probably nobody will care, but I’m sad at the passing of my microwave. It was born in July of 1983, and died march 24th, 2026. I had bought it used in 1992 and it faithfully served me and my family for many years until today, when the keypad decided to partially quit working. Rest in peace Zappy, you will be missed.
I’m looking for a new keypad but unsurprisingly the parts for this ancient thing are no longer in stock so I doubt I’ll be able to resurrect it without some sort of miracle. I know it’s just an appliance but it still makes me sad to see it go.
Ironically enough, I write smartphone apps on my vacations. Maybe you can do that shit practically on smartphones now, but I’ve never seen it.
Oh, well that’s actual work. If I wanted to do actual work on a vacation, I’d be upset if my laptop died as well, and I wouldn’t take the risky one. I also do smartphone apps!
It’s funny, I do iOS and my old macbook has a swollen battery but is still going OK. I’m stuck on an ancient version of Xcode and I’ve actually already bought a replacement macbook, but I’m too lazy to set it up.
Be careful with that swollen battery. It means the battery is degrading and can possibly catch fire. https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/help-my-laptop-battery-is-swollen-now-what
You right.
I’ve had a number of batteries that have swollen myself before, none have burst into flames on me(yet), but it’s always a possibility.
Its warning me if I dont upgrade xcode in the next month or something I wont be able to publish. You might get your hand forced soon?
Lol publish!
