I've had a mac for years and still haven't had any need for an iCloud account. It's optional

I've recently gotten a couple (absolutely tech illiterate) friends and family to move to Linux. It's finally there - it's much easier to use than windows now.
And if you don't want to keep shelling out for new computers every few years, doubly so - Linux works fine on decade+ old hardware (and you can keep upgrading practically indefinitely to stay within security windows, so you barely ever need to actually buy new hardware)
Putting mold on infections? Wait what?
Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling
I had to help my sister keep her 8 year old Mac going or buy a new secondhand (cheap) machine. With the options out there and with the state of Windows, I didn't even consider it.
She's ended up with her same 8 year old Mac with Ubuntu 24.04, and I've been really impressed with how it's actually great for non-technical users these days! And works really well on old hardware.
This should give her another few years of life out of the thing without worrying about software support.
Well yeah. I turned that shit off on day one of getting my phone. It doesn't even make you faster at typing? What's the point in having it enabled?
Now when I make typos at least it was me that made the typo
I like to hold the banana upright facing away from me, and then I sneak up behind it and use a really sharp knife to sever the jugular part way through before I rip its head backward, peeling the skin all the way down its spine.
It's immensely satisfying, especially the crisp clear sound the knife makes as it cuts off the life force
I don't have space for a desktop computer - and I have a standalone house, it's not like I'm in some tiny apartment, so I'm guessing this isn't too unusual? I pull out the laptop when I want to play games.
It helps that I don't play AAA games and a decent spec laptop plays what I want just fine
If a democrat loses under this system they will have lost fairly.
On a macbook? You can't plug a normal keyboard in without a USB hub because there's no USB-A port

We have a Nissan Leaf (30kWh) which has been great. No regrets.
The things you worry about before buying (range, battery life) are absolute non-issues. For optimal battery longevity you don't want to use a fast charger very often, so just charge it at home which is generally more convenient anyway. You can make exceptions occasionally when you need to.
We use it for city driving, for which the range is more than adequate and we mostly only charge it every few days. We haven't yet attempted to take it on a proper road trip; so far we just borrow a friend's hybrid if we need to do that, basically to avoid having to think about charging.
