And to think all those years where I literally tore my Macs apart to de-dust them... I knew there was something up. And now... I have to be honest. I don't quite know what they mean by "flogging" in this post. Oh well. Rant on. -T The lawsuit claims that Apple is flogging computers and …
A German, A Jew, And Tim Cook Walk Into A Bar
... The German, with a heavy accent, asks Tim in broken English, "wahn kahn ik pey myna bahr drink mit apple pey in Deutschland?" The Jew, who is also the bartender getting ready to start his shift, turns to Tim, greets him by showing him the red dot on his new Apple Watch, and says, …

Getting Some Tech On
Subtitle: How To Get Some Tech Freedom With SBC As previously mentioned here, I've been dabbling of-late in the world of SBC (Single Board Computing). Reason? I'm on a long and curvy path to weaning myself from/of Apple and its hellacious eco-system. In fact, I'm currently fiddling around with the idear of getting off the …
From New To Old Or Skipping What’s In-Between
Subtitle 1: E-Book reading. Looks like there's no turning back (for worst-moi). Subtitle 2: A pseudo-review of e-readers. I first started e-reading on a Kindle 2. I loved the design of the Kindle 2, especially the analog page change buttons and the odd but fully functional keyboard that enabled the best note-taking (at the time) …

Apple v Pi Or How I Slowly Got My Computing Future On
I tried to become a watch-nut once. Not a real watch-nut, mind you. Of course not. A real watch-nut spends lots of money on watches. Heck, I don't even like money. Anywho. A watch-nut knows what a complication is. In fact, that's the only thing that made watches interesting to me. The simpler the complications, …

The Wrong Of Success In The Land Of Free To Be Stupid Because Rest Of World Is Even Stupider
Here's the latest greed-mongering-magazine's list of top corporations in the world ranked by whatever-$$$ (I guess). I came across this list because, as an Apple pseudo-fan-boy, my favourite company-to-hate was recently downgraded. How can that be--especially after I just took advantage of a battery replacement program for my ageing phone that was probably the best …
Kudos To The Best Of The Worst
One of the world's most greedy corporate CEOs (I mean, come on worst-reader, it is all about greed and not achievement or merit or the like, right?) has found a moment to put a few degrees between what he represents (über-greed) and what the worst of the worst represents (stupid-greed). Pretty much from day one …
Apple’s Spinning Wheel Of You Suck
https://youtu.be/LFlTx3UyWWo Don't you hate it when that happens? This particular wheel lasted for well over ten minutes--until I forced a restart on my MacBook Air 7,2. This is but another reminder of how much I'm gonna enjoy making this my last Apple hardware purchase (I spitefully hope). As far as MacOS goes, Apple has really …
Wait. Remember When…
In an attempt to figure out Apple's really, really krappy cloud service, iCloud, I finally hooked up with icloud.com today. Seriously. I've never been to this part of the Apple universe before. I guess I always preferred to do all my stuff mostly through a Mac and every once-a-once my phone. I had two reactions …
Bad Apple, Bad Apple. Now Go In The Corner For Your Time-Out.
Oh my, dear worst-reader. Since confiscating my better-half's 2016 12" MacBook--and she going full iOS as of late 2017--I've been enjoying this little über-fantastic device which has even made me forget my beloved 2015 13" MacBook Air with that friggin i7 processor and that fan that randomly interupts everything all day long--and wants to burn hole …

Not Only In #Trumpland Does Disinformation Serve The Agenda. Would You Believe Corporations Use Smoke Screens Too? Duh!
Worst-writer has been wielding an iPhone 6s for well over two years now. It's my second "smartphone". Worst-writer has never been a fan of Apple's iOS. In fact, most computer operating systems suck. On top of that, the whole smartphone thing bores me. Reason? These things can do so much more. Here's my worst-dream for …
Typing On The New MacBook, The Joy Of Butterfly
I can't feel a thing. Well, actually I feel a small click. Yes. It's a click where there should be movement. And I'm not talking about the trackpad? Yet, so similar are these new input and control gadgets on Apple's new MacBook. Comparatively, there is much more movement of the keys and the trackpad of …

Pseudo Review: Followup Of Newly Confiscated 2016 12″ MacBook
The first pseudo-review is here. A third is here. How did I get here, dear worst-reader? How did I get to be the confiscating husband I've become? And how did I get to this place I'm at where being overwhelmed w/ tech gadgets could be so frustrating? You know, dear worst-reader, as a useless-eater, as …

How The #neweconomy Became The #oldeconomy And #Apple #Sucks
Who loves being forced to buy new technology? I mean, that's really what's happening these days, or? If hardware manufactures somehow acted responsibly, there would then be no reason that the investment consume-to-survivors make couldn't last longer. Or are the engineers that make everything smaller and thinner really not that good after-all? Oh wait. We're …

Pseudo Review: RasPlex + Hifiberry And Some Serious Audio On The Cheap
Kinda follow-up, update to this post here. More pseudo-review of audio equipment here. Can a non-audiophile still hear great audio? Can a music-lover of old music still get some jams through his/her head in these digital times without breaking the bank? Do those guys that spend all that money as "audiophiles" give you the …
