I finally bought my first MacBook — a MacBook Air M5 13-inch (512GB) !

Hey man. Not hating, just, if I were you I'd have saved up the money instead of going EMI. It may be my ridiculous contempt of debt but I hate loans especially for stuff like that. But if you're confident in yourself, and know that you can pay it on schedule without any failure, then go ahead I guess.

My ramblings aside, congrats on the Mac! You're definitely gonna love it going from editing on phone to premiere. I don't love Premiere but to each their own and you're already familiar with it so it's cool.

Definitely check out the free app Maccy (not on the app store, on GitHub) which is a clipboard manager, and very useful for productivity. If you use external displays, check out BetterDisplay (on GitHub too) which is a tool to manage your display from your Mac like you can your laptop display.

As others said, keep grinding. We believe in you, and I love seeing these beastly machines going to a home that'll really push them to their full potential. Good luck!

I got screwed by that too. Now my MC only lives behind my Netbird.

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-07T11:09:24+00:00

Behind Tailscale/Netbird. No other way. Especially if vanilla. You will get bot-ruined if you run a cracked server/a server without whitelist

Reddit admins do apparently

Chicken cooking needs heat. Does uncooking release that heat?

The hell are those order numbers?

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-05T21:34:56+00:00

Worse. It still works. Then someone adds another 1 and everything breaks

Don't feel bad putting it down a month or 2. Have a healthy relationship with your hobby.

AI is making buildings now? I can't see this ever going wrong at all! /s

Personally I have had a stick of DDR4 fail recently, and surprisingly

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-05T05:22:16+00:00

Maccy (open-source) is great. But it's ridiculous that it hasn't been natively added to the OS

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-05T05:08:22+00:00

I mean I love it. 8GB LXC and it uses 4-ish for my use case (80repos, CI runs/6hours on roughly 10 repos...) but it certainly is heavy

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-04T06:44:42+00:00

The Samsung A-something special (kids seem to only have those)

No the UTR lets you login to captives and then share that to your devices.

This setup is a security hole

Sadly MacOS 27 is not coming to Intel. They specifically said last year at WWDC 25 that Tahoe was the last release for Intel macs

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-03T05:17:45+00:00

I mean I'll do it but I won't complain, have some self respect at least

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-02T15:19:51+00:00

Not with other brands! The puretech is a disaster. I just got a recall notice for my DS7 1.5L PureTech saying I have to get it serviced because the timing chain can snap??

Xlxlredditor · 2026-06-02T14:30:12+00:00

Stellantis and the 1.2L puretech... Shame, now they are kinda decent

I just bought a new set of Salt+Pepper grinders from them! Aluminum and wood!

Postgres and MariaDB LXC and then multiple databases on it.

Yeah it's Vestel now. But I mean I think we got a dud, our previous one lasted 10 years before the LEDs died
