π I traded in my MacBook and now Iβm a desktop convert
by JamesBut once the puzzle of ports and peripherals was mostly sorted out, I appreciated how intentional desktop life is. Laptops are great, but their portability made it hard for me to separate work from home.
I have separate laptops for work and home that solve most of this. But having a dedicated place to do personal computing that isn't my home office is appealing. It's mostly the dining table or the sofa these days.- Tagged with

π A Strong U.S. Dollar Weighs on the World
by JamesTwo-thirds of the roughly 150 currencies have weakened against the dollar, whose strength stems from high interest rates because of stubborn inflation.
With the yen recently reaching Β₯160/dollar, rates not seen since 1990, it feels like a dream when a dollar was Β₯110. I hope (and have been hoping for 18 months now, so not getting my hopes up) the rates become a bit more manageable. Tiny jars of peanut butter shouldn't cost ~Β₯600.
