  • 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.









  • Just how little it seems people in my role seem to actually do or know about their role.

    Also how it seems that every time I try to make requests based on facts, figures and numbers it always ends up being more of a we’ll do things based on the vibe because they don’t need to see the data as they already " know " the data.

    Basically, I make a request for more budget, but I get pushed back your budget should be like Y budget as we have looked at the numbers and deem it so. I have data that proves our budget can’t be like Y budget due to 2 to 3x the workload. Surprised Pikachu face.

    It’s happened to me 3-4 times now and it makes me think maybe I take my job too seriously.


  • 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.

    Press a massive X to doubt on reduction of micro transactions. See halo infinite on that front.

    The reason I personally don’t want this as someone who does not own a PlayStation or a Nintendo console and likely never will is this leads to a future where Microsoft builds up enough IP where suddenly everything is locked into Microsoft game pass and their own store and windows that anyone wanting to use a different platform may as well just fuck off.

    It’s the first step on the road to anti consumer practices that Microsoft has historically always done.
