I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

Agree with Elyvande @Gremlinertia , best of luck going forward for you 😊

Got a chippers takeaway, no onion rings for me tonight, a southern fried chicken kebab and chips 🙈 Haven't had one in a few years, they're fecking huge , stuffed.com here now.

Was it you or someone else here who worked for Apple ? Why the Windows machine ? Or maybe I dreamt that ?

I used to work for them. 2012-2016. That's when I got hooked on Mac, and Apple products in general. My current employer is firmly in the Windows camp, though. Although to be fair, our IT department is trialling some Macs. I think the numerous vulnerabilities of both Intel's chip architecture and the fact that Windows is by far the biggest target for attacks may have spooked them a bit.

Just home after a few hours out, absolutely stuffed, in pain from food but I just had to finish it.2 pints and out again tomorrow evening, dry January definitely starting on Monday.

Lashing rain and very windy here again, love it when I don't have to set the alarm clock...another weirdo experience earlier, I give up.🙄😁

Nah, bad vibes , tiocfaidh mo là...go tobann.🤞🤞😁

As they say, once you go Mac, you don't go back...

I know the feeling though. And to be honest, my love for Mac is beginning to wane. Some of their recent product & design decisions, combined with their increasingly out-of-touch pricing, have me looking over the fence at Android & Windows when my mobile contract comes up for renewal this fall. Especially considering how far foldables have come over the last few years.

My OH had a MacBook air for 11 years and used it heavily every day. Definitely good value if it lasts that long. MacBook air is the best price/performance/weight from them. Also, the precious year model is sometimes better than the current year's at a decent discount. Still, very expensive. It's a minefield to be honest. Need to do your research.

Lashing rain here.

Wind has stopped.

Time for cornflakes.

Ah yes, the MacBook Air. That was my gateway drug into the Apple ecosystem as well. Late 2012 11" model. Got it for 300€ by stacking all my employee discounts at Apple, down from a retail price of around 900€. Had it for almost five years and only sold I then I took over my mom's MacBook Pro after she'd passed away (Guess who got her hooked?).

For what it's worth, Apple has a Refurbished & Clearance section on their website where you can find Apple products that were returned and refurbished. That's where I got my current MacBook Pro from. You can score some pretty good deals there if you're looking for an iPad or Mac. They're still not cheap but definitely more affordable than new devices.

Just entering our 3rd week of rainy days, definitely strange for this part of the world.

DAKAR is going to have another couple of rough days if the forecast is correct.

It’s Alfie 😂😂😂

Looks like a Westie.

Edit ...

Not sure - Is Alfie a Westie ?

Alfie Westie has a nice ring to it.

Kind of sounds like a Blur song name.

In a real old slump.

Tea!
