Oh fork! This was the Bad Place all along!

Hear me out, but pickle pizza is pretty damn good. The sauce is mayo, sour cream, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.

The paleo diet exists.

Has anyone asked the Polish if they’re ok?

The Apple TV remote is rechargeable, though not backlit.

The US election cycle is continuous. Someone will win in November, there’ll likely be some bullshit to keep it in the news until inauguration day, then give a week before the party that lost starts the process of finding their pick to contest the next election.

From a foreign perspective it’s tedious as fuck. Our elections are called and wrapped up within 8 weeks, and even that feels too long.

I do have ADHD, and while I can manage meal prep, 99% of the time I just can’t be bothered. But I force myself to do it, because the alternative is eating a bag of crisps and a big bar of chocolate and feeling like crap all afternoon.

Exactly. So she’d be dressed like a lumberjack as opposed to working as a lumberjack.

Yep, we’re in the right place, boys.

Not with that attitude.

Farting in the office must be doubly awkward.

Yep, that’s the one. Utter shithouses.

Yes, I can’t see why people would hear ‘Autopilot’ and think it had anything at all to do with full self driving.

Opencore Legacy Patcher, but for cars. Nice.

This was really thrown into sharp focus for me a couple of years back, when I read an article about how people with ocular implants are being left to go blind again because the company who made their implant has been bought by another company who doesn’t want to continue support.

I just can’t think about how callous that is, and if a company doesn’t give a shit about that, why would they give a shit about a car?

Because a huge part of their business model over the past twenty years has been the upsell.

I bought my first MacBook in 2007. It had 2gb of RAM as standard. I asked about upgrading it, the guy told me to pick some up online as it would be waaaay cheaper, and he was right. Did the same for the MacBook Pro that replaced it a few years later, but in the meantime they moved to the soldered model so had to swallow the cost of the 16gb ‘upgrade’ in my M2 Air.

To be fair, the cost over time of my Macs has been incredible. My 2011 MBP is still trucking along, these days running Linux Mint. With the cost to upgrade the RAM and replace the HDD with an SSD, all in it cost me around £1200. Less than £100 a year for a laptop that still works perfectly fine.

I thought that too, but just looking at his channel it seems that he’s only done the storage on an M1 mini, not RAM.

It’s telling that my piracy of music all but disappeared when Apple Music came along. (Almost) Everything I want to hear is right there on my phone. I don’t have to switch between different services to find artists.

Now, whether such enormous consolidation of the record companies, allowing that kind of setup, is a good thing is another discussion…

Yeah, I’ve thought about this too.

Apple update their OSs annually now because the shareholders demand constant evolution, meaning the devs have to constantly be on top of changes to the OS. And it’s fucking exhausting how badly it affects us all.

Sadly.
