I put a iPad Air in my bag on Apple's store yesterday. It went up $135 overnight. Cancelled. I'm not sure I do specifically iPad things on it (YouTube, web). Will look at some Android tablets I think. I don't think an iPad Air is worth 835.

Synology 923+. Turns out I’m the only one that connects to it in the house. I don’t actually need it. I’m now retired and really only need some external drives or some HDD’s in a hard drive docking station. I just got a docking station. I’ll grab a couple HDD’s and be done with it. Sell the Synology

I adore the font and the vibe. Maybe age or something but I love it.

I've been on the Mac since 2001 for my personal machines, with Windows at work and I've had linux installations on and off since late '92. I have decided that I won't replace my aging M1 MBP. I got an used thinkpad and installed Fedora 41. It's really been a stellar distro. I've been in it full time for a couple months now. Since I'm now retired I don't need to have the latest and greatest. Linux is just fine for me and the remaining development work I do. I guess I've always known I'd end up on Linux.

Hi I'm Darrel. I'm a generalist with 25 years experience in different technologies and languages, mostly backend focused. I am very comfortable working with legacy code as well as developing new applications/features. I am able to learn new technologies and systems and am equally comfortable as an IC or in technical leadership. I have worked with tech as varied as python2 to Apache Kafka.

I'd love to try something like this but my problem is that I routinely use 3 different computers throughout the day(Windows, Mac and Linux. Could this be used with git to keep things sync'd?

I love the 502 Hero mouse. I have the wired version on all my computers. Seems like it took me forever to find my perfect mouse.

I'm 65 and started a new job as a programmer a few weeks ago. I can relate to your brain elasticity issues for sure. I am really enjoying the new team and the work is fun but it does take its toll on my brain. By the end of a full day of coding or troubleshooting my brain feels... depleted. By friday I find it more difficult than in the past to quickly remember things.
I am doing well in the job and, due to a long career, have experience in a lot of the things they need. I am also still excited about learning new skills and toolsets and I'm in the right place for it.
But I do feel that the brain depletion, it feels like I have used something up - glycogen or something, is noticeable.
Any OTC recommendations would be appreciated.

Same. It took a long time for me to get still enough to really do anything.

As an aside, my grown daughter recently told me that to her numbers have always been gendered. I ran through them quickly and she matter of factly told me their gender. She doesn't work in tech but healthcare. She said it's always been like that.

I agree with this. In my experience working in the enterprise, Windows is less hassle and works just fine. The sweet spot for me is a Linux VM running on Windows. I get the best of both. WSL is good also.
I have been in unix since '90 and am most comfortable there for work but Windows fits into everything else in the office, as much as it can be done.

Senior developer with over 25 years experience. I am interested in many types of technologies and projects and am most willing to learn new things. I'm also not averse to legacy development. Prefer contract.

Mine was not dry. We brined it for 24 hours then cooked at 325 on the smoker. Came out moist and perfect. This is how I've done it for the last 3 years. Easiest way I've found to cook a turkey.
