As noted here, it took about two years too long to move from an Intel Mac to a Mx Mac. Although I really dug my 2017 12” MacBook–yes, the little one with the funky Butterfly keyboard–I should have moved on from it much earlier than I did. The thing is, the reason I didn’t move … Continue reading Saved By A Raspberry Pi

Out With Old In With…
Been a long time coming, dear wurst-reader. The better-half and I bought 12” MacBooks–the ones with the funky keyboard–in 2016/17 respectively. Although the 2017 device served me well for a few years, as is always the case with Apple krapp, the time inevitably arrives where one bites the bullet and opens the wallet anew. On … Continue reading Out With Old In With…

Alternative worst-title: iPad Air 5 pseudo-review number 3 or how I might lose my worst-mind Was so looking forward to iPadOS 16.2 update, dear worst-reader. Reason? As noted here, worst-writer is kinda enamoured with the new iPad Air 5 (M1). In fact. I’m so impressed with this glass slate of tech I’m on the verge … Continue reading Screenshot From Almost Hell
Pseudo-Review – iPad Air 5, One Week Later
Previous pseudo-review is here. So. First. For some worst-context, here‘s a rundown of worst-writer‘s tech. MacBook 12“ (2017), i5/8gb/500gb iPhone 11 iPad Air 5 (2022), M1/64gb Raspberry Pi 4, 4gb For the past year or so I‘ve been using my better-half‘s hand-me-down iPad.

Pseudo Review: iPad Air 5 2022
Alternative worst-title: Has worst-writer purchased his last Macintosh (laptop)? One week later pseudo-review here. Took a few years, dear worst-reader. You know. Took a few years before I came round. Round to what, you ask. Well. The biggest reason I never really liked iPads and barely tolerate iPhones is because of one piece of modern … Continue reading Pseudo Review: iPad Air 5 2022
Boy You Best Prey I Bleed Real Soon
https://youtu.be/ux6zXguiqxM?t=535 Sub-worst-title: Thoughts on Apple’s Sept, 2022 event. First, dear worst-reader, the title of this worst-post is from the song Silent All These Years by Tori Amos. If, btw, you want to melt worst-writer, put me near Madame Amos. I would jump off mountains for her, bring down aeroplanes full of conservative idiots for her, … Continue reading Boy You Best Prey I Bleed Real Soon
Exploring Streaming, Finding Budgie
Volume control/Preamp from Mac Volume control/Preamp from the app Worst-title 2: Doing my worst-best to discover the convenience of music streaming As you’all may or mayn’t know, dear worst-readers, as an Apple fanboy, if I’m gonna finally break down (give-in) and try music streaming, it’s gotta be with Apple’s music service. Or? Indeed-1 After a … Continue reading Exploring Streaming, Finding Budgie
The iOS Regime
Can't update because you made it obsolete. Bitches! Ok. As you may or may not have worst-read, dear worst-reader, I’m an Apple fanboy. Well. I am until I boot-up my Raspberry Pi and get lost in Linux. #Nomatter. The thing about Apple is, I like MacOS. Is it the best operating system? Don’t know. It … Continue reading The iOS Regime
Pseudo-Review: Keychron K2 V2
Worst-title 2: This is one cool keyboard that I didn’t know I needed Every once-a-once, dear worst-reader, whether in a computer section of a retailer or fiddling around at an Apple Store, I always give keyboards a test. The thing is, as a MacBook user for the past (going on) twenty years, I’ve never really … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: Keychron K2 V2
Apple Fanboy Unfun And Bath Salts
Even though there’s a lot of know-non-sense here about worst-writer’s tech preferences, I’m always afeared to admit that I am an Apple fanboy (aghast). Which means, it cannot go un-worst-said: my choice of tech is NEVER about what one can do (w/ tech) but about what one can circumvent to make due (with tech). Or … Continue reading Apple Fanboy Unfun And Bath Salts
Oldest Profession vs Three Trillion Dollar Man
Screenshot from the #interwebnets Disclaimer: if you’d prefer to skip all the/my worst-writing about the pitfalls of being an Apple fanboy, scroll down to buzz-word-monopoly. As an Apple fanboy let me first get this out of the way: technology is never about what you can do but instead about what you cannot do. Taking that … Continue reading Oldest Profession vs Three Trillion Dollar Man
Desk Rig While Migrating To Linux
In worst-writer's quest to eventually (when exactly?) dump MacOS, I've been dabbling in Linux for quite some time. The problem, of course, is that I'm a very slow learner. Add to that the relative slowness of previous RPi's, I've not yet felt comfortable with Rasbian or any other Linux distro on the RPI3, with the … Continue reading Desk Rig While Migrating To Linux
Decimate Manufacturing
Trying to figure out the linked article below, dear worst-reader. Sometimes I have that problem as I scan the Interwebnets being the info junky I am. And while some articles perturb me, others disturb me, this one kinda makes one side of me head glow as though I were the missing target of unicorns and … Continue reading Decimate Manufacturing
Pseudo-Review: iPhone 6s > iPhone 11
Why go to 10 (or Xr or 8) when you can go to 11? For that is the worst-question, eh, dear worst-reader? I mean, wouldn't we all go to 11, always skipping the others, if we could? Or is the issue mute? Nomatter. The moment I'd been avoiding for so long by nursing my iPhone … Continue reading Pseudo-Review: iPhone 6s > iPhone 11
Apple Pay, Credit Bureaus, Moneyed History Straight Line To Now
When did it begin in my beloved & missed united mistakes of #Americant, dear worst-reader? When did the obsession to consume-to-survive through the happy monetary machine of plastic begin? When did that little plastic card replace hard earned cash someone's grandparents slaved for--or wheel barrelled into a bakery in Berlin in 1923 to buy bread? … Continue reading Apple Pay, Credit Bureaus, Moneyed History Straight Line To Now
Network Station Galore In Pine64 Heaven
And yet another update is here. UPDATE (to this post): The Rock64 with 4-bay drive enclosure (the gadgets on the left in the pic above) failed the other day. That means, this entire post is null & void. Oh how I wanted the Rock64 (from Pine64) to succeed. But I suppose, for tech newbie/wannabees like … Continue reading Network Station Galore In Pine64 Heaven
It Takes A Licking And Keeps On…
Subtitle: My friends 2015 MacBook has been through hell. An old friend came by the other day to mooch of an extra bed on his way to a boating thing in Köln. He does that once or thrice a year, don't you know. I mean, wouldn't you? He gets a nice place to sleep (saving … Continue reading It Takes A Licking And Keeps On…
Ok. This Hurts.
Even though the Apple store where I bought the same configured MacBook as the heavily discounted one in the link below in January, where they discounted mine by only €250,-, the idear of someone else lucking out and getting $600,- off, really hurts. Of course, it doesn't matter at this point. I'm really digging my … Continue reading Ok. This Hurts.
Welcome To NAS Hell
Update to this post here. Pseudo alternative subtitle: Years of digital living is hard to leave behind. But behind it must be left. As mentioned here, I've been telling myself for years, and thereby avoiding a certain kind of reality, that I need a NAS (networked-attached-storage). Although I was able to circumvent having to own … Continue reading Welcome To NAS Hell
Never Quite Knowing Exactly What You’re Doing–The #Americant Way
Disclaimer: some poignant and verbose language is in this post. Good luck. Yeah, dear worst-reader. We're here once again. It's time to get it on about my beloved & missed #Americant, the Land Of Free To Be Stupid, where dysfunction wallows in a toilet bowl that some think is a swamp and will never, ever, … Continue reading Never Quite Knowing Exactly What You’re Doing–The #Americant Way
How Compulsives Run The Show
We live in a world of Trump-Uglies and the disgust his ilk pro-creates. We live in a world of teeth-less, comb-over dog-fights that are clawless due to cosmetics and ill-fitted matrimony. And even better... We live in a world that is not lead by the merit of one's or the collective's actions. No. Indeed. We … Continue reading How Compulsives Run The Show
Let’s Call It Red-Brass, Shall We?
Dabbling away, dear worst-reader. Dabbling away with the fancy of my new MacBook aka exuberant über glorified typewriter. Not quite two weeks in my consume-to-survive possession, the only issue I'm having with it so-far is the colour. Seriously. I love the keyboard. Don't mind the single USB-C port (as I've got plenty of dongles already … Continue reading Let’s Call It Red-Brass, Shall We?
Pseudo Unboxing & Review Of 2017 12″ MacBook
Title 2: Or How I Got My (Almost) Pink On What is it you do, dear worst-reader? In other worst-words, what do you do between the hell-day that is modern western consumerism run-amok aka Xmas combined with the ending of yet another krappy (worst) year in a universe lead by the greatest land of free … Continue reading Pseudo Unboxing & Review Of 2017 12″ MacBook
Apple’s Macs quite literally a dirty secret and there need be more lawsuits (I guess)
And to think all those years where I literally tore my Macs apart to de-dust them... I knew there was something up. And now... I have to be honest. I don't quite know what they mean by "flogging" in this post. Oh well. Rant on. -T The lawsuit claims that Apple is flogging computers and … Continue reading Apple’s Macs quite literally a dirty secret and there need be more lawsuits (I guess)
