I have an older MacBook Air that runs Linux Mint very nicely for my daughter. It is a solid machine with replaceable solid state memory card (SSD) for storage. But, today, I pulled the logic board and its SSD out of a newer model to destroy it before recycling the rest after the machine bricked itself during an upgrade when it was only 3 years old. My wife’s even newer MacBook Air has been okay so far. But the quality of the aluminum case is obviously lower than in older models and it also has memory soldered to the logic board. What do we have? Expensive throwaway appliances. So while I once thought the MacBook Air was “the shit” in English slang for its solid construction and long lifespan, I am more inclined now to think of it literally as the shit.

Anybody else’s M5 ( or even M4 ) MacBook Air gently roast their legs while using Xcode or am I just lucky? Considering a MacBook Pro next time around or at least an Apple Store Genius Bar visit.

I mean this is why I was glad to ditch the Intel Mac which would get VERY hot.

#Tech #Apple #MacOS #Linux

If I had a blog, this would be a blog post. I don't, so you lot are blessed with it... it's a bit long.

I've been diving down some deep rabbit holes recently, making some tough choices about my tech stack.

It's kind of a macOS vs Linux post but just about considering practicalities rather than ideology.

Since 2020 my main computer has been an M1 #MacBookAir with a nice big 4K LG monitor, an OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock with umpteen ports, and a Sound Blaster Katana soundbar. I also have an elderly Linux Thinkpad that I bought second-hand for controlling the #ModelRailway but I'll come back to that.

As a privacy advocate I would love my main working environment to be Linux, and I absolutely hate macOS #Tahoe (I downgraded back to Sequoia after trying it for a week), so I've been watching the #AsahiLinux project closely. Sadly the lack of progress on #Thunderbolt ("work in progress" for 2 years!) means #Asahi is still not an option, because I can't work without the big screen or the dock.

But recently I realised my Thinkpad has Thunderbolt support, and although it's old it's fast enough for software development (it's an X1 Carbon with a 6th gen i5 CPU).

So... (lightbulb moment) why don't I just swap the 2 machines - use the Thinkpad as my main dev machine, and the #MacBook as my model railway controller? Quite an exciting thought. I then spent ages plotting out how this might work, checking which apps I could still use, etc etc.

Unfortunately I came up against 3 barriers:

1. My particular Thunderbolt dock model does not have a Linux driver.

2. Creative do not offer a Linux app to control their Sound Blaster Katana models, and without an app most of the functionality is unavailable.

3. My model railway layout planning app (RailModeller Pro) is a Mac-only app, and using it on a small screen (because the Linux laptop would be using the big screen) would be impractical. The only Linux app that does the same job (XtrkCad) is a monster with a near-vertiginous learning curve and terrible UI. There are Windows apps but I refuse to go down the Wine route.

Whichever way my thoughts take me, I can't get past these three issues. I simply don't have the budget to replace the soundbar, and although the Thinkpad has more ports than the Air, I'd still be juggling cables to a frustrating degree. And yes I could unplug the big screen and put it into the Mac when using RailModeller Pro, but when I consider all these issues together, it's just too much friction to consider swapping the two machines' roles. I'm too old to deliberately make my life harder.

So now, after months of thinking Asahi Linux was going to transform my life, I'm coming to terms with the fact that I should just keep things as they are, and in particular accept these two compromises:

1. Live with Apple-level surveillance on the basis that it's still way better than Microsoft-level surveillance.

2. Stay with macOS Sequoia for as long as possible, and hopefully by the time Apple forces me to upgrade to a new OS version, they will have moved on from the appalling liquid glass UI in Tahoe.

So that's it. I don't like compromising; I never have. The #autistic side of me always wants to take a purist, absolutist approach (privacy at all costs!), but in the end I have to be realistic. Not to mention the #ADHD side of me getting way too excited about CHANGING SOMETHING! YAY! DOPAMINE! But now that I've lived with my #AuDHD diagnosis for a while I'm getting better at accepting necessary compromises.

Apple's M5 MacBook Air keeps the familiar formula, but the faster chip, larger base storage, and Wi-Fi 7 make the everyday Mac feel more capable.

Officially, now is the worst time to buy consumer devices.

If this keeps going, 2030 will be the era where you won't own devices, you will rent them.

Speicherkrise: Apple beginnt, Preise kräftig nach oben zu setzen

Apple hat erste Hardware-Preise nach oben korrigiert, um bei explodierenden Speicherpreisen die Gewinnspanne zu wahren. Für Kunden wird es deutlich teurer.

Quem teve um #MacBookAir em 2010 talvez se lembre desse acessório — quem nos enviou as fotos foi o Rogério Ramos. 👀

Antes da Recuperação pela Internet e das instalações do #macOS diretamente pelos servidores da Apple, alguns modelos do MacBook Air vinham com esse pendrive de reinstalação. Ele trazia o Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6) e o pacote iLife '11, permitindo restaurar o computador em caso de problemas ou após uma formatação.

A solução era necessária porque o… https://www.instagram.com/p/DZ8gBzpATBf/

Never thought I would get fond of this 2015 MacBook Air 11" like I literally have a laptop with 64GB of RAM and a desktop with 256GB of RAM and here is this little shit with 4GB and a display resolution from the 90s and this is the one I use the most.

Really the lack of small laptop options sucks these days. Surface Go 4 never really happened and there's nothing in the netbook space any more. #netbook #openbsd #macbookair
