I’ve got a M2 MBA and I love it. I can /live/ with Tahoe, would rather have Sequoia or something a little older (but keep the Password app!) I certainly /don’t need/ a touchscreen Mac laptop, which is what Liquid Glass seems to be designed for.
Having said that, I probably would’ve switched to some version of Linux many years ago if it wasn’t for the lack of business accounting software that was easy to set up. GNUcash isn’t it for me. Switching would’ve saved me a lot of money on subscriptions.
I could probably use Obsidian instead of NotePlan with a bit of work; I would just use it on mobile a bit less.
Remember "always coming home"? the book by Ursula Le Guin, describing a far future matriarchal Native American society near the flooded Bay Area.
There was a computer network called TOK that the communities of earth used to communicate with each other. It was run by the computers themselves and the men were the human link with the rest of the community. The computers were even sending out space probes.
The stamped metal framing connector facilitated the use of trusses, which means an open plan house (McMansion) of much larger footprint. Trusses mean no attic.
At least where I am, I would attribute it to code requirements. A livable attic requires much more work to meet code than a vented attic space. Not to mention the energy cost of having a livable attic can be higher because there is no venting and limited insulation. All of this is speculation of course. You definitely could do it. But, if you did you'd almost certainly have to use more expensive construction techniques to meet code insulation requirements.
I think a lot of people in this thread are too young to understand what is meant by attic. Go upstairs in a house built in 1920, that’s an attic. A tiny cubby in a cavity left by engineered trusses is not. You’ll also notice the modern house, even a cheap one, is far better insulated.
I realize now perhaps they meant livable attic. That wasn't obvious to me. Crawling through non livable attics framed with trusses is part of my work sometimes.
Try to find parts for an ASUS or an MSI gaming laptop; the real killer is you have to search using both model numbers to be accurate. Multiple graphics card configurations per model makes it even harder. Sometimes, AliExpress is the only way and the motherboard still costs $525+.
... or make a OneDrive-connected folder have an icon that shows, clearly, that it's been taken over by OneDrive.
I'd give a setup option to provide a non-OneDrive Documents folder, that feature would be turned on automatically if OneDrive senses that there is a database residing in the Documents folder (ACT!, I'm looking at you!)
just looking at the video makes me hungry.
