Acid

I remember going to see TLJ at Leicester Square on opening night me and my brother and sister all paid silly money relative to other cinemas and I just came out of it going I don’t know if I even like this while my brother was raving about how it was the best thing he’s seen in years lol

I think he got caught up in the moment.

Honestly it’s also like when I saw Star Trek 09 with a friend at the BFI imax and I came out of it with him having had the time of his life and the only positive thing I could say was “ I liked the music “

Oh Christ I had completely forgot about that line

Depends on the time of the year,

During the summer I’d have one before and after work, during winter once a day or once every two days

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Fight Club as a thing to rewatch with no memory that would be amazing.

For a film I’d want to erase cause it was awful I’d go with the last Jedi I genuinely hated that film. Or Star Trek into darkness hated that also.

Worf going through Puberty and the aggressive tendencies are most of what I remember from that film.

Well that and Worf Data and Picard singing Gilbert and sulivan

I’d only change one thing and say most of the problems for Iran started because of the UK/US being imperialistic and has never recovered as a result

I’m half way on that journey, went from Rpi4 to M2 Mac Mini to host docker stuff and god knows how much in hard drives.

Really should look at used ones

And that is exactly why I bought an M2 Air this year, price vs performance nothing beats the MacBooks at the moment.

lack of easy access to advanced utilities

Me and you have very different experiences to this, at work I’ve found MacOS the easiest of the three to sort out.

I’ll give you a recent windows example, A PC comes in for repair with a b450 MSI board no audio on the Front panel or the rear I/O. Naturally we install all the drivers off the MSI web page except windows won’t even detect the sound card. Throw on a Linux USB live environment instantly detected.

Naturally we’re like no worries let’s use the inbuilt Windows tool to reset the PC with a cloud download, nope that doesn’t fix it. Required a complete reinstall from a USB. This was windows 10 22h2 iirc.

At work I see Windows/Mac/Linux daily and Windows, gives me the most trouble on a daily basis. With Mac/Linux most things you can fix from the terminal pretty quickly, or with Mac just use the inbuilt reset tool no matter how much a customer fucks up their machine.

I haven’t needed to tech support on any of my Apple stuff in the entire time I’ve owned them, I have at home both a Linux server and a Mac mini running as a headless server. Guess how many times I’ve had to fix the Mac mini 0.

My iPhone I’ve had 0 issues with and my M2 Air which I use for work has had 0 issues.

I don’t really see a situation where the sorting out a mac would be troublesome it’s pretty much all simple as hell.

Oh and fun fact, I have done tech support for apple stuff on a daily basis as part of my job as a store manager of a retail tech store and I’m constantly thrown problems from Android/iOS Devcies as well as MacOS, Linux & Windows Devices and guess which ones give me the most problems.

Sure and with that trade off I have a rock solid experience with no issues at all.

Sometimes you get tired of android and the jank and want shit that just works so you can get on with your day and just focus on other things.

I used IRC daily religiously for 15 years, but around 2011 I just stopped and never got back into using it. The client of choice was Xchat.

Cause I use an Apple TV and an iPhone?

Piracy and software was already really easy to use a decade ago ( sick beard / couch potato ) it’s just that the services at the time were good enough that you could watch practically everything on Netflix +1 so it wasn’t really a problem to stomach the cost. now I need 7 different subscriptions to watch shows I’m interested in which is a ball ache

For YouTube premium I just did the whole vpn to turkey and pay for a year upfront which was like £12 for the year

Apple Pay every day, and before that Google Pay. I haven’t really used cash in years.

There’s a very rare exception for like one store I visit that requires cash with an ATM next-door so I just pay by cash then but otherwise I’m using my phone/watch for all payments.

I got mine on release day and I’m currently at 93% it does seem a bit much.

If you have a pi kicking around or a docker instance of pihole you can use it to take over dhcp of the router and then set the dns servers in pihole.

That’s what I do currently on my home hub

I don’t think I would want to live in a world without cheese.

Chilli sauce, or I could just say just any hot sauce in general so Chilli/Pepper sauce because it works on practically everything.
