I suck at writing bios. I'm a husband and dad. Introvert trying to branch out... at least online.

I should add that I’m on an “older” 2019 Intel i9 MacBook Pro, 32GB RAM, running Monterey 12.6.2. These issues have been present for some time, so I don’t think it’s strictly an OS issue.

Does anyone else using #GoogleDrive installed on #MacOS experience very poor performance?

For example, if I open a not-particularly-large or complex Excel file saved in Drive, Excel is brought to it’s knees. Unresponsive, slow, and nearly unusable. However, same file opened from local storage has no issues (so it’s Excel itself isn’t the problem).

Another issue I have is with file syncing speeds. Files I save to Drive don’t appear in the web-Drive for an unusually long period of time (or vice versa when waiting for files coworkers have created).

And before anyone offers up alternatives to Drive, unfortunately my work has stuck on Drive and won’t budge. If it were up to me we’d be on Dropbox (where we were preciously with no issues).

Meanwhile, my pal @jsnell has an in-depth look at the new M2 MacBook Pros, which provide a nice incremental update over the previous generation M1 Pro/Max models. https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/01/2023-macbook-pro-review-more-of-the-same-in-a-good-way/
2023 MacBook Pro Review: More of the same, in a good way

Here’s what the new M2 MacBook Pro is not: new. Yes, it’s powered by a new generation of Apple silicon, but it’s very much the same laptop that was updated for the Apple silicon e…

People keep asking me if I've bought an M2 Pro Mac mini yet and the answer is no...because I've been too busy putting it through its paces! Here's my full review of Apple's new mid-range desktop over at @sixcolors. (Spoiler: It's pretty darn fast.) https://sixcolors.com/post/2023/01/m2-mac-mini-review-whatever-you-want-it-to-be/
M2 Mac mini Review: Whatever you want it to be

In 2005, when Apple first introduced the Mac mini, it was a carefully designed, strategic product: a low-cost computer aimed primarily at luring customers from the Windows PC hegemony with the prom…

Doesn’t anyone else using #Ivory have issues with the app icon not actually updating? Can’t tell if it’s a bug or something weird with my device.

People who have played Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, did you use a controller or keyboard & mouse? I want KB/mouse for aiming, but it feels wrong to control a 3rd person game that way.

Man, it is so awesome to see all these other Spider Men and baddies show up in this movie! The Multiverse is so nuts. Having just recently played Spider Man (2018) again makes it even better cuz there's a lot of baddie crossovers between the two.

Whyyy does Apple have to temp me with these new MacBooks?! I know I don’t need one, but damned if I don’t want one.
