   >> The 2016+'s seem incredibly soft. I had a 2016 13" Pro fall off the arm of a couch, in a zippered soft case, and then rivet that attaches the handle to the soft case impacted the side of the laptop near the ports on the s

   I wish core counts hadn't gone crazy. Our developers are using PHP, Python, and Visual Basic so none of it gets used. A 6-core system is perfect. However, we end up buying 12, 14, 16 cores. And to make it worse, we buy dual CPU's

    All your big hardware stores sell their own line of tools now (Lowe's I think even sills crafstman now) All your 'cheap' tools come from Harbor Freight And the high-end is still Snap-on, MAC, SK, those kind of companies So wh

    Our Sears store is finally closing it's doors this month. It took long enough. 20 years ago I worked there, selling Packard Bell and Macintosh computers, as well as vaccums. Who decided those departments should be merged, I don't

    Mac user since 2010. At the time the laptop hardware was just so far ahead of anything else when it came to battery life and sleekness. I still like it for general use (web, development, terminal stuff). But the hardware is driving me away.

    Love the preview you get when you hover over an app icon in the taskbar. I'm not sure why Apple hasn't added this as a native feature. Hyperdock has had it for years. I even wrote my own little proof-of-concept version of it: h

    Windows is doing a good job of ruining file management/Explorer in Window 10 I've never had Explorer crash so damn much. Another of my least-favorite features is how they group your files by recently used now. Ugh. Then you have Q

    I bought a used Lenovo P50 for $450, added another SSD, it has 48GB and an i7 so it's overkill. VMware ESXi, with VM's for Squid, DNS, MySQL, Nginx, Apache, basic file server, Gitlab, and one that's basically for IRSSI Strong

    The very last one on the list, TextWrangler, is simply a 32-bit app. No big deal. They have offered BBEdit (the big brother to it) as a replacement. https://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/faqs.html#continue
