@Unionhawk Yes

Well, Bridge, it finally happened

I'm on a Macbook

@Wipqozn Yesssss

@SaintWacko M1 I assume? Please don't get the Intel MacBooks

I'm literally using mine as a space heater

@PrivatePansy Yeah, it's one of the new M1 Max Macbooks

New work machine

Crazy battery life

Excellent speakers

I'm slowly getting used to it

Tweaking it to be a bit more like linux/windows

Waiting for my company to upgrade to it. It'll happen... sometime next year I think

The current one is not bad, but the thermals is awful. I literally put ice packs under mine to stop it from throttling

@SaintWacko ONE OF US, ONE OF US

I need a new laptop lol

I might pick up a Framework

idk

@Unionhawk If you have a choice of laptops that would be the one I get

holy and it's about $1000 configured as diy, i5, bring your own os (I have 9 windows 10 keys and 10 windows 11 keys), 2x8 ram, 1tb ssd (and $80 less for 500 gb)

hmm

JoJo's Bizarre adventure, Avatar, Arcane, Rick & Morty, Inside Job, Masters of the Universe, Cowboy Bebop, Bad Boys for Life, Birds of Prey, Ready Player One, Dredd on Netflix; Shang-Chi, Black Widow, What If?, Agent Carter, Firefly, Agents of Shield, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Frozen 2, Soul, Coco and The Mandalorian on Disney+, and Interstellar, Invincible, Mr Robot, The Boys, The Expanse and Wonder Woman 1984 on Amazon Prime

I think I may have overdone my "predownload before vacation" list

@PrivatePansy What would you get if you don't have a choice of laptops?

@Wipqozn Whatever my company gives me. Right now it's the 16 inch 2019 MBP

@PrivatePansy Battery (for some reason "Battery" is the word my autocomplete suggested replying with).

@Unionhawk does it come with a GPU as well?

@Nzall No discrete it looks like

No just the 11th gen intel onboard

eh

For a dev machine it's probably acceptable unless you want to run heavy machine learning workloads

I mainly need a good, like

docs and shit computer that I can take to a library or whatever

And I don't even really need one right now just, sometime soonish

lol the office now blocks google update for some reason

so now there's an annoying popup every time I open chrome

lol

someone if the office IT decided they wanted to annoy everybody. Or an exec that thinks it will change something and twisted ITs arm to do so

reminds me when i was in college for some fucking reason the IT guys did put that the default search engine on chrome was bing instead of google

like its not oops something changed it, someone needed to make a statement and put it default. Always wondered why

A google hater taking a stand?

I'm certain you can find someone that would argue with you to death that Edge or even IE is SO MUCH BETTER THAN CHROME

I would guess that their main argument will be oH bUt In EdGe GoOgLe DoEsNt TrAcK yOu!!!

Spoiler: They still can and Microsoft also tracks you AF.

I am 3 major versions behind the version in Software Center tm

seems fine

everything is working as intended

ISO doesn't like it when software updates without a forced restart, causing about a 1 hour delay for my desktop

Office IT is the worst

@Nzall until something like this happens

Finally got around to today's AoC. They're so much fun
