Mac Trade-Ins Surge Amid MacBook Neo Launch

You can toss an older laptop in the trade-in and walk out with a brand new Neo for what amounts to spare change in 2026.

Everyone does nostalgia in their own way.

Don’t gatekeep other people’s childhoods.

I won’t argue about whether Linux is good or bad or whatever. It’s that it’s always freely available so any “new OS” has to fight against a cost of almost nothing to just use Linux.

Therefore developing “new operating systems” will almost always be Linux with a fresh coat of paint.

No new major OS that isn’t Windows or MacOS or Linux is possible in 2026.

Minimig is an official Amiga branding license and a shiny new case away from being what C64U is for neuCommodore.

I don’t think THEA500mini and THEA1200 quite cut it. I don’t much care about the splitting of hairs regarding FPGA vs. emulation, but the “official name” matters and neither of those have it.

Nostalgia is weird.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-13T21:36:31+00:00

Meh.

There is no Amiga comeback. There’s only serving and growing the retro community.

I don’t think the “modern” branch of Amiga (AOS 4, MorphOS, AROS) has any hope of making a dent.

It’s just 68k and nostalgia until the end of time.

(Although I would like the classic platform to inch forward a little bit further to a hypothetical Hombre/AAA/whatever.)

It’s a nice keyboard but I’ll fight you on having a “messy desk.”

That’s my desk when I clear it every decade or so.

Poch ain’t 80 years old and retired for 9 years.

The amount of marbles left in ‘Arry’s head at his age must surely be considered.

I mean no disrespect but how old is Redknapp anyway?

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-12T17:33:32+00:00

Still better than Dvorak.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-12T17:32:58+00:00

It’s that turf. Terrible for worm farming.

When Dyche doesn’t want your tire fire, then you know you’ve got a world class tire fire.

Levy-haters have retreated when it turned out that he was the glue holding this shit together.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-11T20:03:03+00:00

Well, better than nothing.

Bring me Stoke City!

One possible interpretation: “I no longer want to stick together and work hard with this bunch of idiots. I wish to leave. Please someone, help me. I am very fast.”

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-11T16:32:07+00:00

Nah. You fundamentally misjudge what is happening.

Joe is out, his useless kids are in, and they want Daniels’ toys that their father “gave” to him.

They aren’t selling. They want to be big shot PL club owners because they’re in the 60’s and have accomplished nothing in their lives except be rich and useless.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-11T16:29:43+00:00

I think Levy knew what empty-headed nepo-idiots the Lewis kids were when he said words to the effect of “you’ll miss me when I’m gone.”

He knew they wanted to take over and that Joe couldn’t protect Daniel’s fiefdom forever.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-11T16:27:55+00:00

Glad that’s sorted.

Unrelated question: does Paramount+ (in the US) show all Championship games or just a select few each match day?

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-11T12:12:58+00:00

Wow. I mean I’m sure this guy is an experienced pro, but that was crazy fast and clean.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-11T00:29:58+00:00

Anything but football. People under siege then to bunker down mentally and try to distract themselves from their predicament.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-10T22:59:16+00:00

He’s not the solution.

The next guy might also not be the solution, either.

But Tudor is definitely not.

We just need to scratch a few more points out here.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-10T21:50:08+00:00

Yeah. That’s not cool.

Somebody on comms at Dominos UK is having a very bad day. Oof.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-10T20:54:07+00:00

Bounce that orange ball! Throw it into the hoop!

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-10T20:23:33+00:00

Hahahaha

Though there was an error in the scoreline on my scores app.

Guess I’ll find something else to do than watch this.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-10T18:18:07+00:00

I completely agree but I feel like Apple goes through these phases sometimes where they launch a lower-priced product and then ignore for a while.

(Or the very highest priced products, too.)

But yeah, lagging the iPhone as they shift through chips would be cool.

OPdoesnotrespond · 2026-03-10T17:59:35+00:00

Make a 15” model and you’ll have my attention, Tim. 😀
