Hardware
MacBook Pro M4 14in
I just could not bring myself to give Microsoft another Windows 11 activation to brag about and encourage their user hostile business practices. So after over year of research, testing, and lust I settled on getting a MacBook which is something I never thought would be possible. But after seeing my days as a Windows only user and giving Linux a real hard core try as my laptop OS on my Lenovo X260, I decided a MacBook was actually a pretty good fit. In my efforts to move to Linux and my use case changing over time I found it was easy to go MacOS as well.

I’ve gone from HTC, to Moto, to the Pixel line, and have found myself in the Samssung camp now. And it is the most satisfied I’ve been with a phone since the first Moto X. The Pixels are a never ending parade of game breaking updates and hardware decisions. Samsung has not once broken any functinoality of my phone in the year I’ve had it. While every other month Google broke some core function of my Pixels…bluetooth, phone calls (in a new way everytime), charging, notifications, etc.
