Not okay in any way with today's photo. C++Builder, Delphi folks, join the FB communities: C++Builder: facebook.com/groups/CBuilde…: Delphi: facebook.com/groups/1370122… For me personally: 🐘 @vintagedave" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">social.vivaldi.net/@vintagedave (rare) 🦋 vintagedave.bsky.social (personal, not much work there.)

@keng_wadauwant @BasicAppleGuy May I ask what you want to get rid of? I have the only vintage Mac I really want (lampshade iMac) but I do keep an eye out for other hardware. I’ve been looking for a good condition original iPhone for years. Mine was pickpocketed :(

@BasicAppleGuy I see a lot online up for sale, but they don't seem to move much. Most are being sold for parts. Mine all run like they're brand new. I used to be a Mac consultant and know how to keep them up and running. I'm sure I'll find a Mac geek if I keep looking.

Steve unveiled the Mac mini and iPod shuffle 20 years ago today!

@ilyamiskov Glassy! But with more contrast, as in your header image.

Flat or glassy CTA?

@tthirtle @iconredesign Don’t forget macOS going flat ten years ago, and then the Big Sur revamp. We’re two generations away from Aqua these days.

@iconredesign macOS only went through 2 major UI revisions. Classic and os X. That I am aware of. Windows had at least 4 that I am aware of. (1,2,3,9x,metro...I put Luna and aero as a theme and not a revamp)

Unlike Windows, this is actually the final OS you’ll be getting!

@KKriegeBlog So, uh, any advice? Speaking as a husband.

So you want to be a history prof? They warn you about the low pay and long years in grad school, the time on the job market with low success rates. They don't warn you about cousins texting about how to buy affordable antique swords for their husbands for Christmas.
