless I have to, I just wanna have stuff that works especially when it’s related to work stuff. Apple stuff is just reliable in that sense, oh my Android phone decided to crash on itself? Yeah my iPhone has had 0 crashes all year I’ve owned it. My M2 Macbook Air has superior battery life and portability at a more reasonable price than pretty much any competitor on the market?

Yes certain Apple things are beyond stupid expensive, Hello Apple TV 4K 128gb being £180 on launch?

But when I want something to work and not have to think about it, the apple stuff fits that need.

What would you describe as large?

The company I work for is a multinational at this point and exclusively uses Google for Mail/Docs. We have I think 600 stores now across 12 countries.

I don’t think you should be afraid of asking for help, the ones that will offer help are usually going to be very patient.

in recent years I’d say Dizzie Rascal.

In my entire lifetime that award goes to Mandela

I haven’t seen all of them in person, but the other day someone showed me the StarLite which is their budget laptop and honestly it really surprised me. The only thing with similar build quality I’ve seen at such a low price was the google pixel book go which can be had used absurdly cheap.

I think they’re the company I’d use to buy Linux laptops if I used one daily, these days I use a MacBook Air m2 simply because the battery life beats all and for how I work that’s what I need most.

If you’re genuinely looking for Linux Laptops I’d take a look at https://starlabs.systems/pages/starfighter

Yeah that’s a no go mate, I couldn’t even do my job if I had a £100 phone it would end up being a cluster fuck as I need to constantly look at spreadsheets, and multiple email inboxes and work through a web Ui portal and none of that is gonna be a good experience on a phone at that price.

I’ve used enough of those cheap £100 phones be they new or second hand to know for someone who’s actually using their phone to do work they are completely unsuitable.

The first Mad Max movie, just feels like a slog at times to get through and when you finally finish it there’s no resolution it’s just a cliffhanger into the next movie.
