  • You sure about that? I got my work to buy me a new one very recently because I need a new one for testing stuff (my main machine runs Windows). I choose the cheapest one available, because I don’t need a Pro model or anything. I also prefer a light computer since I often carry around both the Mac and my Windows machine in my backpack.

    The cheapest M2 or M3 MacBook Air I could find had 16 GB RAM and 256 GB of storage. It’s only 999 USD which is quite cheap compared to my Windows laptop. Not cheap but not bad compared to normal business laptops.

    Where do you get your numbers from?

    P.S. it’s really fucking stupid that the MacBook Air can’t do more than one external display. Even the more barebone laptop available the decade should handle at least two displays. Hell even the Pi 4 can do 2 4K displays (at 30 FPS iirc but still)



  • Why would the government know your voting history? Isn’t voting anonymous where you live?

    No idea what a tax id is but in Sweden everyone’s home address, income, phone number, “personnummer” (a unique ID assigned to every citizen), and some other stuff. And for the most part it works pretty well. I’m usually concerned about privacy but I don’t mind this because it applies to everyone equally (except a few people with protected identity for safety reasons) and it’s just so open and convenient.

    I’m not saying that all government documents should be public information but here most documents are.





  • Have you used teams for sending code recently?

    I tested it last week and it worked pretty well and even featured syntax highlighting. From the very limited one time test I actually prefer the way teams handle code since it doesn’t force you to use some kind of snippet.

    Teams is also supposed to get better formatting and chats fairly soon. I will continue to use slack because I prefer it but it’s nice that teams is at least getting better.
