With the advent of the m3, m2's and m1's still in inventory can be a steal, particularly 'Air macs which can be sub-1k easy. My mbp m2pro 16g was 1500. I'm not impressed by real-life macos performance tho, a lot of it is impressive in parts (blender rendering for instance) but everyday life is just the same... Yes, the same hanging Color Wheel Of Doom.

I hope your 5k investment isn't having sound playback hiccups because dropbox is trying to log in and refresh in the background. I am actually furious with the 10% of the time I have to use macos on this machine.

Yup, two days ago actually. Perfect with capers, Worcestershire sauce, raw (again!) onions, Tabasco sauce, egg yolk (guess what? Yes, uncooked), parsley and salt/pepper. Edit: Oh, don't forget the mustard!

In Brussels a tartare with French fries is called an Américain Frites, and is next to Mussels as Belgian National Dish.

One of my all-time favorite as well, will have it anytime it is safe to have. Like with fish! There are delicious recipes with fish! Carpaccio, Laap Pa (Laos)... that you better be careful around but are so, so good.

TMI: so the "Américain" in Belgium is raw ground beef, but in France is a sandwich with French fries added in the bread. French people are weird. In Belgium, if you ask for French fries in your sandwich, it is called a "mitraillette" ; I'll let you find the translation, Belgians can be weird too.

Infected pork

Yeah, this - in Belgium, we eat raw pork all the time (search for "préparé du chef" by supermarket brand "carrefour dot be", 40% raw pork). And not all of us are worm-devoured brainless zombies, last time I checked.

Same with raw beef, fish, even water (salmonella anyone?): strong regulations at every step of the production line makes the customer safe.

Gosh I love myself a thick slice of bread with a fat lump of ground raw pork on it. Just add salt and pepper.

I'm hungry now, fuck you brain worm!

I use Asahi too, and at the moment the killing factor is battery depletion while sleeping (50% a day!). Performance wise, working with kdenlive is about on par with an i7 12th gen Intel chip (direct comparison between Thinkpad X1 i7 16g ram 2023 and mbp m2pro 16g ram) - nothing close to the power macos can leverage from the m chip but still perfectly usable. But frustrating in a way.

If you install Asahi, it will be dualboot by default - why not trying it out? The install process is a delight, very well explained.

As for hardware, the Air is pretty unique. There are other fanless stuff out there, but it's gonna be cheap netbooks without the power to handle video work.

I'd say give Asahi a try ; I love booting mine in front of people and looking at their confused faces when I spin the cube to move a wobbly window around (Though the big Fedora logo at startup is a bit of a giveaway)!

Edit: also, you already own the hardware. Stop wasting money/resources, jut make it do what you want.

Nylon Hammers usually are available in much smaller diameter - nylon is more dense than rubber, I believe there's a limit on his small a rubber head can be.

Or just put "something" between your hammer and the fragile wood part; I'm thinking a flip-flop sole lol.

YMMV; My life has improved greatly since I am not buying beer anymore.

France slashed this to two, on account of people doing it wrong or not doing it at all: glass / everything else.

At least my area, it's privatized and competitive bidding. I just don't believe in it in this context.

An electric blanket. Fuck utilities costs, eats next to nothing and so, so comfy.

No. I seriously need ig for work, but when the app popped the "pay €12/month or accept tracking" I uninstalled.

ebook.com has a tickbox in its search tool to look only for drm-free books. I miss-clicked once, buying a locked book & was refunded with zero hassle.

Tachyon Publications straight out does not sell drm-locked books.

Ben parlons-en, sans stress ni agressivité ; @Camus tu es l'âme de cette communauté, tu postes beaucoup et intervient en réponse - je ne pense pas que tu cherches la vaine gloire de ces Points Internet, mais es soucieux d'animer un endroit de cet internet.

Mais si on s'en tape ? Si au-delà de s'en foutre royalement, on est même agacé par la dépense d'argent, ennuyé par le rigorisme de la reconstitution, outré par la priorité absolue que ce chantier a pris, mêlant politique et religieux d'une façon malsaine ?

Oui je suis le deuxième bas-vote. N'est-il pas censé que j'estime que ça ne mérite pas célébration ? Soyons clair : si la photo illustrait la nécessité de parler des points ci-dessus, alors voter négativement est nul. Mais là, j'exprime mon désaccord à l'aspect célébratoire, à l'occupation de mon écran par ces pixels, et souhaite voir autre chose que l'illustration flamboyante de "La France, fille aînée de l'église, célèbre la rénovation d'un des instruments d'oppression les plus sanglants de l'humanité, grâce à la volonté politique de son très catholique dirigeant".

Oups pardon j'ai peut-être un peu dérapé sur la fin. Mais je ne retire rien, malgré l'agressivité qui sous-tend le bazar : j'ai vraiment un problème avec la religion.

C'était l'argument pour la faire évoluer : Viollet-le-Duc, quand il reçu la charge de rénover l'église, n'hésita pas. Si l'on considère qu'un bâtiment fait partie de la vie d'une ville, il ne doit pas nécessairement être un musée figé mais se transformer avec elle.

Macron, c'est pas Mitterrand. Ou même Chirac.

There's a switch in settings where you can define if the changes you are making are global or only for the current account

This app really is the best, only missing an Account Management feature

I have a 2013 "air" that was updated to 10.15 (so 64bits) ; I bought it dirt cheap secondhand for one specific app, and out of the box it did update itself when I connected it not so long ago. I changed the battery, too - most resellers include the impossible screwdrivers needed to open the strange tri-lobe screws.

If OP has a use for it, it's not bad hardware with backlit keyboard, a decent screen, lightweight. With a new battery it's a decent all-day workhorse. My main machines are 5th gen Intel, and I remember nothing wrong with 4th gen.

Any distro will run on it, or should. I'd bet you'll get the spinning cube & wobbly windows easy peasy. If it's free, just try it out.

Have fun!

I've found it depends on version / distro. My Debian install of Firefox doesn't feature gestures, which is frustrating all the more because the Epiphany browser has them. On Asahi, where it feels super natural on apple hardware, it woks excellently.

Now these gestures... I found myself swiping 2 fingers to go back in my file browser a lot recently and I don't know if I come from the future or if I'm being a slightly uncoordinated smooth brain.

For a better touchscreen experience, try the Gnome Desktop. Some people hate it because ...because people, but I love it on my exactly-same-but-not-same latitude 7389 (Arch BTW) and thinkpad 390 yoga (Debian).

I actually like the lack of endless customisation options ; I really just change the background, install the Cube and the Wobbly Windows and I'm back to work. Which I should be at right now, sigh.

The orrery, as soon as I can get my hands on it in an actual shop.

From the Road and Track article:

People clinked glasses of free champagne in outfits worth more than the market price of all the organs in my body. I stood there among them in a thrift-store blouse and shorts from Target.

Thanks for sharing the R&T link, it is indeed an excellent article. If her mandate was to report her experience, she nailed it absolutely.

(Talking about Lewis Hamilton):

It's reminiscent of the patronage system of precapitalist times, when rulers and nobles with endless riches paid musicians and composers to live in the palace with them.

A great read indeed. I guess some advertiser got angry. Mercedes? Red Bull? We'll never know.
