Fond memories. I remember going to the local YMCA (sub-2000) and going from DOS terminal to DOS terminal typing in (IIRC) `exec wolf3d.exe` and finding one of the few PC's that had it loaded to play it.
I've been using Proton Mail and iOS (through iCloud+) for this. Almost every purchase online goes through a proxy, and once the item is delivered, the email deleted.
This has a side benefit of being able to sign up to the popup modals for like, 10-20% off a first purchase.
Some sites do not parse the emails correctly though (if they contain periods, etc) and it's also hard to order track.
I find it's worth the trouble to have a relatively quiet inbox.
Growing up, I vividly remember user accounts being important for our families personas on Windows XP. There's definitely a place for them, but there should be an option to not use one.
Unless your specifically calling out accounts that require online registration for the OS. I'm vehemently against that requirement.
FWIW we use the minis all over our place and love'em. But we pretty much only ask basic questions or use them for airplay. Sounds quality is impressive imo.
I did! I ended up buying a kit off ifixit IIRC. It was super cheap and works great! If I did it again, I would splurge for the Apple verified battery as a third party one doesn't work with the new Battery app features.
You can obviously bypass them, but having precommit hooks to run scripts locally, to make sure certain checks pass, can save them from failing in your pipeline, which can save time and money.
From an org standpoint you can have them (mandate?) as part of the developer experience.
(Our team doesn't use them, but I can see the potential value)
There's an AppleTV app for it, which makes it trivial to connect a BT controller and finally finishing that Donkey Kong Country that's been holding you back,
Built a scheduler with pretty much all my moment/moment-tz questions answered through ChatGPT. One of the things it excels at, crawling long lived API documentation, answers, etc.
