Hmm, interesting.

Not quite. It’s $33/year subscription, $100 to buy it outright ($200 for pro).

If it was a one time $33 I would have purchased it a decade or two ago.

I think Vuescan is really pretty good software that’s at least twice as expensive as I’m willing to pay for it. Every time I come across it as a solution to a problem I realize that I could replace the obsolete hardware for the same or less.

Yes, I’ve seen those issues. Thankfully I don’t have to use Teams or Zoom and I use LibreOffice whenever I’m in need of office apps, which is rare for me.

If that’s a concern Ventura runs reasonably well via OCLP.

I still run Monterey on my MBP 2015 and haven’t found anything that doesn’t work for me.

I tried using newer OSs via OCLP but they were notably less performant and I seem to dislike most of the design changes Apple is making of late (they keep hiding shit I use all the time)

I’m only seeing one?

They did just pour boiling water all over that area, should be relatively safe

Ok

I never completed it, just managed to squeeze in a few hours on the school’s brand new Apple lls (I think that’s what they were but I could be misremembering, it’s been a minute)

I had cat allergies as a kid, but my first girlfriend in college had a cat, and after a week or two of waking up with eyes crusted shut every morning I just got over it. Glad I did because I love cats, toxoplasmosis notwithstanding.

Hey friend, sorry about that, but there’s just way too much on them otherwise. I end up wiping them down with a napkin and giving up after a handful if they have the typical amount of salt on them—I don’t know how people do it

It has to cost them more than $2 in materials and time for my order; I’m slowly putting them out of business ;p

The McDonalds in my area is pretty amazing (Silverthorne CO). There’s always like 10 employees and it just hums in there. I only ever order from the app; I get a large fries no salt and a large unsweetened iced tea for $2. The fries are always fresh (no salt is key) and they are ready within a minute of me walking in the door.

Thanks for the suggestion!
