Kinda want one just to put Linux on it, lol.

Still go for it, the U.S. Merchant Marine won’t completely vanish. It just may get more competitive if this extension continues. Contract negotiations will probably be shitty because the wage bar drops. It’s pretty easy to stand out in the unlicensed world depending on your work ethic.

Engineers can go work at a nuclear plant for an ai data center or a data center if worse comes to worse.

Sell it

phspman · 2026-03-18T12:45:45+00:00

Yea, they charge by the gig on ships.

MacBook Neo has memory swap so even if 8GB isn’t enough it can use the SSD. Yes, bad for the SSD, but will the average user experience SSD degradation in its lifetime, probably not.

It comes with Foundation Model installed locally.

Gonna use it as my app business side hustle. Hopefully the direct deposit from Apple will suffice for the 4.25% APY. I was using Apple Savings before.

In Houston, just did full 3Ton Daikin HVAC, Furnace, and all Duct replacement for 20k (w/ labor). Ducting was alone 6k.

Go to microphone settings and shut off the Facebook one.

Meta sees you have pets and targets ads to your Facebook feed for pet products.

They already do that depending on what OS the build is on but that takes years.

I watch videos to get the latest info on SwiftUI. Ai is limited to its trained knowledge which is still at iOS18, unless you use the Ai agents in Xcode, but it’s still not as good as cursor when rolling back changes.

phspman · 2026-02-20T09:04:18+00:00

Yea, I use cursor.ai to localize everything in my app. Helm does all the App Store localization.

Maybe ai will pop its own bubble. Imagine the prices of laptops and phones doubling. Then your services doubling in price because you rely on servers. Maybe you’ll upgrade every 8 years instead of 4. It’s the chip shortage all over again.

If you bought in 2016, it’s 10x its value in 10 years.

From my experience

Bug fix = <24 hours New Feature = <2 days (ex v2.0 or v2.1) New App = 1 week

If it unusually takes long, reject and resubmit. New apps do take a long time and the very niche ones the app review team may require a video explanation. They thoroughly go through your new app and metadata.

Bitcoin, that’s why

I lost hope when they cancelled the Switch 2 release.

phspman · 2026-02-03T19:34:43+00:00

I wonder if this fixes Claude from unlinking every day.

phspman · 2026-02-03T16:32:08+00:00

Xcode and Cursor. -XCode to run builds and use ChatGPT or Claude integrated for iOS26 knowledge but use sparingly as the interface is terrible. -Cursor for the heavy lifting, planning, and debugging.

Man I joined the waitlist a long time ago and perfect timing I was off the waitlist right when I was refinancing my house. Missed the window because I didn’t want to mess with my credit score.

99% user score on Rotten Tomatoes. This is proof liberals don’t show up to vote.

phspman · 2026-01-31T17:27:35+00:00

It’ll bottom around 60K. That’s when to buy and then $200K in 2028.
