A windows notification box that reads "It's Nearly October". Inside it has a skull icon and says "Time to get spooky!"
There are two buttons - one says Yes, the other says Hell Yes

Northern Spain (even if BCN is not even that north...) tends to be very rainy along these dates, however, it's a day or two of rain, a day or two of sun blasting as if it was mid-July, and so on, until Oct where it will relax a bit.

Hope you enjoy Barcelona!

Oh well, just got an iPod Touch 4th Gen.

Up-to-date certs, GMaps working, a first batch of my music already imported.

We'll see how the "no doom-scroll when trying to do anything" test goes.

64gb version too!

There's been similar solutions in some South American countries, as an alternative/addition to buses.

Works well and adds coverage to public transport where a bus wouldn't make sense, without the cost of taxi/Uber.

Q&A from a talk I gave last week.

Q: "What do you think is the biggest threat in cybersecurity right now? Is it post-quantum computing? Is it AI?"

A: Fascism. It's fascism.

Been trying to replace industrial cigs with rolling them to save money.

I really don't know how you guys do it, feels like black magic.

IDK if the time difference compensates the cost LOL

First couple of times can be a bit confusing, they don't make it too obvious where to install the boot patcher (one would assume it installs automatically on the drive -- or at least I did).

But hey, it's better than patching by hand, that's for sure.

With OpenCore Legacy Patcher should be a breeze.

I sold to some friends a '14 5K 27" iMac that was patched with OCLP and it's still running like new.

Just try to not update to the latest OS until it's mature, patches take a while and your performance/experience might not be that good.

Is it suscription based, or is there a "Buy once, get it" payment?

Looks like a good alternative, but to add another suscription...

idk man like environmental and labor and theft issues aside i just don't want to talk to or use the autocomplete machine that encourages psychosis in any way. it is very creepy to me and maybe i've hit my "tech seems scary and weird" age but i'm basically fine with being resistant to this

OpenCore Legacy Patcher Experience macOS just like before

You can check out OpenCore Legacy Patcher!!

Have done that on a 2014 5K iMac and it works like a charm.

Backup everything.

On multiple places.

On multiple mediums. (Just don't use CD/DVD)

That gen is great, if it wasn't for that dreadful rear suspension.
Even the back end of the car with the faux spoiler and the same design for the rear lights.

Great design, not so great engineering

Not just you, I'm still on the search for a proper mail client for iOS. Even the Mac one has been getting worse for me.

iOS 18 for me has been such a disappointment, ever since 18.0 I've had random resprings aswell (and 17 is no longer signed, joy!)

It's incredible how much one can miss the smaller QoL updates newer macOS versions can bring.

I tried installing Big Sur 11.x for shits and giggles on my M1 MBA, and, of course everything somewhat works, but there are so many little things that I started missing, I had to update back to Sequoia.
