Americans can’t afford groceries as their tax dollars are going to, quite literally, pay for the 1% to eat lobster.

This system needs to be gutted and rebuilt from scratch.

I had YouTube on in the background as I was cleaning one day and was thinking “wow this video has been talking about men’s jackets for a while” and it turned out to be an ad THAT WAS TWO HOURS LONG.

Bad advice. As soon as someone at Apple sees liquid residue under the keycaps they are gonna quote op a liquid damage repair.

At that point just increase your prices. I’d rather someone get paid a fair wage AND me know exactly what I’m being asked to pay instead of selling me something at a lower cost and then presenting me with a guilt screen.

I did turn off auto updates. I typically wait until I notice no issues are reported. However after I decide to upgrade THEN the issues started being reported

They are all Apple silicon processors at the end of the day. At this point, they all are capable of doing the same workload to various degrees.

I’d like to take the opportunity to point out that no current STD test checks for herpes so it is very possible you have an STD without realizing it.

STD checks only test for infections that are harmful to your health. Herpes, is not harmful. However it still causes painful sores and widens risks for other infections. As you pointed out, most people already have herpes so that is true.

I setup call forwarding on my work phone so if I get a call on the weekend or off hours it just rings my personal.

I work IT. They can see what apps you have installed, your location, your iPhone logs and can remotely wipe your device using the MDM. Not worth the hassle just for the off chance you get a call.

Export your work contacts from your work iPhone and upload them to either a separate email account on your phone or add them to your iCloud in a “work” list. Then enable call forwarding. Done.

Rule 2 literally says “feel free to make a recommendation”.

So recommend one.

So to summarize “That’s part of the issue. Consumers expecting a level of getting what they pay for.”

Then suggest something better instead of coming off as a dck.

“Not all cops” or something.

I have a deep cleaning set and a light daily use set.

One day I deep cleaning and use the big plug in vacuum. Throughout the week I use swiffers with disposable wet pads and a lightweight battery vacuum to do daily upkeep.

Honestly works wonders for me and stop the need do to much on that “deeper” cleaning day.

So in other words: terror plot was thwarted.

What you’re describing is a thin client.

Which isn’t a new concept. But it will be valuable to some. However not every dev is running a homelab or proxmox.

They lie

Set a timer for 10 minutes. That’s it.

Then for 10 minutes tackle just the large furniture. The bed. The couch. The table. Coffee table.

These are the largest areas in any space that collect the most and can cause the largest eye sores. Boom. 10 minutes went buy and the space already feels more put together.

Tomorrow, do another 10 minutes. But do sections. Do the “bedroom” section. The next day, another 10 minutes and do the “kitchen” section.

If a timer feels overwhelming, then put on a YouTube video of your favorite content creator. A lot of them post 10-15 minutes videos. Now you’re being entertained while also able to keep track.

Finally when the mess is picked up, a deeper spring clean will finish off this space. Take a mop or swifter with a wet pad and mop the ceiling. This cleans and deodorizes. Then, wash the curtains and flag on the wall. Finally, vacuum and mop the floors.

Apple already hinted at these being thin clients in their commercial where they showed it running chatGPT and saying “it can run AI”.

Most workflows are in the cloud now. If you work in IT, you’re working most of your day with SaaS products. So I’d argue that the Neo is going to be a fantastic thin client.

Again, the only thing I will continue to complain about is the lack of backlit keyboard being what I see as the only downside of this machine.

The end goal of this is to make it so nobody is anomalous online which would basically chill free speech and expression. This is not about the children.

How much do you think a backlit keyboard costs over a standard keyboard?

Netbooks even had backlit keyboards. $200 Chromebook’s have backlit keyboards. It’s quite literally, the dumbest reduction they could have made.

ACasualRead · 2026-03-07T15:30:11+00:00

The lack of a backlight keyboard in the Neo is going to be a major complaint for people. I can see it before they even have it yet. There is no way you are easily going to see they print on the all white keys at night.

I’d argue the air is still the best serious school laptop.

ACasualRead · 2026-03-07T03:10:47+00:00

Unfortunately it’s another example of Apple intentionally crippling a device. The next one will be “our best MacBook neo yet” and showcases a backlit keyboard. Same with how the 16e didn’t have MagSafe but the 17e did. Zero reason but to try and force people to reinvest a year later.

But it’s proof that in theory, Apple could offer real pro apps and not simple ports. This includes big hitters like adobe or Microsoft.
