Why blank out the name of the poster?

I’m also in the UK, so yeah…

But yeah, it’s a Linux distro based on Fedora that’s been developed to run on M-series Mac hardware.

Odds on he went into the office at 18:30 to take a photo of how empty it was so he post on LinkedIn about what a grinder he is.

They’ve brought the hammer down on this. I was happily ‘traveling to Ukraine’ with my Apple TV to watch YouTube without ads for the equivalent of around £3 a month for over a year. Last month they canned our Premium.

I use yt-dlp to download my subs into a Plex folder now. Fuck ‘em.

Oh god, he’d have no idea at all. He text me after I helped him set up his new one because Plex wasn’t working.

The server hadn’t been set to launch at login.

He loves his toys, but has almost no idea how to use them.

My main is an M2 Air, so I’ll use the M1 at work so I can finally give my creaking 2014 mini the retirement it deserves. But not before I’ve given Asahi a proper airing on it to see whether I can daily drive it.

Oh, I know that. But he’s got the money and enjoys his toys.

If you’re trying to install a newer version of macOS than your Mac will allow, then Opencore Legacy Patcher is your friend.

I’ve used Macs since 2007, when Apple weren’t quite so shitty, and macOS wasn’t so irritating. I’d only ever used Windows until that point, so Linux wasn’t anywhere on my radar.

Linux on Intel Macs is solid. I have Mint on my old 2011 MacBook. Linux on M-series Macs is still, by all accounts, a work in progress. I’ve dipped my toes into Asahi, but I’d not really fucked with Linux at that point so got a bit overwhelmed and couldn’t work out whether the issues I was having were because of Linux in general, or because Asahi was still being smoothed out and optimised. But now I’m quite a bit more familiar with Linux, and have just been given an M1 mini so I’m going to dig back into it. If that works out for me, I’m going to do the same on my M2 MacBook.

Also; tribalism.

Did you switch to it from Android or iOS? Because as someone who's only used iOS since 2010, I imagine it'll be one hell of a shock.

My dad took delivery of his yesterday, and it really is a marvel.

Of course, literally all he’ll use it for is as a Plex server so he could have carried on with his M1 mini. But it does mean that I now have an M1 mini to mess about with.
