Am I suffering from a false memory or....
Apple has really been making me mad recently, because I noticed it’s not possible to order their highest-end RAM configurations without having their highest-end processors.
My current MacBook Pro is from 2021, and I’ve been thinking about upgrading, and I also noticed that it ...

Go to a restaurant supply store. The equipment you get there will be so many steps above anything you’d get from the typical places. You’ll wonder why you haven’t done it before.

I remember beta testing the original, and how much I disliked so many aspects of it. It’s gone through a lot since then, some good changes, and some bad ones.
I think the changes tended to be more positive while Steve Jobs was still alive.

I wish that it was easier to have a Linux distro that had menus along the top edge of the screen.
And I don’t mean this "faking it" stuff by having certain apps with menus there and certain ones with menus in the windows themselves.
I want consistency in at least the basic UI concepts.

Apple ALWAYS screws over their low-end customers. Especially on new products.
Their goal is NOT for it to be usable. Their goal is that you buy it, spend a while with it, realize it’s too slow, and then buy another better one.

In Albuquerque, if you go down to Yale, pretty close to UNM, there’s this little place called “La Urraca”. They have Colombian food. The chipotle chicken arepa plate is really good. I recommend it if you haven’t been there.

I’m not saying a huge heated area, just a little walkway. Ice melts just above 32ºF, so it wouldn’t have to be generating a huge amount of heat in most places. Most places don’t get quite the same amount of snow as Minnesota.

They make heated walkway mats that can prevent snow from accumulating on the walkway.
