@matigo considering it’s been almost four years and we typically put out one a week, 200 episodes is about right. 😉
In a world where I feel so small
I can’t stop thinking big

@japchap Yes it is. It's a work machine and I've already asked for a replacement.
@japchap the M1 machine I have from work also has a Touch Bar. It’s gotten so dysfunctional that I have a cron job that kills the TouchBarService process every two minutes so it doesn’t disrupt my work.
Yeah, that’s getting replaced.
@japchap The first computer I was exposed to was an Apple ][ in 1978. Needless to say, I've been all-in on Apple since birth. :)
The one reason I buy Apple hardware is that it, for the most part, it lasts a long time. And while I may have bought a new Apple phone every (other) year, the old devices are usually handed down to someone else. The computers…only when needed. I own M1, M3, and M4-based system and, other than the amount of RAM in the M1 system, it's more than adequate.
@matigo I learned a similar concept through Stoicism, namely that you can control only two things: your actions and reactions. Worrying about things outside of your control is a waste of energy.
I've also learned to be a lot more selective about who I allow into my life and who and under what circumstances I provide assistance to others, which you should definitely do. It's good for your soul.

@japchap You both might appreciate this photo when I briefly worked for Netscape in 1997. The Internet Explorer team pranked Netscape by putting a large IE logo on their lawn.
The response? This photo. Not sure I have the original photo anymore, but I do have a copy of the German computer magazine c'T where the photo was part of a story about Netscape.

@matigo no, but I did get confirmation on some things I’ve been feeling as of late.
