i'm comfortable assuming it's just my local store. i have something like five i could get to locally, but i just don't need apple stuff that frequently.

one thing that helped the flow of the experience back in the Long Ago was that there was a coherent place to go to check out when you were done, whereas the modern model is 'hope someone stops talking to their coworkers long enough to notice you look like you need something from them...' again though that may be the management and staff of my one closest store.

I might be misunderstanding what you're saying but you've been able to "check out" on your phone and walk out for years, right? I've definitely done that a few times. Yes firing up the Apple Store app is dumb but it beats waiting around

can you? legitimately had no idea and nobody ever mentioned it and it’s not posted anywhere

(lol at 1 - the idea of a sign being taped up somewhere, and 2 - the idea that sign says “hey we’re very busy chatting up our friends, please use the apple store app to gently caress off instead of bothering us”)

my partner keeps having his Admin privileges turned off in the Apple Home app for some reason, and theres no way to make him the Owner without deleting the home and starting over. I was trying to troubleshoot this and discovered the best way to google for it is "wife lost admin home" because all the loving guys asking about it on Reddit and Apple Support, they always say it's their wife.

yeah they can provide internet via usb now. just turn on your hotspot and plug it into your computer. it autodetects and sets it up on both win10 and osx.

blackbook air picks up unsightly fingerprints every time I touch it. but more importantly it’s the only colour that is unmistakably the new M2. nobody will see it and think I have the old one or, god forbid, an Intel one.

mackbooks always have a too-sharp edge on the front because of ~ d e s i g n ~ or whatever. I always have to take a file to the front and ease the edge, which cuts through the anodizing and exposes the aluminum to my caustic bodily secretions.

quote:

Is gallium toxic?

Gallium metal is considered safe to play with and handle, and is considered non-toxic in its elemental form. Gallium compounds are mildly toxic, they are not considered dangerous but should not be inhaled or ingested. We don’t recommend eating elemental gallium, but if small quantities were accidently ingested, it most likely would not be harmful.

gallium is neat because it's a metal with a melting temp around 80 degrees F so it'll melt in your hand. I have a tube of it on my desk.
