pacemakers all have a feature where doctors can temporarily disable them by putting a magnet on the person’s chest.

i got an m1 macbook air on sale for 15% off or something which was mildly unbeleivable given how new they are. its really great. i like that is is just a loving laptop, its not gimmicky at all, it just has a keyboard and a screen and poo poo works well. the only mildly bullshitty thing has been brew, but that's just a few formulae here and there (like neovim).


i think i have also reached critical mass with usb-c now, and it doesn't annoy me anymore. monitor, work laptop, home laptop, switch are all usb-c. hooray im living in the future

i paid full retail for mine but it’s ok because the m1 air owns. it’s an actual good laptop, like Apple used to make before the Touch Bar and the butterfly keyboard. the lack of ports kinda sucks but the m1 makes up for it. fanless but still plenty fast for laptop things, including dev

I’ve been using Apple Fitness+ for the last two weeks (since I got my Series 6 watch). The yoga workouts in particular are extremely good. Originally I was just going to use the three-month free trial and hope that by the end of it I’d be vaccinated and be able to go to the gym again, but now I’m pretty sure I’ll keep it.

What is the newest apple computer that can't update past 10.12?

One of my students has that situation and is upset that they can't install the current adobe suite, and like I really do feel for the ones who are financially struggling and have to make do with what they have but at the same time I have a feeling that the computer must be really old considering that os is like five generations old now

Hrm... I don’t see any limited to 10.12 here. There seem to be a lot of cutoffs in the 10.11 (which seem to be models up to early 2009) and 10.13 (with models starting in late 2009 through around 2011).

maybe they dont have enough hard disk space to perform the upgrade?

unlikely, cause school poo poo takes up a lot of space so they prob have an external or something to shovel crap onto when internal disk gets full, but maybe they're just lazy

was that the one where the license information was printed on a little slide-out plastic card?

hardware ctrl-alt-del buttons

the motorola xoom shipping with a "coming soon" fake sim card [and also the sd card slot didn't work]

was it the xoom or the playbook that had the flaw where if they discharged their batteries down to 0% they would never charge or startup ever again?
