Over the past decade or so, I've managed to accumulate four laptops:
Love seeing the older machines! I’ve got a pile of old machines too and they rock. They are slow but you know what to expect and you tolerate it because the machine has earned it. Much like a grand parent 🫣
Strangely, on Pearl, the brand new Linux with brand new software actually runs faster and cooler than OSX.
There was also a period of about two years where Amethyst was more powerful than Garnet, although I would blame this on Garnet trying to run Windows 10 with only 4GB of RAM while Amethyst had 8GB and ran Linux Mint.
I tolerate slowness, but I also usually manage to reduce it to the point where it's not a problem anymore.
hi. noob here, and i need know how you set a custon firefox page
I use a plugin/extension called Tabliss, makes a nice customizable homepage for firefox.
Custom homepage and, then, there is an option to open your home page instead of a new tab... I think that is how you do it, but I haven't looked at this in a while.
From what I can see it's just an html file (local website) that is just shared between the laptops.
Yeah, I just made a basic HTML page, which I keep in my home folder. To set it in Firefox, open settings and change the homepage from "Firefox Home" to "Custom...", then enter the path into the box underneath. If you're using a local file like I am, remember to put file:/// at the start of the URL. The process is similar in SpiderWeb, which is my browser on OS X.
