Last night I dreamt I was sitting on a terrace outside some computer event, explaining to a bunch of tech geeks how loud the fans in my former PC were.

When I mentioned I've got a totally silent Mac now, suddenly Tim Cook was sitting next to me, backing up my claim by showing the internals of my Mac, while telling us how the Apple engineers designed a noise-resistant titanium wall for the case. 😆

I'm not an Apple fanboy, but I did wake up smiling. 😁

just to add some context, do you mean is it possible to install #ZorinOS on a Mac with these specs? I'm sure it's possible... but haven't tried it myself.

Edit: as per responses below, with Apple hardware it is actually not possible to install ZorinOS 🫤

The cool thing is ZorinOS has a "macOS" theme so once installed you should be able to make it look very similar to what you're used to!

Last Week on My Mac: Losing confidence

What was the key to successfully learning to drive, ride a bike, or speak a foreign language? Confidence, and it’s every bit as important in computing, and in macOS.

It seems like most every other browser is all in on AI. We have chosen a different path at @Vivaldi

If you would prefer AI not to be integrated into your browser, but still like a feature rich browser, I welcome you to try Vivaldi.

Vivaldi takes a stand: keep browsing human | Vivaldi Browser

Browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. Vivaldi is taking a stand. We choose humans over…

At @Vivaldi we tend to take a stand when it comes to technologies that are in use in our industry.

We have been clear from the start that we believe crypto currencies have no place in this world. Nothing that has happened during these last few years has changed our minds. Rather the opposite. What is your take?

Why Vivaldi will never create ThinkCoin | Vivaldi Browser

It’s a topic that is practically inescapable these days, whether online or off. But when it comes to cryptocurrency, all that virtually glimmers is not gold.

I wrote a thing: #UX needs to be a required hard-skill for all working in tech.

TLDR: I believe, UX needs to be a required hard-skill for all working in tech. All of us building products have to learn to empathize with non-techie-people using our products. And just like with any kind of inclusivity issue: we must include the not-so-savvy people in the process of developing and testing products.

Its on #macOS #uidesign #uxdesign and also a little bit about #LiquidGlass

Just reading this error message throws up so many potential causes for me to check and debug and try so it gets fixed that I'm *exhausted*.
