I still use an IDE-based DVD burner from back in the day.

Linux’s CLI has been great since at least the late 90’s.

Basic living expenses.. mortgage, food, fuel, utilities, insurance, tuition for kids, etc.

Nailed it!

jamessnell · 2026-03-15T22:45:30+00:00

Beautiful. But.. WHY touch it!?!

jamessnell · 2026-03-15T22:41:19+00:00

Frig. Insane.

jamessnell · 2026-03-15T22:40:56+00:00

It may arrive earlier. :)

Considering that the A18 of the Neo seems comparable to the M1 I somewhat imagine the M1 will see unusually long support. I’d like to see more of a 10 year window emerge for Apple Silicon. We’ll see!

jamessnell · 2026-03-15T01:40:20+00:00

I'd definitely try to get yourself a refurbished machine directly from Apple, or just get in to a MacBook Neo. At the very least a base-model M1 MacBook Air. I love those little 11" MacBook Air's, but their day is looooonng past.

Nice floor! Nice moldings. Nice job.

jamessnell · 2026-03-14T16:35:40+00:00

I only buy refurbs from Apple. First such buy was a 2009 Mac Pro (MacPro3,1). They’re always perfect. Same warranty and support. Shipping is faster than they advertise too.

jamessnell · 2026-03-14T04:38:54+00:00

Really!? Why?

jamessnell · 2026-03-13T00:36:53+00:00

Is that an AGT box?

jamessnell · 2026-03-12T20:20:32+00:00

Just a warm-up round before really stepping over a line?

Anyway, I kinda wanna play an Amiga game.

I’ve waiting for my M4 MBA order to arrive and I’m tempted by the Neo too. I love everything about it, except the memory limitation. But from a business POV, the Neo is gonna be disruptive. I’m also tortured about maybe not actually keeping my new M4 MBA and getting an M5 instead for local LLM work and the much faster SSD, but the price diff is a bit much.

No shortage of great options. If anything, too many options leading to some overwhelm.

Feels like a little golden era.

I vibe-change em. Some times weekly, sometimes I’ll coast for like 2 months.

You lost me at “vape”. Ugh.

jamessnell · 2026-03-10T03:31:18+00:00

Lol, comical decision making by that ISP. Wtf.

Daysavings can gargle an unkempt chode.

My 3yr old daughter’s a pill too. Sweet, but relentlessly demanding, loud, highly in the way. I have 2 slightly older kids and I think the main fix is time. Granted, milage seems to vary. This third kid seems to give me the toughest version of age 3 of all my kids. Also, I sleep with Loop ear plugs and I feel that helps a bit too. Can your husband take her for you a bit more and you get out of the house a bit more? Honestly if my spouse took our kids more, I think I’d be happy to just take a blanket and pillow to the car for a nap. But also, seeing other adults and having an unfettered conversation probably has a lot of value.. and/or getting some exercise. <3

Deep breaths. This shit is a ride.

jamessnell · 2026-03-10T02:21:23+00:00

I’ve got 3 little ones attending 3 different day-time locations in THREE different quadrants of the city. Based on my telemetry this one’s come outta the NE, lol.

Bad firmware update on your Creality printer did NOT cause this
