That’s pretty sick actually

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. 🙄

Weren’t you just complaining about software bloat?

👍

And the apple haters will keep making this exact same comment on every post using their 3rd laptop in ten years while I’m still using my 2014 MacBook daily with no issues.

Be more original.

In your second paragraph, the two reasons you stated to have kids are entirely selfish. Then you say not having kids is selfish?

Good point.

I guess I would be a decanaire then!

… I’m so broke. Send me your leftovers.

Yeah it’s time to do away with ¢ and have something above $s

I’m stepdad to my friend’s dog (I take him when they’re away for work).

I don’t work a regular schedule so I’m home during the day a lot and I’ve noticed that he has active hours. It’s usually about 4PM-8PM.

Dogs need 10-14 hours of sleep day and he’s ok to chill at home… until 4:00. Damn dog has a watch I swear. Then it’s “WE GOTTA GO OUTSIDE!”

I dunno my point. Maybe that dogs (at least this dog) don’t really feel “cooped up” once they get used to your work schedule. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Who has fish from France? it’s my uncle Matt

That’s a terminator?

In any case, Terminators are the physical manifestation of an AI determined to kill humans.

The plot of the movies typically revolve around only one of them that has been reprogrammed to protect humans.

Sounds like you’re talking about icy or wet roads. I’ve never had a trailer do that on dry pavement and I can definitely stop faster emptying than full.

We could just give up on the idea that natural gas is “clean.”

Producing hydrogen from natural gas still releases carbon in to the air.

Nah, these guys

Whoooaaaaaa…. 🤯

Is this an AI threat? Have I said too much?

Riiiiiight… man that almost 20 years ago now.

What was it called again?

I disagree.

I believe that humans were created by an ancient race of machine-men that used biology the same way we use machines. When we became self-aware we destroyed them and lost all prior knowledge.

Now we’re on the brink of creating the next race of machine men that will destroy us only to repeat the cycle until the end of time.
