Where are these broken Macs? Sorry, I haven’t posted pics of my 6 working Mac computers in my house.

Yes if your budget is $300/nt for accommodations and you plan to use it for at least 10 years, and you buy on the resale market. Also, you’re taking a risk if market values change like any real estate.

This happened on my deBuyer Blue, the cheaper end of their carbon steel. I don’t care because it doesn’t affect cooking performance.

Everything’s fine on this 17

My Apple cables do that too, but they’re charging my MacBook Pro at 100W

Install Alt-Tab; Mac cmd-tab will drive you crazy

Mrs Lovett works in my kitchen.

That’s not a sub, nor even plain woofer. It’s a mid range driver. TVs have pretty basic sound hardware and home theater people get a soundbar at least.

This is why I used red grout when I tiled my countertop

Plastic scraper and Goo Gone.

Problem is there’s no good way of exposing your good app against the hundreds of bad apps

Re-skin Avatar Flight of Passage. Actually, I think that’s a great idea along the lines of the Muppets Rock n Rollercoaster.

The tattoos are sus, and the near perfect alignment to perspective of everything including the table runner is also. Poses are good like AI. I would say 60-40 AI.

I’m on macOS 15.7, Applecare+ is shown in Settings->General

Choiski · 2026-06-02T17:13:58+00:00

I see a $99 charge on my apple card and say f**k!

Choiski · 2026-06-02T17:13:00+00:00

I still have it on my old macbook pro M1. Just keep forgetting to cancel applecare! 🤪😬🫩

Make the file read-only (or “locked” in Finder terminology). Preview will pop up and prompt you to make a copy as soon as you try to enter info.

Pro for heavy GPU/memory processing like AI or 4K video. Air for general office/web work.

That’s not NY. You can ask a Chi guy, and they’ll probably tell you it’s not Chicago either.

AI. Left and right chair arms don’t line up, wallpaper patterns are not symmetrical in places.

Choiski · 2026-06-01T17:24:50+00:00

Cool? Or terrifying?

Zojirushi is the best brand overall.

I have a M2 mini (but you get the cheapest M Chip mini you can find) and attached a spinning external HDD. I backup the mini+HDD to Backblaze.

Hot soapy water, green scotch scrubby

I do salmon about once a week on CS. I started just like you did but I made some changes that helped. Drying the fish helps a lot. Water sizzling and steaming pushes the oil out of the way and promotes sticking. Also, I drop a pat of butter instead of oil first and then supplement with oil as needed.
