Posted because I kept seeing this quote posted with the names filed off, so I did a quick google search to find the original so I could share it with full attribution.
I'm getting super-spammed with retoots and faves, so I don't need any more.
So what's the market for the Mac Pro that can't be satisfied by the Mac Studio? What's the use case that requires PCI slots you can't use for video cards?
So I just read an article raving about the new search features in Ventura which led me to figure out how to turn web results off in Monterey Spotlight (uncheck Siri in search preferences) because if I want to do a web search I know where my browser is...
But now I want to do the same thing in Windows 11 and I'm damned if I can figure it out. How do you configure the taskbar search results to return stuff on your computer only?
Has anyone ever in the history of everything everywhere actually used a laptop like this with the screen folded back and resting on the edge of the keyboard and screen?
They say "A $799 Android phone would never get away with these specs..."
I wouldn't buy a $799 Android phone either. I'm currently looking at a $399 phone but I may just keep my Pixel 4a another year. I can get a gaming laptop for $800. For $800 I expect a phone with a built-in replicator and sonic screwdriver.

And yes, it's a mite slower than the tap tap keyboards but even rusty as I am (I still have to keep checking the chart) I make fewer mistakes.
I just noticed Ventura removed the national flags from the Input Source menu on the menu bar and I'm legitimately cranky about that. Damn it, Apple, you're turning into IBM.
Dear everyone who makes headphones and similar devices that make a sound when powered on or off.
Do not make that sound the words "power on" and "power off", at least not without also having a rising tone sequence for powering on and a falling tone sequence for powering off.
So back in the '80s I was a strong proponent of being authentic on the Internet and using your real name. My accounts were by preference my first name and my full name was always on all of them. And some time in the '90s I was on the way to Damascus and this bright light came out of the CEO's office and said "our customer is mad because you said our software was unfixable and we had to move to Windows how dare you". ...
