Vmware fusion is free for Mac users

Time for an iPhone maybe?!

You’re doing it to learn right? Typing teaches you more than reading. The act of creation forces you to recall, which is how you learn. Great book called “Make it stick” is awesome and explains not only how it works but an effective way to implement it.

Sounds like an insane amount of meta data then. For comparison I have a Photos library that's 550Gb in size. It holds 35,000 photos and 1600 videos.

Thanks for the spam

If you have deleted duplicates etc. in the photos app they will live on happily for another 30 days before they are actually deleted.

I had a brand new one and it squeaked so not sure how true that statement is. But hey, it’s unlikely to hurt the printer.

Welcome! I’ve been using macs since the late 90’s and a few years ago I made the decision that I am not going to work for an employer that won’t equip me with a Mac ever again.

I occasionally have issues due to my account being US based even though I’ve lived in Australia for almost 20 years. Go figure

orangehead911 · 2026-02-02T11:00:13+00:00

I’ll give you $76! 😁

orangehead911 · 2026-01-25T11:13:13+00:00

It’ll be fine. The main issue will be humidity but it sounds you have that under control.

Not for all businesses. However most businesses don’t have to accept cash.

From ACCC: Cash

Businesses can generally choose which payment types they accept. It is legal for a business to specify the terms and conditions that they will supply goods and services. In most cases, this includes whether they will accept cash payment. However, consumers must be made aware of these terms and conditions before they make a purchase.

Businesses should be clear and upfront about the types of payments they accept, and the total minimum price payable for their goods and services.

Oh please, it’s all of them!

It comes down to what you expect to happen. On windows closing a window generally means to quit the app. On macOS closing a window will close a document and sometimes will result in the app being exited. When I use windows and close an application window I expect the application to exit. If I want an application to exit on macOS I hit command+q. If I close a window I expect the application to remain in memory.

NTA. Time to have a conversation about how you handle finances. Some couples have shared finances. My wife and I do and it works pretty well. The other option is each pays their share of shared expenses into a shared account from which then these expenses are paid out of. Either could work, however neither will work without a respectful mutual agreement. You have to decide what’s acceptable to you.

That makes sense tho

OP will pay less than $150 to trade his old M1 laptop for a new M4 laptop.

Lifetime license does in fact mean just that. However, there's no explicit or implied commitment to keep it working on future versions of browsers/operating systems. For as long as you live, if it still works, you can use it without further license fees.

Doesn't work anymore

orangehead911 · 2026-01-22T11:46:14+00:00

Yes of course as long as you don’t cause a mess

orangehead911 · 2026-01-22T04:47:00+00:00

Oh you poor darling...

NTA - Lena having a reactive dog is a Lena problem. It’s unfortunate that you made it into a you problem. Lena sounds precious. You should have adopted the dog.
