But just enough cash to only afford an iPhone.

Sent from my Z Fold 6.

$500? that won't even buy you a decent new graphics card, anybody claiming this is overpriced doesn't have a clue.

Even though in the past I always used aliases online, mostly now I use my real name and avoid posting stuff that's controversial, it's mostly dev and security stuff anyway.

It's things like this that make me glad I'm an anti social arsehole.

In the future are people going to look at me strangely because I can't be identified by their AI eye implants? will I be excluded from businesses? public transport?

The T2 security chip, for example, makes it more difficult for customers to install alternative, more lightweight Linux operating systems that can make old Macs run more nimbly than macOS

As a Mac and Linux user this is my concern, my old Macs have always been repurposed as Linux computers once Apple drop support for them, extending their lifepsan but it's getting harder now especially with Apple silicon. Asahi is an option but it's also easy for Apple to block if they wanted to in the future.

How do you sort the good from the bad? I'm sure most of my conversations were shit posts aswell but some weren't, especially when it figuring out how something new worked or how to fix a problem.

ZFS snapshots, db backups get uploaded to dropbox, while it wouldn't be good to loose everything, it wouldn't be the end of the world either.
