After WWDC this year, I feel more compelled to start dropping Apple devices than ever. I'm just so tired of Apple trying to tell me how to feel about the shit they're releasing instead of just showing it to me. Not to mention, I'm really pissed the laptop I bought, new, four years ago isn't getting new updates. If I'm gonna use a software that doesn't get major updates year-to-year, I could at least use something that supports more apps like Windows or is open-source like Linux. Not to mention, both of those OSes tend to have better longevity. I'm also pretty tired of buying hardware that I can't fix or upgrade for over a thousand dollars. Shit just becomes obsolete whenever Apple decides. It was a mistake buying an M1 iMac instead of a gaming PC, and I definitely won't be replacing my suddenly "obsolete" MacBook Pro with another Apple device. Had my eyes on Framework for a while. I just never expected to get the final push I needed, especially this soon.

So I just took the LSAT today and to be completely honest… wasn’t as bad as I thought it’d be. Somehow finished every section with time leftover to doublecheck my work! Feeling pretty good about it 🥰 even though I pulled an all-nighter before it and still haven’t slept… 🫠

Not intentionally, mind you—LSAC’s new online LSAT Proctor software isn’t compatible with the new MacOS Sonoma 14.0… so spent all night trying to learn how to downgrade my MacOS version in order to download the testing/proctoring software before my 7am exam.

Turns out, on silicon-chip Macs (M1+), you can’t just simply downgrade or restart/reboot your laptop to the software it originally came in. That’s apparently only an available option on Intel Macs.

Instead, if you have a silicon Mac, you have to go through the complicated process of:

1. Backing up your Mac using Time Machine on some other external hard drive or disk (since downgrading completely wipes your startup disk and erases all data)

2. Setting up a Bootable Installer—also on an external hard drive (separate)

3. Downloading the version software from Apple’s App Store (the easiest part of the entire process! Though, of course, you can’t even run it until you’ve done everything else first)

4. Using the Terminal app and running the specific (in my case, Ventura) command as found on Apple’s website and proceeding with the rest of the commands to get it working.

which… don’t get me started on figuring out how to set up a Bootable Installer. This was all completely foreign to me and honestly I was two “error” messages away from a complete mental breakdown.

At 5am, I gave up and woke up my poor friend to beg her to let me use her laptop for my LSAT.

If anyone can send me a crash course on using the Macbook’s Terminal app, it would be more than welcomed!

At this point, I gotta set up a Bootable Installer just for the spite of it. Never letting myself get blindsided like this again! Will always have a backup version. Learned my lesson lol

WWDC 2023 Highlights: iOS 17, 15-inch MacBook Air, Apple Vision Pro and more announced

“Vision Pro would potentially make for an awesome workout experience. Like, imagine doing a zombie run on that thing. Not likely for now, given the materials, etc, but would be really cool to get a sports edition” says a Twitter user. But before the end, here is a quick recap… Tim Cook promised a historic day and it truly was one. We saw a huge number of hardware and software announcements. On…

OS updates aren't what they used to be--which may be boring but is probably okay

I hope this post doesn't result in my having any early-adopter privileges revoked.

Procastination comes easy to me, but that usually hasn’t held up installing major operating-system updates. I typically download new mobile-OS editions within a few days of their release, while I’ve waited maybe two weeks for desktop releases despite their greater complexity and higher odds of breaking one app or another. But this season of OS updates from Apple and Google has seen me much…
