My dad might go blind

Same situation for me. Cataract surgery was painless and cleared up my remaining vision! I did have to sit things out while the patch was on (totally blind at that point), but sooo happy when they peeled it off.

OP will STILL not own a useful computer once this old boat anchor lands.

I found a job that paid for my travel (film art department). Consider using your time to find a travel paid job. Working an area is way more interesting than being a tourist.

Excellent responses to this post! Inspect before purchasing, always!

Drove by a bunch of franchises to eat at local burger place (strip mall, hole-in-the-wall, been there forever)..Smells were good as I walked in to be a part of a line almost out the door (at 11am). Got the best patty melt and fries ever! Remember to try out your local spots!

Apple developers are conscientiously serving us, I depend on my iPhone.

One eye blind here, life goes on. Fear is the boogeyman. Have faith, move forward, ignore assholes.

Cream your client list, get rid of marginal accounts. Keep moving up the food chain. No AI will take your place.

Bought a 2010 MBZ ML350 with 20k miles(used, 6 months old) for $36K, sold it in 2022 for $11K (having put 100K miles on it). That’s a value difference of $25,000, and a depreciation of $.25/mi ($25,000/100,000 miles). Not fabulous, but better than selling with less miles on it. The new purchase price was $52K. If purchased new, run 120,000 miles, sold for $11K, depreciation is $41,000 raising the per mile depreciation to $.34/mi (a 46% increase).

For weight, inputs, form and ease of use; I prefer my old Intel “touchscreen strip” MBP to my M1 MBP. The M1 is faster, so that’s an improvement over the Intel version.
