I don’t think I can afford a Model M but I was able to find another IBM keyboard from the same era on eBay with some very minor cosmetic defects.

Good call on the intellimouse. Thank you!

Seems like a pretty reasonable place to draw the line in the sand. Most people can’t safely manage their data and communication privacy because they aren’t tech people and as much as apple’s privacy stances are mostly marketing related. Out of the box and low configuration it’s more secure and private than using a stock Google device.

Encrypted at rest data storage with ADP, encrypted messaging, zero touch VPN with safari private browsing. It’s easy to recommend Apple products to privacy conscious but not tech literate friends. Or at least it was until the pivot to bend the knee to the current administration

Sad how in 2025 this applies to pretty much every country

Back when I had a folding phone (a moto razr for 6 months in 2021), you don’t really notice it when you are daily driving it.

My concerns lie with the durability of a foldable. My razr just one day had dead pixels show up and then a week later the entire digitizer of the touch screen stopped responding to touch input.

I may be interested in the clamshell foldable if they never replace the 13 mini with another small phone. I don’t want these huge phones and especially not one that folds open into a tablet

Here’s why

Yeah right. The idiom is a thousand monkeys with typewriters could eventually produce the entire works of Shakespeare, not end users.

Voters are literally the ones who elect the government so….

Not everyone who is right wing is a loser. Everyone in that crowd was though

Considering the audience is made up of right wing losers, you aren’t 100% wrong. He was giving a very special wave to the audience

It isn’t if you are privileged, the same as the US

Is Elon trying to say he deleted his own brain because his behavior would prove that theory

Unfortunately it’s going to be even bigger than the pro according to rumors. -posted from my iphone13 mini

Sorry that happened to you. I haven’t had any bad experiences but the right to repair is tantamount so that way you can still repair phones long beyond the time frame the manufacturer arbitrarily decides to support

I’ve switched between android and iOS several times at this point.

Probably the best things about android is the ability to use custom ROMs and alternative apps stores such as GrapheneOS and fdroid.

If you are switching to get into the Google ecosystem, I think that is probably a mistake. In my opinion the ecosystem is vastly inferior to their Apple counterparts, and even the parts that are better, such as drive and gsuite, are just as good, if not better supported on iOS.

Whenever I was in android it was because the software was more open or there was some novel hardware that ended up not being as good or apple caught up (such as the galaxy phone being bigger and more capable at the time or the new Moto Razr being a clamshell flip, ended up breaking after 6 months)

In either case I switched back

One thing to note, is that if you use more than 1 external monitor, you need the Pro or need to install a third party program such as Display Link manager to use multiple DisplayLink compatible displays

M2 air can handle any work load I throw at it. Mine is mostly programming though. For rendering 4k video, you might benefit from a pro. Make sure you get at least 16GB of RAM no matter which one you choose

It’s like 8 total games. They are probably going for their stupid drip release strategy.

Buy physical, dump the cart and then install it digitally to whatever damn device I please

Did he just call to say “Hey my name is Tim Cook, not Tim Apple” because I doubt that he would be able to have any kind of conversation more substantive than that with DJT
