R.L. Dane :Debian: :OpenBSD: 🍵 :MiraLovesYou:I was thinking of buying a new-to-me <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/thinkpad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Thinkpad</a> next month, but I think what I'll do instead is try to spruce up my <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pinebookpro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PinebookPro</a>:<ul><li>Get new rubber feet</li><li>Get a bigger SSD</li><li>Install <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/pmos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pmOS</a> and finally have <a href="https://polymaths.social/tags/fde" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FDE</a> on the thing</li><li>Put some proper locktite on the screws so it's not falling apart all the time</li></ul>I need to look up some videos on applying threadlocker to screws. It's much looser stuff than the typical locktite and it tends to make a mess.I'm debating just dribbling locktite (regular CA) on top of the screws as well to try to make them a little more permanent.

रञ्जित (Ranjit Mathew)The new <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iOS</a> release fixes a few <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bugs</a>, but adds several new ones, forcing me to upgrade yet again to avoid exposure to critical security vulnerabilities. 😩This <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UpgradeTreadmill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UpgradeTreadmill</a> is irritating & tiring.INB4: Rewriting in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Rust</a> will not avoid logic bugs & stop this cycle. 😒

रञ्जित (Ranjit Mathew)Why does <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Apple</a> tie updates to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Safari" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Safari</a> on the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iPhone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iPhone</a> with releases of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/iOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iOS</a>? 😠To overcome a nasty bug on iOS 17.2.1, I was forced to update to iOS 17.3.1, even though I wanted to wait a while for the new series to stabilize. 😰<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UpgradeTreadmill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UpgradeTreadmill</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Browser</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Coupling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Coupling</a>
