If you depend on this machine for living... You should have a spare machine. Way to recover data very fast if it breaks.... Way to fix it... It gets expensive pretty fast.

Also if you travel with Mac, you need to carry two laptops. There is no easy way to move NVME drive to new machine like with Pc laptops.

I was going to write very long answer. But I am drunk, my English is very bad, and do not care. So here are just a few key points:

* can I run Xfce or other WM on MacOS if its unix? On FreeBSD it is not o problem. I do not care about Mac native WM. Unix is about choice, I do not feel like that on Mac.

* It is not 1990tie. Everyone uses virtualization, even development for Solaris.

* Look at ollama install instructions. It expects you to pipe random URL into your shell and execute it. It asks for sudo password! How many MacOS users will do that on their only laptop, because they can not afford any extra RAM for virtualization or separate machine?! It is like doing random hookups at bar without condom!

* I do not care about operating system. For my it is a just a launcher for VirtualBox where I do my work. I need a lot of cheap RAM and SSD space for my workflow. Windows machine can do that, MacOS not (10000 USD machine does not count).

* GNU/Linux is so 2000. Many people run stack that has no GNU whatsoever. MacOS is very premium machine for this type of 1990ties mentality (single personal machine).

* Look into QubeOS I have machine for emails, browser, debuging... Machine where I can see production data has no access to Internet at all. Machine that can modify github repos is paranoidly locked down... I have a few physical machines on separate network to test random opensource stuff. It would cost probably million USD to replicate that on MacOS network eccosystem!

* I do not care about hardware. My laptop with 8TB SSD and 64GB RAM costs less than 1000 USD. Sometimes I just donate it to someone while traveling, not to carry extra two kilos (I replace RAM sticks and NVME disks). I got 10 of those on sale for 400 USD!

Because the operating system only supports devices with limited memory and storage.

I would love to run macos on my beefy workstation. But MacOS support for AMD Ryzen sucks.

It is. Energy drain through induction, depends on conductivity of environment. By putting cables there, you increase energy loss on main line.

Network frequency changes and fluctuates around 50hz. This change is random and unique. It is also captured on video/audio recording as background hum.

This data is quite valuable. You can reconstruct exact time (and region) when any video was taken.

It should connect and stay connected for 1 hour or so. Network transfer speed should be at least 1MBps.

It is quite possible unit is fine, but there is just interference at your place. Those small antennas are not good at dealing with it.

I thing macos sucks for Linux development. There is not enough memory and disk space for virtualization, so you run random scripts from Internet on your main machine. Command line tools are decades old and obsolete...

Just watch logseq tutorials, it is a style of taking notes ("outliner"?).

Key for me was to capture random notes under tags.

Energy is measured in joules and CO2 emmisions. EVs had free pass, because one day we may somehow move to solar. But in reality big part of energy is produced from coal and some fossil fuels. Some supercharging stations are even directly powered by diesel generators, solar can not provide megawatts of energy!

EVs had all sorts of excuses and magic multipliers. While in reality small ICE vehicles are very efficient and may produce less CO2 per mile!

> I have attention deficit disorder too and it's extremely difficult to start working on anything. I take top tier medication and it makes it much easier to maintain focus but getting started is still difficult.

What helps me is logseq journaling.

I put everything into journal with tags. Some time latter I move all tags into separate page. If doc grows enough, I reorganise it, I run it through ChatGPT to polish it and hit publish.

I never "start" writing, just filling random notes and when it grows, I have a lot of material to work with.

> only 10 or fewer legal abortions per month

It puts all non-profits into really bad light! Administrative work like filing police reports, should be their main focus to help victims!

Pi is build from cheapest components!

Broadcom is famous for their terrible Linux support (typical android style binary firmware blob dump). Many drivers are unofficial, only reverse engineered. Some commenter here even mentions patching binary blobs to fix issues!

Murata Type1GC mentioned here, goes back to 2015. It also has several compromises to keep size small. Hardly stellar config!

> Broadcom/Cypress/Infineon CYW stuff

> My conclusion: this entire ecosystem is deeply cursed

There is no curse, but cheap junk sold for premium price! Those components are designed for cheap laptops and tvs. Building networks and servers out of this foolish!

If you want stable WiFi, get Intel card connected over Pcie, not USB! It is like 20 USD with official WPA3 support!

This guy wrote book in 1989. There is a section, where he asks some NSA guy about project Echolon, and if they recorded some phone call he needs for investigation. 25 years before Snowden! Always cracks me up :)
