    Wanted something relatively new and didn't want to risk getting a laptop with a butteryfly keyboard. I already had a 13" laptop pouch laying around so I was kinda gravitating towards that size; now I can take my laptop and tablet in a small pouch instead of having to take them in my briefcase. Amen to that.
  2. Operation Wallet-Plunger has been a success.

    Bought the 512GB model I mentioned in the previous episode for $880.

     

    Gonna justify the purchase by giving away my previous laptop to a family member. #LifeHacks

      That lifehack is my no.1 excuse for any new purchase

      M1 MacBook Air is an interesting choice. When my 2019 16" MBP bites the dust, I am heavily leaning toward a 14". I would like a new 16", but those machines are absolutely massive. My 16" can be a burden sometimes, and now with Apple Silicon the performance is the same across both size classes of Pros. Hopefully I won't need to replace this machine for another 2 years at least.

  3. RE Previous SU.

    Found two M1 MacBook Airs: one with 256GB for about $750 and one with 512GB for about $930. Both have 8GB of RAM and I think both have 8CPU/7GPU cores.

    Can't tell if it's too good to be true though, might need to see it in person.

    Lord have mercy.

    Unfortunately, no.
  5. Since buying an iPhone, I've had the urge to move completely (or at least mostly) to Apple products.

    Can someone talk me out of it... 😅

      No, I can't. I sold my buddy my old 2020 13" MacBook Pro a while ago. He has since gotten himself the M1 iPad Air. He is now considering the iPhone 15 since it's going to have USB-C. It's happening man.

    Apparently it's a land based animal, at least from what I gathered.

    A lot of people are having issues with it.
  8. You can afaik, but, depending on your situation, you'd have to question whether it's worth all the time, money, and effort.

  11. It'll already be on the market if it was viable in any way. Reactions don't last forever. You'll need to constantly replenish the reagents and clean off the products.

    Any flow chart programs you suggest that isn't…

    I used to use this site a couple years ago. https://app.diagrams.net/ Worked well for my needs, but I don't know how it compares to the ones mentioned.
  13. You'll need to download the ISO for whatever OS you're trying to run, then mounting said ISO to the respective VM.

  16. RE: previous SU.

    Ended up getting an iPhone 11 pro (256GB) with 89% battery health for around $440. Market price over here seems to be around $490.

    Would've liked to get the pro max for the screen size ('cause sometimes size does matter), but oh well.

  17. To those who know iphones more than I do, is a used iphone xs max (256gb) with 85% battery health for around US$390 (price converted) a good deal?

    1. DrMacintosh

      DrMacintosh

      No, $390 is too high, $290 maybe if its in really good shape.

      So, it's Xs-sive if it's above 290 USD max? :3

      You should easily be able to get an 11 for that much.

    Haven't been able to find an instance of this meme, so I made it.

    If no one in the linux community made it already then I'm very disappointed.

     

  19. I don't think any of us are affiliated with their admin/mod team so we really can't help you.
  20. Other than the "contact us" option at the bottom of the page, you're SOL.
  21. The output on the motherboard, if any, would be for the onboard graphics. Any outputs on the GPU would be from the GPU itself. The dGPU is usually more powerful than the iGPU, so using that would be better for performance/quality.

    Might try that on a vm before doing it to my laptop. Thanks.
