Wie oft löscht ihr die #TimeMachine #Backups eures Macs?

Ich hab die Backups meines #MacBook Air M2 noch vom ersten Tag auf der externen SSD. Jetzt wird leider so langsam der 1TB Speicher eng. Macht es sinn die Backups von vor Jahren aufzuheben?

Heute morgen einem 2015er Pro mit wieder Lebensenergie eingehaucht. Akkulaufzeit mit nur noch 35 min, mit knapp 2,5h.

Jetzt rennt es wieder und steht einem X1 (8 Gen.) in nichts nach. 🏎

My next work device will be an #apple #Macbook Pro.
I'm afraid of the change, especially the changed command and ctrl keys usage. Let's see where this goes!
Do you have any cool recommendations to get it closer to #linux?

#iPhone 8から17に買い替えて2週間ほど経ちますが、使ってるアプリなどは以前と変わらず。#MacBook Airとの関係性も8のころと変わってないような。iPhone17とMacBook Airを持ってるからこそ、こんなことやってるか?などがあれば教えてほしいです。

I got my hands on a 2014 #macbook air with 4GB of RAM. What's the best/most fun/quirkiest #Linux distro I could install on it?

This has also led me to using the #MacBook again. (When you need a cursor, you need a cursor.) I forgot how sharp the edges of the M3 MacBook Air are; it's actually pretty damn painful!

It's funny how different the first-boot process for OpenBSD and macOS is. On OpenBSD I did a bunch of performance tweaks (mainly joining the staff group and adjusting values in sysctl.conf) then added the packages I wanted and went about my way, with the exception of that touchpad problem, of course. On macOS I went through a guided setup that did its damnedest to push me towards certain settings with iCloud, Apple Intelligence, etc. and then I cast about for ways to remove and replace various software.

On that subject: I'm finding Ghostty to be just fine, the browsers are all the same, and Rift (github.com/acsandmann/rift) gives me a more reliable tiling experience than any of the other solutions I've tried on macOS. Right now the only hang-ups involve remapping Caps Lock to Command. That almost allows me to emulate the ctrl:nocaps I set on other platforms, but if I need to C-c something in the terminal, I have to find the damn Control key itself. Probably I'll experiment with Karabiner or Kanata to come up with a sensible modifier layout.

Anyway. I'm coming off a long sickness that ran through my entire family, so I'm bloviating. Onward.

I love surfin' the web on this "old" #Macbook. I miss the look and feel of older #MacOSX.

Prepping my things to install on my . Such anxiety! Which is crazy bc I spend uh 90% of my time staring at a window. You can do that anywhere!

I'm at a crossroads when it comes to my #computers upgrade cycles. My 2020 M1 #MacBook Pro is still good just as the day I bought it, but its 6 years old and with #Apple further embracing #AI as a tool for driving sales and subscriptions, it won't be long before the company drops support for 1st generation silicon. My #Windows11 laptop is also an #Intel 10th generation; on device AI is non-existent, which means Feature Updates might end support in a few years.

You know what's crazy to me? I paid tons of money for a 16" M4 Max 48GB pro, because its processing power is about 2x compared to my 16's ryzen ai 9 hx 370 .. and yet, the user experience of is noticeably slower compared to my @fedora @kde. A lot slower. The animations take forever when opening/closing apps, and it being Apple, you of course can't change any of that.

2x faster machine on paper, 2x slower machine in day to day use. Make it make sense.

Has anyone successfully installed Sequoia on a #MacBook that came with 26 pre-installed?

I upgraded to 26 for a hot minute and then immediately reinstalled sequoia but I wonder if that's an option if it's not what your Mac originally came with.

If that's hard or impossible, I will probably stick it out with my M1 for a while longer.
