Even though the Apple store where I bought the same configured MacBook as the heavily discounted one in the link below in January, where they discounted mine by only €250,-, the idear of someone else lucking out and getting $600,- off, really hurts. Of course, it doesn't matter at this point. I'm really digging my …
Welcome To NAS Hell
Update to this post here. Pseudo alternative subtitle: Years of digital living is hard to leave behind. But behind it must be left. As mentioned here, I've been telling myself for years, and thereby avoiding a certain kind of reality, that I need a NAS (networked-attached-storage). Although I was able to circumvent having to own …
Never Quite Knowing Exactly What You’re Doing–The #Americant Way
Disclaimer: some poignant and verbose language is in this post. Good luck. Yeah, dear worst-reader. We're here once again. It's time to get it on about my beloved & missed #Americant, the Land Of Free To Be Stupid, where dysfunction wallows in a toilet bowl that some think is a swamp and will never, ever, …

How Compulsives Run The Show
We live in a world of Trump-Uglies and the disgust his ilk pro-creates. We live in a world of teeth-less, comb-over dog-fights that are clawless due to cosmetics and ill-fitted matrimony. And even better... We live in a world that is not lead by the merit of one's or the collective's actions. No. Indeed. We …
Let’s Call It Red-Brass, Shall We?
Dabbling away, dear worst-reader. Dabbling away with the fancy of my new MacBook aka exuberant über glorified typewriter. Not quite two weeks in my consume-to-survive possession, the only issue I'm having with it so-far is the colour. Seriously. I love the keyboard. Don't mind the single USB-C port (as I've got plenty of dongles already …
Pseudo Unboxing & Review Of 2017 12″ MacBook
Title 2: Or How I Got My (Almost) Pink On What is it you do, dear worst-reader? In other worst-words, what do you do between the hell-day that is modern western consumerism run-amok aka Xmas combined with the ending of yet another krappy (worst) year in a universe lead by the greatest land of free …

Apple’s Macs quite literally a dirty secret and there need be more lawsuits (I guess)
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 …
