What BS!

I DID buy a new computer; MacBook!

Anyway…

There may be a lot of garbage on Reddit, but the subreddits I read are non political, and tech mouthpieces like MacRumors and zdnet are easily scrolled past. I usually get the best info about obscure issue, old and new, on Reddit. So i hope that there will remain somewhere, a searchable archive to supplement whatever platform us nerds will go to next.

Maybe “The Space Merchants”? They sell land on Venus because life really sucks on Earth. But will it be better elsewhere?

I’ve never had a pc get to 10 years old before upgrading. I fully expect my MacBook to meet my needs (which don’t include rending animations or editing video) for the rest of my life (I’m 65) OR at least 10 years.

I may not have 10 years left in my life cycle!

Someone has to say it: I bought a MacBook!

It doesn’t matter. If the CD/DVD works, copy it immediately. If not, so sorry.

LibreOffice works on MacOS too!

It’s hard for people who haven’t experienced the loss of experts to understand. Not a programmer but I worked in aerospace engineering for 35 years. The drive to transfer value to execs and other stakeholders by reducing the cost of those who literally make that value always ends costing more.

I made the switch too! I bought a MacBook! After 40 years of MS OSes, Outlook-online and Windows 11 made me quit. And so far so good!

But if hackers steal all the secrets, Chump won’t be able to use them to make deals!!

/s !!

Exactly!
