Yesterday Charlene pulled out her gotta

2023-01-07 01:40:02.633873+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Yesterday Charlene pulled out her gotta be decade old Linux laptop to copy her phone data off. I asked why not her newer MacBook Air, and she said it felt kinda clunky and like everything on it was trying to upsell her.

When a non-technical user like her chooses the older Linux box first for her general computing, well... I guess my relationship instincts are correct.

(And, yes, I also didn't want to deal with the bullshit that is getting a Mac talking to an Android phone...)
