But jumping between computers is such a rare occurrence for me. I used the same MacBook Pro from 2014 to 2022 and was never without the machine for more than 8 hours.
I optimize for my personal daily productivity. I don't optimize for a once in 3 year or once in 8 year occurrence. That would be suboptimal overall. If some kind of emergency occurs, I'll manage, but I'm not going to base my whole workflow on the remote possibility of an emergency.
- infecto 2y ago"I can't be without my MacBook Pro for the indefinite period of time ensuing from mail-in repair". It cannot be both suboptimal and cannot be without. No need to be defensive either. I was simply sharing that I have found it easier to have a desktop backup on hand but I also don't have any incantations to do to get my working environment setup. Also worth nothing that every time I have shipped in a Macbook for repair I was giving a timeline and it always came back before the deadline. Shame they don't give out the number of days anymore.
- lapcat 2y ago> It cannot be both suboptimal and cannot be without. This is just being pedantic. When I said that I can't, I didn't mean it's literally impossible. I meant that it would be a major, intolerable hassle, and thus I refuse to accept Apple's ridiculous terms.
- infecto 2y agoI am sorry you embellished your story and cannot stand when people provide helpful alternatives.
- lapcat 2y agoWho has been helped by your comments?
- infecto 2y agoLike I said sorry for offending you. No need to be so hostile.
- lapcat 2y ago> Like I said sorry for offending you. That's not what you said. You said, "I am sorry you embellished your story and cannot stand when people provide helpful alternatives", which is a blatant insult, not an apology. > No need to be so hostile. You've been hostile from the beginning, wrongly second-guessing or criticizing me in every single one of your comments.
- infecto 2y agoOk sorry.
