I’m past considering. They’re the only party worth my vote right now. Liberals are done and cons are… well cons.

What do the cons think about collective bargaining rights I wonder? Lol.

Wait until the cons get power, tear gas and batons.

I own Apple stock and an M4 Mini. Happy to see upgrade options.

There are tons of listing for cheap Mac’s on marketplace now. Even Mac studios. The mini M4 is a very good deal. Super happy with mine.

Older intel macs could do an internet recovery on a bare drive. The internet recovery system was part of the ROMs/BIOS.

We’ve been shopping at Costco like mad and are building a pantry of cheap staples to pull from for meals.

For proteins, buy in bulk and portion them out. Far cheaper than supermarkets.

Not just best effort but any other language is actively discouraged and hindered by the government.

Oh. I must’ve hit a nerve. Truth hurts huh.

Tabernac!

Don’t tell him about building an unRAID server on a PC. It’s a rabbit hole your dad will love.

Can scale it from cheap used hardware to top of the line server hardware.

I started mine with retired PC hardware and have upgraded it to used commercial server hardware and it’s rock solid with more storage than my office server at work. 😂. The ultimate tinkering platform.

Set mine up as well. Marvellous piece of kit. Quite affordable for what you get.

You know as well as I do that if you’re not a French speaker in Quebec that you’re a second class citizen in the eyes of the government (and many of the population).

I’ve heard it doesn’t due to Apple restrictions on the new operating systems for Apple silicon but I’ve never tried it myself.

Frankly not just for less crime, just payback.

Would probably make a victimized person or shop owner feel better seeing the convict get beaten bloody.

I know it would make me feel better if I got pickpocketed and beaten to see some equivalent payback.

Ifixit accomplished it. Required another Mac to reinstall the OS.

99% is hopefully way too high. I honestly don’t mind my taxes going to healthcare and education for people who need it.

I do however want far tougher enforcement on crimes. I’d be very happy to see Singapore-style canings applied to repeat offenders here now. It wouldn’t kill them but they might think twice if the punishment was being beaten bloody every time they reoffend.

Apple decided they want memory modules that only contain memory because the storage controller is on their own silicon and they have direct low level access to the storage chips if they do it themselves. Probably cheaper (for them) without redundant controller parts they don’t need too.

Surprised nobody has reverse engineered this yet to make compatible upgrade modules. Probably not enough money in it. Edit: there’s a kickstarter for some homebrew modules which seem to work but they’re still pretty expensive.

I just got mine with 1TB. I added a second external SSD for a bit more space. Good enough for me. The only issue is that I can’t point the Dropbox app at the external drive. The new one has to point to the user home folder (guess I could move all of that to the external drive).

They actually do. I work with them and I’ve seen it on multiple occasions here (not the US). Maybe you should try it.

But I’m not talking about the US. Did you miss that?
