Induction? Cast iron. That is all. The glass cooktops are very sturdy unless intentionally damaged. If they were fragile my wife would’ve busted ours long ago.

We have a few stainless pots that work (check with a magnet). Not sure if the stainless ones are true bifl (the cast iron certainly is) but they’ve been going strong for about 10 years long with regular cooking and cleaning in the dishwasher (no not the cast iron).

Interesting but manufactured in the US has significant negative appeal for me right now due to the whole government situation. Maybe when maga is flushed away.

Don’t think I’ve ever been disappointed buying an Apple product. They always just get it right.

According to Apple’s security support documentation, macOS Tahoe 26.6.1 addresses a vulnerability that could have allowed an attacker to authenticate to Screen Sharing without valid credentials. Apple resolved the issue by improving state management.

Don’t care at all about Harry Potter controversies, but Tim’s is a garbage franchise that’s my absolute last choice for a meal when nothing else is available. McDonald’s is a significant step up from them.

Cost of its soul? What do you mean? Apple has always been about profit from the moment Steve and Woz created it (more Steve, but that’s why they’re still around).

Happily anticipating the AI crash.

Absolutely, all brands have their cheap lines. I mean they're fine but they're not quality. I have a reasonable Henkels knife which I use for everyday kitchen tasks but I also have my Japanese chefs knife which is razor sharp and is only used (by myself only) for fine cutting.

I largely agree and tried to slim down my wallet and it was a big improvement having just a small MagSafe one.

1. Drivers license (required to have physical license here, a fine if you don’t have it while driving)
2. main credit card
3. transit card

I also have an EDC bag that has

• backup credit card
• a few small bills
• my car’s keycard
• flashlight
• pocketknife
• pencil & pen
• sharpie
• shopping cart releaser (for pay carts)
• earplugs
• toothpick
• i should put a lockpick or two in but I keep them in my car

In hindsight I could probably ditch my wallet altogether and just go with the EDC, it fits comfortably in my front pocket even with all that stuff.

$379…. Not obscene but not for me.

Yup. It’s totally good for that. I’m used to editing on high end Avid systems (yes feature films), and while I wouldn’t want to do that on a Neo, cutting home movies or stuff for school would be cake.

I was playing with editing video on it. Surprisingly capable as long as you aren’t going crazy with tons of effects and such.
