Apple moves on. Linux gives older hardware a second life.

This video shows a 2019 MacBook Pro being revived with Linux Mint via the T2 Linux project. Even on hardware that Apple makes awkward to escape from, most laptops became usable again. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, webcam, mic and even the Touch Bar worked. Touch ID did not, but the bigger story is simple: plenty of "old" devices are still useful if you are allowed to run software that respects your control.

Support ending should not automatically mean landfill.

How much tech becomes e-waste because companies stop making it convenient to keep using what you already own?

I think it is officially time for a new MacBook Pro. The old M1 Max has been a trusty companion, but I just need more oomph.

If you hear a loud noise or smell smoke, that’s just me running the credit card because base models are for chumps…

For me, I had an Apple II in high school that I banged papers out on (it was a massive improvement over a typewriter!). But the Macintosh SE/30 I had in college absolutely sealed the deal, and I’ve had some form of Mac as my personal computer ever since.
