God I’m glad Apple exists

You mustn’t do much walking in your life then.

If I had to commute by car every day in traffic… that would absolutely suck. Hopping on the train always feels better though. I get to see random people, relax, listen to music, no…

I’d like to see this asshole waste 2h every day in public transport and get less work done because of a noisy open-plan office.

Truly insane

I bet if you have a female name, more drivers will actually try and bring it to the door (which may be up a flight of stairs) rather than calling you to come down and get it. There…

I’ll bet I can tell which version is LaTeX or Word.

3 weeks ago my iPad got dropped in water for half a second, then stopped turning on the next day. I booked it in for ‘repair’ at apple, only to be told “sorry, you don’t have apple…

What else can you do but look at files and code to figure out problems? And why use a monospace font for prose? I agree otherwise though, it can bite you in the arse if you don’t u…

The difference is that you’re cocooned in a tonne of steel, hurtling along at speeds which kill pedestrians. The onus is on both parties to be vigilant, but it’s more on you as a d…

No bootcamp for apple silicon Macs. And virtualisation would introduce too much input lag.

I discovered a strange third place last night: a Counter Strike Source server in my country. It had about ten different people talking over voice chat. They were all very frank and…

But how is input lag? That’s a crucial factor for counter strike.

This is stupid. There’s been an explosion in the number of gaming-capable Macs since the M-series chips came out. It’s remained largely untapped. The reason “there aren’t enough pl…

‘_get_change’ is written so poorly

It is very ugly

Looks like it’s out now.

Time to move to MacPorts.

Yes, this is true. I’m a transport engineer and can confirm that roads are designed for a truck’s weight and cars hardly register in terms of damage.

Yes. Just bought a HP-15c reissue.
