I’ll admit the hardware on iPhones is excellent but waaayy overkill for iOS.

Let me install my own third party apps w/o the App store (I know altstore exists, but needing to renew apps every few days is super janky). If I spend my money on a device, I should be allowed to put whatever I want on it, however I want. Let me, the consumer accept the risks of doing so.

Let me use HDMI out over USB-C to an external monitor and have a full desktop with ability to run desktop class apps. Let me use the full potential of the chipsets to get actual work done and effectively replace a computer.

Till then, Android it is for me because I can do both these things easily. I know my use cases are more niche, but “Pro” naming on consumer Apple products is just fluff.

Not great but not terrible.

Community Rec center membership. For a one time fee of $10; it’s easily the best $10 I’ve ever spent and is a great city perk. I’ve gotten in great shape since going there.

I use Vim everyday! I’m so glad I took the time to learn it as it has increased my productivity significantly and now I can’t imagine not using it. Thanks Bram, for your amazing work over the years. RIP

As a young teen, I microwaved Kraft singles in an air tight magic bullet container trying to make nacho cheese (I was inspired by the infomercial). Lid got stuck, so I had to use a lot of force to get it loose. Molten cheese exploded all over the kitchen and on my left arm. I had second degree burns and a scar for a few years.

Less tactile controls made me choose a 2014 over 2015 Honda Accord when I bought my car a few years back, and I’m very happy with it! Can’t imagine having most everything controlled with a touch screen. The only tech I need is Bluetooth and a backup camera. Screw software subscriptions and OTA updates to potentially alter the car I own outright.
