Well yeah, but that’s a recent development

You have to identify yourself to the bank, so I’d say using a VPN for banking is actually a bad idea because now you’re attaching your identity to the VPN traffic.

Honestly, yeah. I wishlisted it and will wait for a sale.

You completely skipped the “keep backups” part which prevents most of this.

I have stepped out of it. It’s not that painful. I keep hearing this walled garden stuff applied to Macs, yet somehow I play Switch games on Mac OS 🤔

You’ve sold me on giving it a shot!

Sick. Now when do those Graphene Motorolas come out?

My iPhone syncs to my Mac wirelessly. I open Photos, I drag and drop to desktop.

I’m trying to figure out how to replicate this on Linux before I switch to Graphene and Linux fully.

I think it was better solely for the fact that you wouldn’t get ads in your search results

They do exist. I bought one at the gas station, but it buzzes when I have it charging while playing music. :/

What about dumber birds that would also be attracted to the feeders?

Don’t you know? You have to fix every problem all at once or you shouldn’t even try. It’s the same reason we shouldn’t bother with renewables.

Baku is a beautiful city

Haha the cops one reminds me of a couple weeks ago…

I took the train without tapping my card (omg I know!)

A bunch of cops were blocking the exit when I got off checking people’s cards.

The only way out is through.

So I hand one of them my card, he taps his little machine and hands it back. I see the little wheel is still spinning and just walk off, normally, but maybe a little quickly. 😆

He’s chilled out in the modern age 🤷‍♂️

This why I only buy games on Steam for $20 or less. Once I’ve played them it’s not as big a deal if they disappear since I’ve spent more than that on lunch

Admittedly, I’ve been a Mac fan since I was a kid, first home PC was an Apple IIGS. The Mac mini is the way to go. You save like $1000 just by not paying for the monitor and other accessories. I use an apple monitor from 2011 that I got for $100 in 2020 and a Samsung TV for the second one. Logitech keyboard and mouse, MSI controller. I’ve always bought them second hand, usually a year behind. I’m a fan, not a glazer. ;)

However, I am trying to de-corpify my digital life, as I like to call it, so only my daily driver is still a Mac. My old mini now runs Mint as my home server and my MacBook also runs mint. (It’s an older one, any work I do other than paperwork is done on the other machine)

Naturally I started with an iPhone because they work so well together. However, once I can get my hands on one of those Motorola Graphene phones, I plan to ditch Mac OS for Linux on my daily driver. (An M4 mini that I got for $600CAD floor model right before the prices went up)

I’ll probably stick with second-hand Mac hardware (or floor models) though.

I use a Mac and play Nintendo games on it. Walled garden my ass.

With Mac OS, the walled garden is there, but it’s easy to get out of. No “hacking” required, just gotta know where to click. It’s just not obvious so dummies don’t fuck up their computers.

Same to you. Good day.
