Only one reply saying you should involve your wife in this decision. Not enough.
You need to involve your wife in this decision. Her use case is nothing for a modern laptop, either Windows or Mac. Anything new will run like a dream in comparison to what she’s got. Literally anything. Get her to a physical store to type on the keyboards and make sure she likes whatever models are in contention. This is highly personal and subjective so other opinions aren’t worth much.
I do think it worth mentioning that switching ecosystems isn’t something to do lightly. She needs to be involved in that decision. I’ve used both Windows and Mac. I’m comfortable with both, but generally prefer Windows. They are way too different to treat the possibility of switching flippantly.
$10M??
I’d take $10. Seriously. I mean I guess unless the meal was fully paid for and pretty fancy. But with either of these two donuts that feels like hardly a given.
$10 is a sure bet.
Valve is a private company. Microsoft can’t just buy Valve, Valve would have to agree to that. Considering Valve has (for a company their size) effectively unlimited resources already, and considering that Valve’s founder and leader is a known detractor of Microsoft, this is a nothing story. Microsoft will not buy Valve. This is baseless musing, like how I sometimes daydream with my wife about what we’d do if we won the lottery (which we don’t play).
Of course Microsoft would love to buy Valve. Just like they would love to buy Nintendo. I’d like to buy a Lamborghini. All these things are about equivalently likely, zero likely.
It’s astonishing that this game continues to receive support. Pretty impressive dedication from a one man developer.
Why smoking remains so prevalent. I’m sure it’s not a majority that smokes, but it is massively more common anywhere I’ve been in Europe than here in the US. I live in a fairly large city and I will go many days in a row without seeing a single person smoking.
I just don’t really get it. It’s gross, it smells, it ruins your teeth and your lungs, and it’s expensive. Why do it?
I just want to be clear that I’ve paid for Sync in various ways I think 3 or 4 times now and I’ll gladly pay for it again. Jerboa has been at least functional (10x better than when I first started using it a few months ago).
But it’s Sync I want.
I really love this web comic. I’m very unsure how it will translate to anything beyond its current scope, which is essentially translation of individual “moments” into literal language. The shtick doesn’t have a chance to get old when it’s never a situation longer than like 6 panels. But I’m curious enough to be mildly interested.
And by all means, good for Nathan Pyle for cashing in on this. That’s awesome.
