@steter Makes sense. You utilize Apple products as an affordable music production solution. It is true that free tools such as Reaper do not provide the useful material, so an all-in-one environment may be necessary, even though you have to pay for it.

I now have three MacBooks. But none of them have macOS installed except for the M1Max 16" MacBookPro.

That's right. For me, the biggest advantage of macOS is the ability to use Touch ID on macs and iPhones. And with their presence, Apple iCloud Advanced Protection will finally have value.

Where is the value of Apple products to you, fedi?

This means that the ThinkPad brand has been destroyed.Lenovo laptops get an F rating for repairabilitywww.pcworld.com/article/2616095/lenovo-laptops-get-an-f-rating-for-repairability.html

This morning I almost missed the train to the destination because I slept too many times.
I've been suffering from a serious case of depression lately.

Growth is essential. In a society that does not prioritize growth, individuals must compete for a limited share of resources. In this perspective, people tend to concentrate solely on the existing disparities in wealth, as there are no prospects for future growth.

Is anyone in fedi planning to buy an iPhoneSE4?

In neoliberal countries, anything may be possible with money. However, once under the occupation of fascists and oligarchs, there is a danger that nothing is possible without money.

Dear fedi. Let us not give up our happiness and live through 2025!

The development of LLMs will soon reach the limit of their performance.
Since the accuracy is low for occupying too many computational resources, I believe that the development of SLMs with special standardization and normalization added to the data set by experts in various fields will be in the limelight in the future.

@FlashMobOfOne It's as if they are like the stubborn people I'm used to being around who have a personality that can't be convinced that everything they do has to have a reason.

People in North America and Europe are having a hard time dealing with the Right, a vast religious force in the making. If I were in their shoes, I would still lean toward atheism.

Even those who grew up in the most privileged, billionaire class in the most privileged country in the world, if they consider themselves unhappy, they will attempt suicide, etc.
And that is undoubtedly not a very meaningful activity.
When I thought about it, I still felt that I should be happy.

Japan's declining birthrate and aging society will close roads and other areas in rural mountainous regions to traffic.
Without a budget to maintain roads, people cannot live around them.

The fedi crowd is probably tired of hearing this by now, but VPNs are not secure at all.
Just by using a VPN IP address, you could be misidentified as a cyber criminal.

@madeindex One of my co-workers is a pachinko addict who has created a debt to keep playing. I asked him, "Do you owe anyone money?" “Have you ever borrowed money to play pachinko?" When I asked him via line messenger, he was furious and stopped responding, saying, "Don't meddle anymore about my debts.”

Good evening fedi's.
My colleague who created the debt hated me because I persistently questioned him about the debt.
But I don't have a choice. I can't be too friendly with the people who created the debt.

There are fewer homeless people in Japan than in other countries.
This is because people like the yakuza kidnap homeless people and lock them up in small rooms together, apply for disability pensions and public assistance on their behalf, and then exploit some of the money.

Hello, everyone at fedi.
Well, well. The US presidential election is looking grim so far.
