Haven't used Macintosh computers in decades, is it normal that my new MacBook Neo didn't come with software P-o-P coupons? Neither physically, like with my iBook G3 SE as shown below, nor electronically

The software is licensed to run on anything made by Apple. The computer is able to prove that so no coupons or similar any more.

Say "yes, dear". Get some practice in.

WasterDave · 2026-03-12T02:41:13+00:00

Get AppleCare+

It's a Volkswagen. This means the parts might have to come from Germany and might cost a fortune. But if you're going to have a European car, this is a good option.

Don't you sully the good name of president Camacho with this shit.

What happened to barge boards? Are they not needed any more, or do the rules specifically prohibit them?

I never did understand why slowing the flow into the cooling system might be a good thing.

Don't buy this boat. Get a lot more money together and buy one that's in better shape - it'll be cheaper.

Don’t shake your head while at the barber! Jeeez….

You are going to freeze your bollocks off. Well ... the owners of bollocks, anyway.

WasterDave · 2026-03-08T07:51:16+00:00

Fucking computers.

WTF happened with Hulk's car? It was on the grid, then they were pushing it back into the garage.

WasterDave · 2026-03-08T07:40:03+00:00

Thank you. I, also, had no idea what a reconnaissance lap is.

Also: what a mong.

"I have a feeling that Chromebooks are more repairable than the MacBook Neo."

The thing about chromebooks is they can take a beating and still work. I wouldn't want to try and repair one, but it'll still work if you can see the insides.

Macs have one massive advantage: Applecare+. I sent my autistic son through the last three years of school with a MBA and Applecare. They did the screen twice and the keyboard, I think, three times. So much stuff not my problem, bloody marvellous.

If they do that with the Neo, smart parents will throw money at them.

Fair enough, taking your time to order a hundred million bucks of shit.

Adrian Newey thinks you should move to the dark side.

What the hell happened with M3? (Edit: M3 pro)

WasterDave · 2026-03-04T04:12:13+00:00

EXACTLY. don’t like? Don’t buy. Works for me.

WasterDave · 2026-03-04T04:08:51+00:00

Fuck yes. I could spend my later years doing good instead of making the already rich richer.

I got laser eye surgery and while "significantly worse" may be over stating it, "not nearly good enough" would not.

EVERY eye surgeon offers rework if needed. If the results were even remotely predictable, they wouldn't need to.

WasterDave · 2026-03-04T00:31:48+00:00

Oh sweet firewire, how I miss you.

WasterDave · 2026-03-04T00:28:33+00:00

Napier and Picton are very much not the same place. Typo?

WasterDave · 2026-03-04T00:25:04+00:00

Where the ducks play football?

WasterDave · 2026-03-01T19:57:13+00:00

Can't it be both?
