First one that’s choked me up too.

Maybe because of how notable his absence is? Seeing rather than reading/hearing.

I’ve got ethernet running through the house, without running it through the walls. I’ve used cord covers but it’s still a bit tacky looking, TBH.

It’s totally feisable to do runs through the walls via the attic (my house is a single story on a concrete slab) but I don’t want to do that particular job. Might pay someone to do it some day, but it’s pretty low on list of things to throw money at.

Had a similar comment in mind. The cost for a coach seat on a train to the nearest destination city that there’s actually a route to costs about 3x as much as a round trip flight (budget airline) and takes over 24 hours. I would prefer rail were it practical, but it’s not.

No secret that our rail systems suck though. I have taken trains in Europe and Japan, and those experiences were great!

Long time and still current hater of all things Apple here.

I have to use a locked down enterprise managed Windows 11 laptop for work. If given the choice of that or a locked down enterprise managed Mac, I’d switch in a heartbeat.
