If you’re buying any Apple product on specs, it’s not for you. 😉

As someone who had an iPod Touch and a Gen 1 iPad ganked by OS updates, I have serious doubts about that.

$599 here, but I also live in a state with no sales tax.

But that’s the 256GB version. 512 is $699.

Of course I have 24TB free on my NAS soooo…

Still not spending $600 on an Apple branded Chromebook.

Yeah, yeah, fanboys are going to go “A18 Pro” vs “AMD Ryzen™ 3 7320U with Radeon™ 610M”

But on the other hand, 15.6" display vs. 13", 120hz vs 60hz, 512gb storage standard vs 256. 65w charger vs. 20w.

Goose it to the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7520U with Radeon™ 610M and it’s still $570.

Prediction - eWaste in less than 2 years. It will only live through 1, maybe 2 OS updates.

I think what PRS is stating is that Valve needs a license for the music to even display the game in their store, which is utter nonsense.

They aren’t claiming the games are infringing, if that were the case with something like Forza, they would go after the game publisher.

It looks like they are trying to say Valve is infringing by having the games in their store.

My mom is not political, I can’t overstate how not-plugged-in she is.

Yesterday, she sent me this:

Got the t-shirt:

2026 has been a hell of a year. I can’t wait for it to be over!

“MARCH 5TH!!!”

Sounds like a California thing!

One question:

"On your first computer, how did you open a program?

Load “*”,8,1 ✅

program.exe ✅

Double click the icon ✅

“Program? Is that like an app?” ❌
