Linking to this from the Mac angle, but also good to raise the point that many of the amateur radio software packages are available for other platforms.

Had a discussion recently. Someone praised the boot speed of a recent M4 Mini and how it only took it 10 seconds to boot up and that you do not get this on any other hardware and operating system. I tried to explain that Mac's by default do not cold boot but hibernate. While 10 seconds are pretty long for booting up from hibernate. Meanwhile my 13 years old low-end Laptop, which actually cold booted took 14 seconds. They didn't listen of course ...

A Linux Terminal showing systemd-analyze which reports the time the system took to boot up with 13.9 seconds. Below is a print of neofetch showing system specification such as the operating System: Kalpa Desktop, CPU: Intel i5-3230M and GPU: GT 730M

Upgraded from Tahoe to Sequoia

Tahoe was grating. So, during sickness, I decided enough was enough and used the opportunity to move back to a system that was less grating even if it had started the rotting. I am back to Sequoia on my laptop and am figuring out a path to move back to Sequoia on my desktop. There’s no reason why we have to put up with Apple’s idea of progress.

I realize I find myself in a weird place. After years where I mostly agreed with Cupetino’s ideas of advancement, I am now staunchly against it. However, increasingly I am being proven right.

Apple vuelve a mover ficha con sus monitores 👀
Aparece un nuevo display en registros oficiales: LCD, sin OLED… pero con pinta de mini-LED y algo grande en camino.
¿Renace el Studio Display o por fin toca el Pro Display XDR? 🤔

Hello, Geeks et Geekettes du fedi.... J'envisage de passer mon vieux macbook pro sous linux (zorin). Comme je suis plutôt simpliste et "tout ou rien", hors de question de faire une partition et te faire tourner mac et linux dessus
... Juste une question : linux pourra t'il lire mes anciennes sauvegardes Time Machine ou dois je d'abord transférer ces données sur un autre disque dur externe de façon classique ??? Merci d'avance !

@mxk @AAMfP @akaruiwrx I'm currently looking into the MTNU profile, also designed by , apparently. Not as high as MT3, though, I think that's good. Not made with Drop but with Germany based GMK. Hope to have more luck with ISO-DE and caps ... No graphical modifiers ⌘ & ⌥ so far, though. 🤷‍♂️

A recent comment on one of my videos reminded me that some people think switching from Windows to Mac is somehow escaping their masters.

You are leaving one cage for another.

The Mac experience is great until you want to do something Apple has not pre-approved. True freedom is not just about a stable UI. It is about hardware repairability and software sovereignty, two things Apple has always fought against.

As Benjamin Franklin said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Don't trade your sovereignty for convenience.

I've ordered this 18-inch 2560x1600 display to replace the dying secondary display on my Mac Studio.

techpowerup.com/review/uperfec

The UPERFECT 18" QLED Portable Monitor, 2K 2560×1600, 144Hz Gaming Display, 500 Nits Brightness, FreeSync HDR, 100% DCI-P3, Ultra-Slim USB-C/HDMI Monitor

$237 @ Amazon

My beloved 4:3 aspect, 1600x1200, 20-inch HP LP2065 is near death (second one I've had, after the first died). I use this rotated for 1200x1600 and will use the new unit rotated, as well, on the same VESA arm.

It will be my new IRC screen, basically. Hope it works out well.
