This hour's random desktop background on my #MacbookPro is this shot of one of the very first Macs. Lemme explain...

I was working as the Sports Editor of a small rural weekly in Reedley, CA in 1986 in an office that did not even allow electric typewriters. I forced them to let me use a Tandy 102 laptop, and they thought it was from the Devil.

A summer intern showed up with one of these. When she opened Pagemaker 1.0 and turned a 12 point "A" into a 72 point "A', I was hooked on Apple forever.

@newfangled The last device running #windows I owned was my first #notebook running #windows7, sometime before 2015.

In 2015 I switched to a #macbookpro and worked with #macos for 5 years.

In 2020 I formatted my MacBook’s drive and installed a #linux system. After some distro hopping #archlinux with #gnomedesktop became my daily driver. But depending on your needs another distro could fit for you.

So if you need some help, just ask me.

Of course, Apple can’t resist the opportunity to do a bit of product promotion in connection with their hit show Severance. But the webpage they set up for their video on the editing of the show is so on point. And I personally always enjoy a chance to look behind the scenes!

habe gerade ein älteres #MacBookPro #MBP mit #Touchbar hier.

Meine Meinung:

PRO: Spannendes Konzept! z.B. die Entwicklungsumgebung zeigt dann Tasten zum Debuggen etc. an was sehr bequem sein kann

CONTRA: … blöderweise nur für die App die gerade aktiv ist! Debugge ich also eine iOS-App und habe den iPhone-Simulator aktiv => keine Debugging-Tasten mehr um mit Fokus auf der App im Hintergrund/Fenster daneben durch Zeilen zu springen

Etwas weiter gedacht wäre das eine geniale Sache (gewesen)

Hey fedi friends,

I’m currently decluttering and found my old #MacBookPro. I figured it wasn’t good for anything except recycling at this point but then I noticed Apple will still buy them back so... I figured I’d see if any fedi friends have need of an Early 2015 MacBook Pro.

I’m sorry if it’s so ancient that the offer is silly but if you just wanted to check emails/apply to jobs/write a book/etc. it would still probably serve you well.

Warning! - As befitting a laptop on fedi, it is covered in liberal and queer propaganda :blobhaj_heartrainbow: (Sorry for the pic, of course I'll give it a good dusting before sending your way!)

#Free to good home, preferably someone who needs it :neocat_heart: if you can cover shipping that's great but if that's not in budget I can pay to ship to US addresses. (DMs open)

Specs in pic, charger included (probably several as I find them). Again, sorry if this is ridiculous!

This hour's random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is a shot of "Katy" - my former #Cherokee235 - and I on short final to the rarely-used RWY 2 at Hillsboro, OR (KHIO).

If you look carefully at the airspeed indicator, you'll see it pegged at 70 mph. That was the sweet spot for landing this Cherokee, as the big "Hershey Bar" wings provided a good bit of ground effect over the numbers. I barely had to flare it, seemed almost like autoland.

This hour's random desktop background image on my #MacbookPro is this beautiful #Basler BT-67 turboprop DC-3 conversion...on SKIS!

If you do not know about Basler, they do a spinner to tailcone rebuild of DC-3/C-47 airframes and hang a pair of Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67R engines with Max continuous 1,220 shaft H.P., and add a full Genesys glass avionics package.

The BT-67 is well-known around the world for making a stout and dependable airframe even more impressive.
