Yea thats how my spouses laptop ended up with fedora and our main/gaming PC ended up with Nobara. For some reason certain distros and certain configurations do not go well with each other.

At this occasion I think it adds to the insanity. It makes it look like the nurse is a pationt too, with her trying to roll away a normal chair

4090s are what price now? Didn’t keep track, I’m astonished. never thought I’d see the day when Apples RAM pricing is seen as competitive.

Just FYI: The “Mac Studio” when equipped with 32-core M3Ultra processors can have up to 512GB of RAM.

It costs like 15k after taxes, so not exactly the scope of this thread, but it exists.

That is so good and satisfying to hear.

I’m also currently almost exclusively on Linux. My Spouse has a Fedora powered Notebook with a super fast 8/16 core amd processor and loves it dearly. (Cannot remember the maker, but since the BIOS/setup was huge PITA I wont be buying from them again.) I used to love the simplicity and light-weighted -ness of apples setup, but over the years Linux systems made it far easier to use them as a “digital hub”. Turns out I did not enjoy selling my soul to Satan (Oracle Virtualbox) or pay an extra 100 bucks per year (Corel Parallels) just so I could use a few windows only tools I had.

Sorry to burst your bubble but there is quite a bit of sewage on crop action

Just a reminder since this seems relevant: The abuser’s Waiting Game includes consistently rescheduling plans.

Hey this was bad, but wait a few weeks and then something really bad happens. You just wait Then all the others around you will finally see.

From someone who’s been around for a few years: No this specific bad thing will not happen. No those around you won’t see for themselves.

Oh no. Maybe some Incense to cleanse the demons? (⊙_⊙)

Edit: I just remembered I had a similar problem, after changing the battery on my 2015. This thread at macrumors helped me tremendously especially the last entry (did it on three seperate days before it had an effect.) but I’m sure you already tried all of that. Just for the off chance.

these Intel Macs were such a bad experience.

I feel you. I still use an intel macbook with tweaks i cannot remember plus 3rd party utils like Turbo Boost switcher. That experience alone has kept me from upgrading to newer models.

In retrospect my powerbook g4 (Ti) and os 9 was peak computing.

Just FYI I have used mirror foil and an x.acto knife with silicone glue with great effect in the past.

Thank you for taking the time!

Feel you. my 8 yr old alt (my only account left) mysteriously has had a total karma of zero.

Since shortly after election strangely enough. Wonder what happened there /s.

Oooh, that sounds like an interesting read. Do you happen to have the DOI?

Great recommendations in here. One thing that surprised me personally was

civil war (2024)

great movie, had a blast. Was surprised rotten tomatoes / IMDb seemed to hate it.
