This story is a lie.
There’s no “computer icon”. Dragging the System disk to trash ejects it on a classic Mac. If you burrow down into System, you can try deleting system files… which are locked and can’t be deleted.
You can test this yourself on Infinite Mac
Safari’s fast, less crashy, highest privacy protections, and uses less memory per tab; I often have hundreds of tabs so that’s important. It also has the best inspector, much better than Firebug. Add in StopTheMadness and an adblocker (currently using Ghostery), and it’s pretty great.
Degoogled Chromium is useful for sites that don’t work in Safari, or as a sandbox I don’t mind crashing in development.
I’ve given up on Firefox, it’s too fat and bloated.
I’m very interested in the “floating giant 4K screens” part, especially paired with a tiny MacBook Air, and some other uses seem fun. Real uses of AR passthru can be amazing, tagging everything around you with information. At $3500, it’s half the price of a single XDR display.
But I’m waiting for gen 2 or later, there’s no way the current weight & battery life are usable for my needs. It’s a dev kit right now, and while I’m an iOS dev sometimes, it’s too small a market to be profitable for me.
I have a lot of lucid dreams, and they’re often in a specific city, and sometimes I even go to work in these dreams. I haven’t lived in a city and worked in an office in over 10 years, so it’s some kind of reverse escapism. I can always leave, and weird stuff happens anyway. I wouldn’t trust any of my work output there.
But to let a company try to take over your dreams and never let you escape, you need to stand up and fight that shit. Put them in a never-ending nightmare where nobody gives them money.
Back in the day, even in this century, printing out code in good text formatting on plain paper’s not a bad way to work with some problems; you can spread out many pages on a table instead of one screenful at a time, make planned edits in paper or pen, then do them. It doesn’t suit half-assed “coding” by hitting code completion and “next” in a wizard, but some of us still remember how to program.
But then marketing hears about this and this meme is the best they can come up with.
I suspect it’s like Nigerian scammers being blatant about how dumb their scam is, to weed out the smart targets. “simplilearn” is obviously not for people who read manuals, you know?
Joke’s on them, I’ve never been “well rested” in my life or my digital afterlife.
