I’m not much of a gamer. But every now and then, a game comes across my radar that looks worth trying. Often, these games don’t run on macOS, so my interest is short-lived.

It’s not easy saying goodbye. But it’s often inevitable. When Chonky Boi entered my life, I thought we’d be together, doing great things, for years to come. But the fates had other plans. All is not lost, tho. I still have mini boi by my side. Together, we will forge on, blazing an albeit smaller … Read more

This might extend to the other versions of AirPods. I don’t know because I dislike earbuds with the energy of infinite trenta cold brews. AirPods Max have really good sound. Build quality’s fine.
