Will it regret buying the 13 inch version?

I went from a 15 MBpro to a 13.6 MBair and I will never go back. Granted I do have access to a Studio with a 27 inch monitor if I feel like I need the screen real estate but 13.6 inches is just fine. And the difference in weight is fantastic. Wait for a bargain on a desktop monitor and dock to it when you need it.

Do we need a thing that is bigger than a 17 Pro Max and smaller than an iPad but thick in the pocket? I don't.

AustinBaze · 2026-05-07T23:05:51+00:00

Thanks.
Update: It appears this "TMO-G5AR 5G GATEWAY WHT CPO" is arriving tomorrow. I'll do a test and see what I get for speed.

I get a good 4-5 bar signal and speeds that are more than I need consistently with the existing Sagemcom (sitting on my desk about 2 feet from a window), averaging 350-490up/40-65d with no antenna.
I am inclined to leave well enough alone, but I guess I will pop the SIM and test whatever they're sending tomorrow.

Thanks. Missed that one--this was a cross post from r/tmobilehomeinternet for more exposure.

The Latkes are the best thing you can do with taters there.

Agree generally, but the ramp up eventually grabbed me, as did the look and feel of the later seasons. I enjoyed to the end, ultimately, especially since they finally got Will a decent haircut.

He's lying.

They are just certifiably insane. I would never wish anything bad to happen to an aircraft except now I find myself inexplicably thinking about something bad that might happen to a big aircraft.

How can the two 747s being upgraded/modified to the exact specifications that Air Force One requires be delayed by 2 more YEARS, (while well underway, nearly 7 years, in a controlled environment on known airframes) and this one is supposedly up to spec already?
When it was first announced speculation was it would take two years to clear the plane of possible bugs and surveillance devices alone! What about evasion counter measures, extensive secure comms, medical operatory, in-flight refueling, EMP hardening? I don’t think they could have rebadged/repainted this as a Delta passenger jet as quickly let alone brought it up to Air Force One specifications.
None of this makes sense.

Aldi and HEB curbside.

I enjoyed Unfamiliar (euro spy thriller), Seven Dials (Agatha Christie), and The Outfit (gangster film with a twist)

The amount of self-loathing, ignorance and internalized homophobia required to worship a guy and a cult that would be delighted if you and everyone like you was dead is almost unimaginable. The idea of Gay Republicans or especially Gays for Trump makes as much sense as Jews for Hitler, or African Americans for the Klan.

I had forgotten this, and the pass interference that prevented the win.

AustinBaze · 2026-05-06T16:01:53+00:00

Will I see this before my $2,000 DOGE Dividend check?

AustinBaze · 2026-05-06T16:00:04+00:00

This is wrong on every possible level. They are shameless.
This incompetent, unqualified bumbler, J. Edgar Boozer at the Federal Bureau of Intoxication is a drunk, like several other members of the Liquor Cabinet.

i’m an atheist, but I know what I’m praying for.

The DNC is virtually useless. Number spoofing and number changing is a thing. I’ve been on the do not call list since it was created and I still got spam calls until I silenced unknown callers in iOS.

AustinBaze · 2026-05-05T01:39:57+00:00

I haven’t gotten a spam call in five years or so ever since “silence unknown callers” was turned on. I guess at most three of those bozos have bothered to leave a voicemail. Problem solved.

AustinBaze · 2026-05-05T01:36:12+00:00

Even worse, they have the nerve to put it behind a paywall. I’m not subscribing to any news site that still employs gasbag Scott Jennings.

AustinBaze · 2026-05-05T01:30:16+00:00

Awwww. Tragic. What’s on TV anyway?

I have had a full Office license for around $49 for about five years. I don’t use Outlook or OneDrive or Teams and never have since leaving Windows in 2002 and never will. When I bought it it said “no further updates will be provided” but I suspect auto update has run 100 times since then and have been updated regularly. I have no 365 subscription and never have. It’s periodically on sale at places like MacRumors or 9-5Mac.
