I'm not following — what's the cheap shit you're referring to here?

It's cool that you were able to keep your Surface for so long though. I wish more people would hang onto their tech until it actually needs replacing.

You cam modify the windows 11 installer to install on a surface pro also

You can technically install MacOS on old, unsupported Macs too. I've never done it personally but I know people who've been running the latest software on long-unsupported hardware with no issues for years.

They aren't. They're premium, for sure, but you'll struggle to find a similarly specced Windows machine beating it by much, if at all (and when I say similarly specced, I don't just mean a shitbox with a big, slow SSD and a ton of budget ram, I mean something with a decent display, good build quality, fast storage and ram, a powerful and efficient CPU, and silent/fanless if comparing to the Air).

I will grant you that Apple has lost their fuckin' minds with ram and storage upgrade pricing, but the machines as a whole are not that expensive relative to the competition.

They're frustrated because it shows that they aren't necessary. People can just get on and do their work without some micromanager breathing down their neck.

This is going to blow your mind, but your computer doesn't explode when it stops getting updates. You can keep using it as long as the tools you use don't specifically require a new OS. I know, it's crazy, but it's true.

Why is everyone making this a price thing? The way I see it, this is because Apple Silicon is so damn good. I replaced an Intel MacBook Pro with an M2 Air and I’m not going to need another machine until this thing stops working. People shouldn’t need to buy new laptops every couple of years. This is a win in my eyes.

Meh. Not everyone is good at writing. Personally, I prefer the clap emoji to people using quotation marks for emphasis.

And then there are the people who double-space after a full stop like it's 1914 — give 'em the chair, I say.

What your brother is doing is a pretty good example of why this stuff needs to be regulated better. People's performance evaluations are not the kind of thing that these tools are equipped to do properly.

Seeing people say they’re saving lots of time with LLMs makes me wonder how much menial busywork other people do relative to myself. I find so few things in my day where using these tools wouldn’t just make me a babysitter for a dumb machine.

I can see how it might look like that if you simply ignore literally all the details. But thats only something an idiot would do. You’re not an idiot, are you?

Is anyone really surprised by this?

I pray this bumbling moron actually does it.

Edit: spelling. Apparently I’m a bumbling moron too.
