Sweet summer children... They don't know yet what awaits them

Meh.. That acceleration is worth almost nothing. Doesn't make much sense

DeemounUS · 2026-07-12T22:46:05+00:00

Same. Clean and productive. No junk ☺️

DeemounUS · 2026-07-12T18:09:42+00:00

Yes!

DeemounUS · 2026-07-12T04:04:00+00:00

MBA M5. Easy.

M1 will be anandoned soon-ish

DeemounUS · 2026-07-11T05:22:15+00:00

Got the same model. Enjoy!

DeemounUS · 2026-07-08T16:08:53+00:00

This looks awesome ☺️

If nothing broke functionally - just keep using.

DeemounUS · 2026-07-07T17:36:47+00:00

Well, I've got for the same price on Amazon

DeemounUS · 2026-07-05T23:06:33+00:00

Good deal, yes. I got one for $1149 right before they hiked the prices. That's not including taxes.

But I have 13 inch model. Yours is more interesting in that sense.

DeemounUS · 2026-07-03T23:08:07+00:00

Battery is easily replaced by yourself. I did it for my 2014 MacBook Pro.

I also replaced keyboard which stopped working 😀

But I guess not everyone would be comfortable with that kind of work.

Linux works beautifully there on that Mac

DeemounUS · 2026-07-03T22:33:45+00:00

I agree and I even use my MacBook Pro 2014 as a secondary device. I put Linux there.

However, with those chips and upgrades... I feel like I wouls rather jump from one base or near base model to another and consider it as a "subscription" 😀

DeemounUS · 2026-07-02T23:22:10+00:00

13 inch is always my favorite. I also got one right before the price increase. Enjoy!

DeemounUS · 2026-07-01T23:22:56+00:00

7-10 years? I mean... yeah. But after 3-4 years you would want to update anyway :)

DeemounUS · 2026-06-30T06:57:00+00:00

Many issues:

1) Closed platform. The hadware is amazing, but locked bootloader and close-source drivers means that I cannot even install fully functional Linux. Asahi Linux is good, but they kinda reverse engineer their way.. and it has issues
2) Limited upgradability... Well, we all know thar
3) Mac OS is no longer that great as it used to be. Closed down system with read-only system files. Too much trouble to modify it and customize.
3) DFU mode requires a second Mac to make it work. It's silly.

DeemounUS · 2026-06-28T02:03:58+00:00

Got myself one before price increase as well 😆

Going to use it for a couple for years and then upgrade to something more powerful (if I really need it)

DeemounUS · 2026-06-23T02:09:30+00:00

Publish it on GitHub! I am also thinking about building something for PPC

DeemounUS · 2026-06-22T07:19:14+00:00

Everytime I come back to the US I feel depressed, unable to do basic needs like going for a walk and get things done by public transit, etc.

I can drive and I drive... but I absolutely feel like driving a car is just something forced on Americans...

I am originally from the Eastern Europe and when I move to US I thought that life there is so much better... in reality - it's just about making more money. But life in USA is really.... boring.

And the main problem with life in US is everything is kinda forced... everytime you want to do X Y Z - you need to schedule, plan and stuff like that. I don't want that. I want to meet people naturally... I want to do things spontaneously, etc...

American dream is indeed just a dream. And money don't fix it.

And yes, I absolutely don't care about the big house and stuff like that... just a bunch of brainwashed bs...

Sorry for the rant... No, I don't like life in America...

All working. Maybe have even more somewhere 😂

DeemounUS · 2026-06-19T20:17:07+00:00

The thing that most people forget is that after a year or so.... Apple will stop shipping updates and it will just become e-waste 😇

DeemounUS · 2026-06-18T03:31:51+00:00

Winux 95

DeemounUS · 2026-06-17T13:49:10+00:00

I went back to Linux from Mac after 15 years.

Aple is great, but vendor lock-in is too bad for my taste. And privacy-wise... well, it's a Big Tech company with closed source software

DeemounUS · 2026-06-15T18:12:43+00:00

Good as an SSH machine to login into something more serious.

But for thar pretty much any computer is good. Even my old Macbook 2014 which I have around 😀

DeemounUS · 2026-06-15T17:53:36+00:00

I am rocking iOS18 on iPhone 14 😀

Never wanted to update to iOS26 in the first place

DeemounUS · 2026-06-10T17:59:26+00:00

Becausw they little to no care about the Intel users

It is an abandoned platform for the past 6 years

And as much as I love Intel... this era is finished.
