oh my god what, the "macbook neo" has the old style display cable that passes through the hinge https://support.apple.com/en-ca/126159

first macbook in a decade that won't have random display cable failures???

i realize it's _such_ a low bar, but they're finally approaching the standard of the 2015-17 macbook airs again. minus replaceable ssd, plus replaceable keyboard. i didn't expect it at all

antagonizing the other swifties by interpreting "you go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me" as a node with three spokes rather than a linear chain

today's cattleya pic since it feels unfair to post endlessly about the phalaenopsis propagation drama and never even show my favorite orchid, just because it's comparatively easy to duplicate

omg, i think those little bumps will be roots? maybe i can separate it after a few more months!

also added the paste to 3 more (purple and white, pink and white, and mini yellow and white; this one is white and orange)

pleasantly surprised to be wrong about this! the 8 gb memory is a little worrying long-term but fully expected with a18 pro. other tradeoffs are perfectly fine and it looks nice?

won't be shopping for a laptop for a long time, and i have.. other concerns about apple right now, but fairly impressed nonetheless

@samhenrigold i really, really want to try that apparently non-force-touch touchpad? can you click at the top???

long-term im nervous this'll get disappointingly short macos support due to the 8 gb, but i doubt it will *feel* slow since the m1 still (usually) doesn't. maybe they'll put a19 pro with 12 gb next year.

a downside to this laptop that i didn't anticipate is that it's just always cold to the touch. it's unpleasant

ugh, my lips "were chewed on" a lot in the last couple hours. someone really should've prevented it

@marioguzman ive seen this a few times on tahoe, i think it's getting confused by /.nofollow (which points back at / but disables symlinks)?

if you drag the impostor hd to terminal or a text editor, you should be able to see the real path

@saagar genuine question, how dumb is "i am already fucked if malware runs as my regular user, so idc about escalation or persistence"? it has kind of always been my stance as a casual user but i suspect im missing something

@aronia are the vowels still for sale then

they're generating slop about this one (i wish ~any of this were true lol)

can't even compete with the 11" for daily use, but happy to have a machine that runs macos 26 without patches (and will run 27 in june at all)

expected to regret ordering a "no power" m1 macbook air on ebay but works after removing a single shorted capacitor in keyboard backlight circuit?? not even activation locked??? i now have a working arm mac?????

supposedly via "generation z" x "boomer", which i can't verify but im confident it predates covid and widespread use of the zoom software

@mjd omgg thank you
