i just got a new macbook for the first time in 12 years and i feel like a whole person again!!!! i've been struggling with a busted pc and an ipad for years this is so life changing
My bank account audibly screamed when I swiped my card but it's been such a relief. The last computer I bought was a 2016 MacBook Pro that's been required to be plugged in at all times to do anything more taxing than editing a photo, which is frustrating for a video editor to put it lightly.
Now that I have a tool I can rely on, I have so much more peace of mind.
I write less than I would like because I avoid my laptop like the plague due to its associations with my freelance work… my 9:00 to 5:00 company laptop is my friend but my personal laptop is my sworn enemy.
I was talking about this with a friend who had a similar issue because she was using her personal laptop for her high stress job, and at one point she was looking into getting some kind of low-tech e-ink writing device. I was considering it too until I realized I could just buy a Bluetooth keyboard for my phone (I’m a simple woman and I don’t need an iPad; this little screen is good enough for me)!
Instant lightweight portable writing setup! The one I bought was on sale for like $10 and has a rechargeable lithium ion battery… I put it on the nonslip side of a mouse pad to keep it from sliding around when I type and it’s working great. I’m kind of obsessed… expect me to be even less capable of shutting up than I was before.
this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing
