Christ, this government is fucking evil.
- Comment on iFixit hails replaceable LPCAMM2 laptop memory as a 'big deal' 1 week ago:
I won’t hold my breath on Apple using this. It’d destroy their upsell from 8gb process in one fell swoop.
- Comment on YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers 1 week ago:
The trouble with YT Premium is how much they’re charging for it.
We used a VPN to get Ukrainian family YTP for a fraction of the price they charge here in the UK. We pay something like £4 a month now for both of our accounts. That would be the better part of £20 a month if we’d done it legit. Fuck that noise.
Sure, it comes with YT Music, but I’ve literally never used that. I have Apple Music and an iPod. So £20 a month JUST TO REMOVE ADS.
Nah, fuck ‘em.

What’s the best free alternative to VMWare Fusion?
I don’t need Windows a huge amount, but it’s useful to have it in a VM on my Macs for those odd occasions when I need the Windows version of Excel for work stuff.

Seeing this has reminded me to submit my repeat request for my ADHD meds. Now I get to enjoy spending the next week wondering if I’ll be able to get any this month.
- Comment on More than 2,000 NHS buildings in England older than NHS, figures show 4 weeks ago:
I found out the other day that the hospital I was born in was torn down a few years ago and replaced with a fresh new building.
I’m only 43. I feel ancient now.
- Comment on The first Apple-approved emulators for the iPhone have arrived 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, and they’ve done a shitty job of it too. Downloaded it out of interest and ran Super Mario Land. It looks like crap and it’s full of ads that you can’t pay to remove.
Also, while it shows up when I search, it’s not in my App Library at all, which is odd.

True. But unlike him I’m not greedy.

I’d do it for the price of a reasonable three bed family house, tbh. Save myself the cost of a mortgage every month.

I for one have no desire to see Musk spread thank you.
- Comment on Roads at 'breaking point' as pothole repairs hit eight-year high, report claims 1 month ago:
I hit a pothole at 40mph last week. It was round a corner so I had no chance to avoid it. Hit it so hard the self leveling mechanism in my headlight has broken. So now, thanks to New Forest District Council (and central government for underfunding them) I now have to find the money for a new headlight.

I feel like Wolverine’s adamantium probably shouldn’t be ferrous, and if that’s the case he wouldn’t be magnetic, right?

Well, that rules out drinking McDonald’s coffee with one then.
- Comment on Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s 2 months ago:
As far as I can tell, no.
However, I installed it on my M2 Air last weekend to give it a spin, decided it’s not ready enough for a Linux novice such as myself, and uninstalled it all pretty easily. It doesn’t mess with your macOS install at all. The only thing you need to be careful with is deleting the correct partitions.
I installed three times. The first, I didn’t give Asahi enough drive space to be all that useful. The second time I decided that I wanted to try KDE instead of Gnome. Those two uninstalls went without a hitch.
The third uninstall, however, I must have been careless, because I had to reinstall macOS through deleting a wrong partition. It wasn’t a huge issue for me, but it’s possible to do.
Mr Macintosh’ video on uninstalling it is spot on - www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMnWTq2H-N0&
- Comment on Asahi Linux project’s OpenGL support on Apple Silicon officially surpasses Apple’s 2 months ago:
It’s entirely possible - www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xrg7nPG6_UU&t=993s&pp=ygU…
But yeah, not currently practical.
I’m hoping that by the time my M2 Air is no longer supported, OpenCore will have cracked the M-series Macs. Failing that, Asahi ought to be damn near feature complete.

- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Could Take Four Generations to Reach 'Ideal Form' 2 months ago:
Yeah, it’s weird because I distinctly remember them touting it as a dev kit at the launch event last year, yet there’s nothing at all about that on the website now.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Could Take Four Generations to Reach 'Ideal Form' 2 months ago:
You could argue that the 5th gen iPod Classic was when it really hit its stride.
Sure, it had been wildly successful until that point, but I have a 4th gen, and as beautiful as it is, it sucks next to my 5th gen. The refresh rate on the screen is atrocious, and it refuses to charge via USB. Meanwhile my 5G has a lovely colour screen and works with USB without a trouble.
- Comment on Apple Vision Pro Could Take Four Generations to Reach 'Ideal Form' 2 months ago:
That’s one way to view it.
On the other hand, it’s a first product in a new line for Apple who have an idealised notion of what they want it to achieve, but realise the technological limitations that exist before significant R&D is carried out. The first gen of any tech sucks in comparison to what comes later.

- Comment on Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users 3 months ago:
I’m a Mac user. I like using Macs, and I like using macOS. Apple are just as bad as MS for this shit.
I have an old MacBook Pro, as well as a pair of older minis. All three were left behind by macOS a few years ago, but if they weren’t all running Sonoma through OpenCore, they’d have an update in the App Store to upgrade to a new OS that Apple won’t let them run.
