I would definitely agree to that. Even as I used it, I could see certain elements designed in a way that would suit a trackpad better.

The worst part was the scrolling experience. It was either too slow or too fast. Could never scroll at a comfortable speed. Never feel this way when I sometimes use my colleagues' macbooks (my company provides Macs, but I need certain applications which necessitate a Windows machine for me).

Thanks for saying this, it's such an unpopular opinion.

I got a Mac Mini last year and it was dreadful. I used nothing but the Mac for 2 months and still couldn't get used to it. Half the things required the use of birth mouse and keyboard, neither is sufficient on its own for the most basic of things. Finally sold it off and went back to my PC with dual boot of windows and Ubuntu.

Yes, which is why anyone spending anywhere close to this on a laptop gets 32 GB RAM

What, no! 8 GB Apple RAM costs 4 times that of 16 GB regular DDR4 RAM module.

Edit: 5 times.

What are you talking about, it always takes me to the right website when I search for the app I just installed!

I've already had it for one and half years. But yeah, still fairly standard.

Which is why Apple should have followed a 2 year refresh cycle for Macs. But they started moving to M3 within a year of launching M2.

I don't know if they've increased the price so much that people are no longer buying it or that they made the M1 models so good that people don't need to upgrade.

I have an M1 Mac Mini and I really don't see myself needing to upgrade for at least another 3 years.

Do any modern websites run with no script? I figured with most websites based in JS frameworks like react and Vue, hardly anything would work with noscript

Just a tip, you can do all this even without an array of monitors. In fact, if you're feeling really adventurous, you can even just use your smartphone with no monitors involved.

Yeah. I wrote this script wayyy before I found out about the *arr apps. After almost 4 years of tweaking and fixing, now it works so well, I don't really want the hassle of configuring the *arr apps. Also, I download everything from just a couple of trackers, so there's no searching involved.

I have some custom scripts which kinda do what the *arr apps do.

I download torrent files into a folder. My script picks it up, identifies whether it is movie, TV, music, Games, ebooks, or something else. Based on this it selects the right folder. Then calls Transmission API and adds the torrent with the relevant path.

In case of movies and TV shows, it then calls the transmission APIs to rename the files properly. This way I can have my folders well organised and continue seeding without the need of creating duplicates.

This setup works quite well. The only fear I have is the transmission remote GUI for Windows hasn't been updated in 4 years. It works quite well, but it's only a matter of time before it stops working.

Should I consider another client?

They'll ship it to India/Thailand
