  • Dude, making coffee at home is not insignificant. I drink my coffee black and even that is like $2/coffee (which someone told me has gone up at Tim Horton’s since I was last there). Multiply that by the 3-4 coffees I drink a day and you’re looking at $30-$40/week which becomes becomes $120-160/month.

    I can buy a can of coffee that lasts me two months and make it at home for $10. That’s a $370 savings every two months. (CAD)








  • Still gets security updates. All the software I need to run on it runs on it.

    My email, desktop, and calendar all still sync with my newer desktop. I can still play StarCraft. I can join zoom meetings while running Roll 20. I can even run Premiere and do video editing… to a point.

    I guess if you need the latest and greatest then you might have a point, but I don’t.

    This whole thread is bitching about software bloat and Apple does that to stop the software bloat on older machines, but noooo that’s planned obsolescence. 🙄











  • I grew up with an Apple IIgs as the family PC (in the 90s; we were poor). Then my family got a free Performa PPC through a program my mom was doing in ‘97. The computer after that was a Windows PC and I never liked it as much.

    So when the time came to buy my own computer I went back to a Mac and haven’t regretted it.
