Worked as a computer tech in college
We had regular clients that would bring in their ten year old laptops to get “tuned up,” which normally consisted of removing whatever interesting malware they’d manage to download
One guy would bring his computer and his lockscreen slideshow and desktop would be a rotation of naked women surfing. I never looked through people’s stuff because ick, but after bringing it in multiple times you’d have seen hundreds of them
Another woman had an ancient laptop that’d probably shipped with Windows Vista that was 1 core 1 thread. It was desperately trying to run Windows 10 but was drowning constantly. You could watch the startup processes in task manager in series which was pretty cool
Had a woman deliberately hand me her phone open to her photos with like dozens of nudes while she just talked to me normally about whatever banal up issue she was having with her iPhone. Thinking about it I don’t think this was an isolated event
Stuff on the devices is typically less weird than the people
The transcode performance on the apple silicon is pretty solid if you wanted to go the media server route. Or have a really expensive NAS host lol
I have a macbook for work and I like it generally, it integrates well with other *nix environments. But if you don’t use a laptop or don’t want to have the uncomfortable interruption to your hotkey muscle memory it’s a bit useless. I’d either sell it and/or find someone in my network that needs it
