RE: https://mastodon.social/@appleinsider/116178011048748370
People are losing their mind over the MacBook Neo having an iPhone chip and, dear reader, there's no such thing as an iPhone or a Mac chip these days.
It's all just Apple silicon.
The shells in Mario Kart are purple. I will die on that hill and I will not be taking any questions at this time.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.
Hi. I’m Oliver and I’m considering spending $30 a month on an email service.

😬
I'm buying a house, and those things aren't cheap. So I did a thing on LinkedIn. If you're in charge of a freelance budget, I'd appreciate it if you checked it out! And if you aren't, shares are always welcome.
👋🏻 I don't post to LinkedIn often, but I'm about to buy a house, so now seems as good a time as any to remind everyone that I'm here 👋🏻. I've been writing online since 2011 and took the plunge to go full-time in 2018. In the I'm-so-old-years since I started, I've built a reputation as the go-to person for tech coverage at some of the biggest names in the game. And I'd like to think that they know what they're doing, so maybe I'm doing something right. How would you like some of that experience and expertise to work for you? Whether you're a new client or a returning customer, I'm available for more work right now. Whether that's commerce, guides, some of the most opinionated op-eds in the industry, reviews, or straight news, I have some words for you. My niche, if you can call it that, has historically been the world of Apple technology and mobile. I'd love to get involved with some non-Apple tech work, but I'm also 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 keen to expand into gaming and sports — specifically football. The one with the round ball, not that other thing. I'll leave a few links below to whet the appetite. Shares, as always, are appreciated. And I'm not above begging for a kind word or two, should you have any to share. 👋🏻 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜𝘀 𝗨𝗦𝗕-𝗖, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗼 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝗻? — CNET: https://lnkd.in/e7-W5mir 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲'𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝗽𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗦𝗶𝗿𝗶-𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 — AppleInsider: https://lnkd.in/eEm4paZ6 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼 (𝗠𝟱) 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲-𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿: 𝗔 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 — AppleInsider: https://lnkd.in/eg6u7td5 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗨 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝘁 (𝗗𝗠𝗔) 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲? — Pocket-lint: https://lnkd.in/eNGizuA4 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬-𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗚𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗪𝗮𝗿'𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟭𝟯 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱𝘀 — GamesRadar+: https://lnkd.in/eW7rAE-u
Breaking my self-imposed Mastodon exile to ponder what Apple employees might think about their CEO waddling down to Trump’s gaff to watch a movie about his wife.
Unrelated: I’ve never been a big Signal user. But if I was, I’d probably have the username oliverhaslam.01. Probably.
That being said, if anyone needs me or has any freelance opportunities they think I’d be great for(all of them, obvs) I can be reached at the address in my profile.
I’ll be back, I’m sure. But the old approach isn’t working so it’s time to try something new.
🤞👋
Not to be *that* guy, but I’ve come to the realisation that I need to be less chronically online. It’s getting in the way of *everything* and I’m going to take a step back.
I realise that might be a problem given my line of work, but it’s time to bite the bullet and try.
Hold the phone. Am I the only one who didn't know (or likely forgot) that you can press opt+shift when pressing the volume keys on a Mac to switch to 1/4 increments?
Life. Changed.

Don’t do this. I tried and now my MacBook Pro is all soggy.

This is the best thing you’ll see on the internet today.
