Thunderbird doesn’t understand aliases by default (apple’s mail apps on MacOS and iOS do). You’d need to add the alias under Account Settings -> Manage Identities for each alias (which is any custom email domain accounts you add, assuming you want to send mail as that user). There is only one account: the iCloud login. Everything else is treated as an alias, and doesn’t create its own inbox - everything goes into the singular inbox.

As the other posts said, email won’t migrate automatically. The easy way to do it, though, is setup your old email and the iCloud email in email and just drag and drop your email from the old email to your new iCloud one.

For #3, you need to log in to your iCloud account, head to the profile and security options, and make an application password.

Thunderbird will find all the appropriate settings once you provide your main iCloud email, and you just need to use the application password and everything will just work.

I’m going to disagree with the OCLP people: it’s a fine project, but it’s absolutely horrible to deal with from an end-user perspective because they’ll update something without realizing it’s going to break something, and now you have to deal with someone’s computer not working and get to maintain it.

If you can move to Linux, and she’s happy with that, then great. Though you’d probably want normal Fedora, and not Asahi since it’s not a M1/M2-based Mac.

But it sounds like she wants MacOS and, unless you want to fiddle with something that’s finicky, failure-prone, and not guaranteed to work in the future, just go buy a used/refurbished M1 for like $600, and then not worry about it for the next 5-10 years.

Object skipping is a most welcome addition, especially given I’ve had a couple of print failures when a super skinny tall thing gets wonky and I’m forced to chuck it all to try again.

Geeky yes, but Mark Lenard is great in every appearance.

Balance of Terror from TOS is, without any doubt, my favorite Star Trek episode.

To be fair to Hogwarts Legacy, I would strongly suspect that a good number of the people actually playing that are actual children that probably need someone to point out things like that to them, since they probably don’t have the same level of experience playing games as you do.

However, if I hear one more thing about how travel was so inconvenient before the invention of floo powder, I’m going to punch something.

Yep, you’ll only get content that someone on your instance has subscribed to, so if that’s the only subscription that’s the only content that’ll show up.

Nope, assuming the default settings - that is, they’ve not explicitly decided to allowlist selected servers or block yours - there’s nothing that instance has to do if you subscribe to a community on it.

They’ll push content to you and it just magically works.

TLDR: federation is basically a push from the origin server (the one the community belongs to) to any server that subscribes to that community.

The IBM name, build quality, warranty and whole nobody-got-fired-buying-IBM helped, but don’t undersell 80 column text mode: if you wanted to do Real Business Stuff, 40 column just didn’t cut it, which wrote off a LOT of the cheaper competition. CP/M machines could be 80 column, but they also weren’t required to as there was no default terminal expectation. You’d end up with close-but-not-quites pretty often, even on the upper-end of the price scale.

And yes, the Apple II had 80 column mode, but again, it wasn’t exactly the cheaper option.

IBM entered the market at exactly the right time, with the right machine, with the right features, at a price that wasn’t incredibly outside of reality and sold an awful lot of them.

It’s a valid point, and it’s really silly that something like a M2-based iPad can’t be used to write software it can run.

There’s no excuse given that it’s fast, you can add a keyboard and even a monitor to it, but you just… can’t use it that way because Apple said no.

I know it’s to make Apple sell more hardware, and maintain control of the ecosystem to extract their 30% rent, but I mean, you could still do that and have a full IDE on the platform.
