This here. The One True GIF.

If Brent Rambo approves, we do.

I recently read The Shining for the first time, having seen the movie a few times.

Yeah, I get why King was pissy. Look how Kubrick massacred his boy.

Isn’t that where Big Head lived in Silicon Valley?

Yes, true. But have you considered the shareholders?

ACAB, my good chap.

Put this outside a good number of pubs in the UK and you’ll make an absolute killing. It would have to offer a £1 toastie, of course, but the principle is the same.

Yeah, Wine is a thing on Mac too. Never really dug too far into it though. Whisky is easy to use though.

Fortunately, using a neat tool called Whisky, I’m able to install the Windows Steam client, from which I can download and play the Portal games, because they’re proper. But that’s M1/2 only.

Yeah, that’s most often the case. I very rarely install from the App Store unless the software I’m after has a link on their site.

I’m a Mac user, so they made it as simple as possible for our simple brains. That said, no old 32bit Steam games for me ☹️

As someone who’s never used Linux, TIL that software doesn’t work across all flavours of Linux.

Removing the charger from the box does have an environmental benefit. It’s less plastic and manufacturing, and makes the packaging smaller meaning they can ship more products causing fewer transportation emissions.

That it also saves them money is just a massive boon to them.

You mean https://duckduckgo.com?

The first thing I change when I open up a new browser for the first time is change the default search from Google to DDG.

But I can only cancel my subscription once, and I already did, months ago.

Thanks for those links!

Eh, I’ve been using OCLP on a few Macs for the past couple of years and have never had a troubles once they’re set up and running. I’m running Sonoma on my 2014 mini that I’m typing this on, and it’s solid.

But yeah, I have a 2011 mini as well that I use for giving Keynote presentations that I’ll probably leave on Monterey because it huffs and puffs a bit even with that. The lack of official Metal support is a pain, and while OCLP has done a really good job of overcoming it up until Ventura, by all accounts it’s not great under Sonoma. So far.

I’ve been running Sonoma on my 2014 Mac mini for a few weeks now, and it’s been pretty much rock solid. That I was using the beta OS on unsupported hardware via a beta of OCLP without any major issues blew my mind.

The only problems I’m currently having are that Shortcuts don’t work at all for reasons I can’t work out, and haven’t delved into yet, and my Watch only occasionally unlocks it.

Other than that, it’s like Apple only pulls OS support to encourage people to upgrade otherwise perfectly solid hardware…

I thought about putting Linux on my old MacBook before discovering OCLP, but I wouldn’t have had the same syncing between my laptop, my phone and my iPad. Also, it was a pain in the ass on that machine because at the time I only knew about Bootcamp, which wouldn’t work because I’d replaced the DVD drive with a second HDD.

Was this article written by AI, because it’s disjointed as fuck.

Oh aye, I know they’re not claiming tax or anything like that, and I get that it’s essentially just a digital version of having a change pot on the counter, but it still feels like Tesco getting to crow about how much their customers have helped raise, while they’re paying as little as they can legally get away with, y’know?

But ultimately it’s not really rational response, and I know that.
