A couple of new pairs for the Summer.

Vinnrox250 · 06-16-2023, 02:24 PM

And today on home improvement we had the pool deck coated in KoolCote. Keeps it cooler, and all the flatwork matches now.

Chinese Carburetor for my Craftsman tractor.

Bent a couple of push rod 10 years ago and decided to get it running again.

That thing would not last 2 days with my CKC!

Well this was the fastest I became dissatisfied with a laptop (arrived yesterday). Somehow, the 16" screen is only slightly larger than the 14" screen on my existing laptop, plus problems with screen going blank during setup that I don't care to invest time in resolving. Also I knew it would be heavier than my current laptop, but it is ridiculously heavy and loud fan runs perpetually. Dropped off return at UPS Store this morning.

Haven't been a fan of Lenovos since IBM sold them off.

M_Six · 06-22-2023, 10:58 AM

More home automation stuff from Eve. I have several of these. They work well for turning dehumidifiers and lights on and off.

What's your preference for a Windows laptop? I have had bad experiences with Dell.

M_Six · 06-22-2023, 01:37 PM

We just got a new Dell laptop for Wifey. Her father gave it to us. I'm not super impressed with that one either. The fan was running full bore while I was setting it up, although it got quieter after the initial setup.

I'm a Mac guy, myself. My 2012 MacBook Pro still runs like new and my new MacBook with the M1 chip is superb and is absolutely silent. In my experience, Macs usually outlast their OS upgrades. IOW, the thing that takes them out of action is when they can no longer run the latest MacOS update. My 2012 MBP runs the older OS fine, but soon MS Office and the latest web browsers will not run on that OS. Wifey still has a 2012 MacBook Air that was running Windows 7 in bootcamp. Again, the OS going obsolete is what killed it.

Macs are often pricier than Windows machines, but they last a hell of a lot longer. If you don't have to have Windows, think about a MacBook.

TXSTYLE · 06-22-2023, 02:15 PM

New sports coat for the collection. But unique in that's it's all leather.

My week-old 2023 Macbook Air 15" with the Apple M2 chipset has been surprisingly amazing so far, and as quiet as an iPhone or iPad since it has no mechanical disks or even cooling fans. It is uber-snappy doing things like web browsing or email, but does have a barely-noticeable delay when launching Intel processor apps I assume due to the extra overhead of needing to load the Rosetta emulator. The only nuisance was that a few of my obscure apps were "corrupted" after restoring from a Time Machine backup of my broken Intel i9 Macbook Pro, so I had to re-download/install them.

Apologies to Intel, but I am quite liking the Apple M2 chipset so far...

Esteban · 06-22-2023, 02:26 PM

^ Good to hear about the new Macs. My 2014 MacBook Pro is still running strong but when it goes I’ll be happy to get a new one with the superior Apple chips.

vreihen16 · 06-22-2023, 02:26 PM

I should also add that I've been using the new M2 in my work office for 7 hours straight, and the battery is still at 51%.....
