I had a dongle for an apple phone, but it refused to recognize my hardware so I decided we needed to see other people.

The 2012 macbook air is plenty thin for me. I loved apple laptop hardware, but I’m now buying chromebooks and putting linux on them. Chromebooks have usb ports, are way cheaper even adjusted for differences in chips, AND they still come in the 11" form factor which apple seems to be leaving behind. Done.

I have a pallet of useless cables from devices and connection “standards” long forgotten. If a new(ish) standard like USB-C can replace many different connectors and stabilise things for a while, I’m really not against the initial disruption. I’ll miss the SD slot for dumping my camera memory, though. It was nice not having to fetch the cable. Having said that, it’s increasingly likely my next camera will wirelessly sync my files to my laptop/cloud anyway.

I don’t dislike the new Apple machines, at all. My issue is that Apple could sell a bunch of nicely designed, relatively thin and light actual pro laptops that are 5 pounds and an inch thick. It would be a profitable machine, and a very useful machine. I don’t understand why they don’t bother with it.

It’s funny for the first 45 seconds.
It’s been a month since I’ve laughed hard enough to bring tears to my eyes. Thank you.
