  • Sorry, OP, it’s past midnight where I am and I am not compelled to read your writing just yet. In the morning with coffee would be a better time.

    Having said that, despite not really following the reviews, if I’m looking for

    1. A new device
    2. At that price point
    3. And the choice is either windows or Mac

    I’m choosing the neo. It even gets a 10 out of 10 repairability rating by ifixit. As a 30s that have used windows all my life learning macOS is as much effort as learning Linux to shed that windows power user habits

    Thankfully I’m only limited by budget and have no desire to let fine refurbished laptops languish. And I’m all onboard with Linux so I’ll be getting a refurb thinkpad instead. This also helps local repair shops stay afloat and stop from ewaste pile up

    Just have to survive the shit circus Trump gave the world.




  • My depression. And I’m mid 30s now and my parents are in the 60s. I do not look forward to what will inevitably happen…

    Fortunately I got professional help and haven’t been majorly depressed in years. I didn’t do hard drugs or fell into alcoholism back then. On a different timeline with different group of acquaintances I can see myself dead OD. Or jumping. Or bled out. Instead a lot of money and debt accrued coping with material junk and parasocialism. I can’t deny the parasocialism is really the anchor that kept me long enough to get therapy and medication. Now I understand the dangers of it but still.

    I am eternally grateful that my government has some semblance of functionality to at least have subsidized healthcare for mental healthcare (and a lot of other health issues).

    Of course I’m not fully out of the woods. Nobody with depression truly does I think. It’s always there, bubbling. Now I’m always alert to how my friends, family are of signs of depression. But what worked for me doesn’t always will work for others, so on that aspect I struggle. But at the very least I will lend my attention and shoulders.
