My post Mortem sentiments exactly. The lack of Nvidia GPU support for the M series Mac Pro models kneecapped the platform for professionals. If Apple had included that in those they’d be the defacto professional workstation for many more fo

I switched to Ubuntu last week for my desktop. First time in my 25+ year career I’ve felt like Microsoft was wasting my time more than administering a Linux desktop would take. The slop effect is real.

Half of the country has been left behind to the extent that they are worse off financially than their parents at the same age and have no path to improvement. It just keeps getting worse for them. The other half of the country thinks they a
