M4 Pro.

It's likely because of the KVM i use for switching between desktop and laptop, on top of Apple's idiosyncrasies. I did go back and check, and this was noted as part of the "apple vs windows" diffs.

My other OSs have not had an issue though, so it remains a disappointing surprise.

What the hell do you mean a Macbook Pro doesn't support a 16 year old displayport standard for chaining multiple displays!?

My Chromebook could flippin do it.

I will admit, that chrome does feel much snappier on this thing.

End of an era: I switched to a MacBook Pro at work, away from my long standing Chromebook.

The saddest part remains all the nice stickers that I'm also parting with.

Less than 24 hours until the @gophercon.com call for speakers closes. I started editing my proposal, then remembered the German word "verschlimmbessern" (to improve something for the worse). Turns out it was already where it needed to be. Threw out the edits ๐Ÿ‘‹๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ

There's a whole self organized shadow cruise (modulo interfacing with The Home Office for venue scheduling purposes)!

It really is a nerd convention, but also with sun, pools, waves, and adult beverages (if one likes).

We make our own fun :D

I mean I've been going for years, but also can't help but participate as a volunteer, lately by taking pictures for it.

Mhm! It's basically how I'd want to arrange my bags. The main trick is the 10L has the laptop+ power stuff in transit which is the heavy stuff. Not a great distribution for long term... But doesn't have to be?

Not too hard to move the laptop back and forth though.

Wait you can just do that instead of talking about it for decades?

Honestly this is just good advice for any degree of time change. Gets you onto the right headspace tight when you sit down.

I had a delightful weekend, got upgraded both directions, and am now on my flight back home, and got to have the whole group use the lounge before our flight got delayed. We made good use of it.

Tomorrow's going to be... An experience.

Bold to assume that:

just learned this photo exists and why in the FUCK wasn't Gillian Anderson ever cast as Morticia? What's wrong with Hollywood?

That would do it! I don't have huge demands on my shell. Hopefully you don't have something that's recursively appending to your path or something.

I mean, WSL 2 is pretty great if all you want is a command line and a dev environment.

I'm bougie enough to do premium class for the leg room, but when i then get upgraded to business class, I'm not above a complimentary pre flight mimosa.

Big things at tonight's pub group discussion.

Discussed and researched and queried about the correct pronunciation of Tsawwassen. (In regards to the ferry).

Technically not exactly that, since they're advertising a new thing. I had to manually point to a port on my gaming PC which was running LM Studio and this sounds like it leverages the new cool service stuff.

I did this the other day so I could get Photoprism to label all my photos faster with a clever and detailed local model.

Just worked!

As long as I understood how much context i needed to allocate to it.
