  • I have the following at home:

    • My work laptop (2021 MacBook Pro)

    • My personal laptop (2018 MacBook Pro)

    • An old iPad Air

    • My phone

    • Living room PC (Linux, shared)

    • Bedroom PC (Linux, shared)

    My laptops live on my desk and I mostly have whichever one I’m using plugged into my external monitor and peripherals (mouse and mechanical keyboard). The portability of my personal and work machines is nice if I want to sit on the couch or travel.

    The living room PC is hooked up to the TV. My partner and I mostly use it for gaming and YouTube. It’s a few years old but it can handle most of what we throw at it.

    We only use the bedroom PC to watch TV in bed.

    The iPad is for knitting patterns. Previously, it spent several years sitting unused in a drawer.

    My phone is for doomscrolling and spam calls.

    I smoked for almost 20 years. I lost track of how many times I tried - and failed - to quit. Last December I just felt done. Put it down and haven’t gone back to it. I even had a few cigarettes while out with a friend in March and had no desire to go back to it after. I know a few other people who quit like that, but far more who have struggled with it for years and still smoke.

    I have no idea what changed for me. Every other attempt failed, even if I felt really ready to quit.



  • I cancelled my Netflix account. I keep Disney Plus around for my stepkid, and Prime Video because it comes with Prime, although I’ll probably cancel that soon too. I’m keeping Funimation.

    Streaming is becoming worse than cable. At least if I got cable (which I won’t) I could PVR shit and skip the ads. The idea of paying a monthly fee to get advertised at anyway is nauseating.
