No, this isn’t a MySpace joke, we’re waaaay too old and sensible for that. I was browsing my Backup Synology and trying to figure out why it was showing no space available on a 30TB volume. I don’t have that many linux iso’s, do I? The answer turned out to be in this magical post – thanks Martin Chou! In
We like Macs, but there are some er, less desirable models in the line up- so If you’re buying a new Mac this year, what specs to recommend? This post was originally written in March 2017, and since then Apple has updated everything- I have updated each of the categories with new recommendations as needed.
