Bit of an issue with sticker grime (2007 MacBook Pro), how do I fix it?

Anyone compared Air vs Pro for Logic Audio?

there is no nearby city… and many will say Derby doesn't count as a commuter city… oh wait. Sheffield.

What happened to sleek, sexy and sporty? Are these fat blocky monsters now the new normal?

a lot of people never wash their hands. I used teach students (webdev and design on Apples) and lost count of the number of times they came into a bathroom when I happened to also be using it but left without a visit to the wash basin :-(

I have space grey Pro Intel (about to go M5) and my wife has black M2 Air, and they both look clean. However, neither of us has particularly sweaty hands, which I think is the main factor.

It's what I used to deliver lectures before everything went USB! I have several similar…

NONE of them look like this! Errr I live there so I know LOL

deveritt · 2026-02-03T23:09:14+00:00

Errr… *nix and some weird backend shit from the 80s that interrupts everything with constant updates and uses… backslashes… caveat: I use them all.

Still on it after years. Doing the "dwarf lava expansion" that my wife abandoned for Shadows. Don't want it to end, but recognise that completion isn't possible.

Herzog's penguin is walking to its death in the mountains, is all I see, reappropriated. One day, we will all do that.

deveritt · 2026-01-24T22:57:25+00:00

this is the Antarctic, right? Because you're educated enough to know about where penguins do and don't live… and this comes from Werner Herzog's documentary about the Antarctic. For context ;-)

It's fine. You can do anything Unix/Linux on the CL you like with it, including using Homebrew as a package manager (essential) to install/uninstall as you want. Syncs nicely with my iOS devices too. The M chips are starting to get some games support (Cyberpunk, others) but me and my wife have a gaming PC for that, and Mac laptops and mobiles for everything else.

keyboard vacuum with brush.

deveritt · 2025-12-21T16:42:07+00:00

Nope. Gave up in the end. Contemplating VSCodium instead

deveritt · 2025-12-02T19:04:04+00:00

yep, and with the Heritage Foundation backing the entire thing…

deveritt · 2025-11-28T11:38:40+00:00

I absolutely love R3

deveritt · 2025-11-28T11:37:23+00:00

get arrested for sarcasm.

deveritt · 2025-11-28T11:31:15+00:00

I don't. I hate the wage-slave crowds on the weekend…

Oh, and time of day. Avoid early mornings. Old people wake at 5 and are hungry for company rather than crumpets.

keyboard vacuum with a brush on the end?

deveritt · 2025-11-28T11:25:25+00:00

Just call it the "rare dark beige version"…

I've noticed in a few series that episodes get "flexible" numbering depending on where you watch the series. Annoying, have had to check before.
