You are leaving on your own terms with fond memories of what sounds like an amazing work environment. You're not being forced out, your current work environment didn't warp into something twisted with you always longing for what was in the past, and you are taking an opportunity to push yourself into bigger things. The relationships you built won't disappear just because you're not working together. They may change a bit, but they won't disappear.

You're not giving up on or abandoning anyone. You are seizing an opportunity.

Yeah, I had the same thing and I tortured myself over the non-issue of leaving my current job, and going back to it.

It's your life, live that bitch how you want, don't stress about doing better just because it's different. That's that anxiety brain fuckin' with you.

Also Mac has sucked hard for the past few years. The design is still beautiful, but they BURY the issues and Indy repair shops under lawsuits and brand loyalty is capitalist brain rot.

I used to use Mac creatively for 10+ years for digital media production. The desktops became really became tedious to work on especially when they began walling off the garden harder on Snow Leopard, making it more difficult to take advantage of things like hardware acceleration for rendering, once I got out of that world, I was already invested in PC gaming. I fell hard for some of the cult of Mac stuff, too, but they've been slipping for a long while.

I'm still using my $30 fire tablet special (black friday sale, I think) from late 2015. It's practically indestructible. Slow as gently caress and doesn't really like to run anything more intensive than one media app and its OS. Still works with pornhub, have to disable a setting and track down the file location on pornhubs' site, but it works.

Hilariously durable, slower than octogenarian sex.

I have their HDX 8.9 fire tablet it’s a little older design but has more memory, storage, cpu, and GPU and a higher res screen than any of the newer ones (this thing is circa 2015 too) and it runs like a champ but has to be rebooted once or twice a day under heavy media usage.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
I have never understood the draw of apple products. The one iPhone I had, the iPhone 7, was a downgrade from what Android did and does have to offer.

Apple computers? Why?

UI, ease of use, they are the perfect grand parent computer, it would take a lot of work to gently caress one up too bad.

Also, I think the cult of Mac is built on nostalgia, at least as far as computers are concerned. I know personally I had a handful of Apple computers between like 1998 and 2012, and
man, some of those were pretty nice computers.
There was a bunch of indie software that you couldn't get on PC that was pretty great too.
Thanks to so much stuff being developed as web apps and Apple trying really hard to limit software sales to their stupid store, there isn't really a software advantage as far as I can tell, and new machines cost too much $$$, so I haven't seriously looked at one for a while.

A Mac mini might be cool though...

Edit: FireWire ruled for transferring video, and I had an Elgato external card for pirating TV that was pretty dope.

Jumping onboard the Apple bandwagon.

I’ve got a 2013 MacBook Air and it’s still going great. I had to replace the battery but that’s been it.

It’s still super fast and responsive.

I listened to some dipshits saying AirPods were a waste of money and got the top-reviewed $80 knockoffs on Amazon and they were physically 3x the size and introduced entire seconds of lag. All the meaningful AirPod competitors are priced the same.

I much prefer plastic earbuds to foam tips so my choices are pretty limited.

Started a re-watch of The Terror again, and what a loving treat this is.

It's been less than half a year that I've owned a proper 4k HDR TV, but I still keep getting my mind blown by poo poo that I had previously watched in what now seems like potato-quality.

I bought a LG C8 OLED TV and it has blown my mind how much it has improved on standard HD TVs. Got it on sale too, spent $1k for a $2.3k TV.

I got to take some more photos. They asked for my work afterwards which is perfectly fine for me. It's a trip seeing your photos being posted on a team's instagram.

Just started watching The Hot Zone on natgeo. Topher Grace being in it seems like a natural extension of his character from the end of That 70s Show when he hosed off to Africa, because he plays a lab bound bug chaser in 1989.

It's not great, cbs quality production, but it's adequate time killing material.

Kinda wonder what's going on with ebola right now, poo poo in my google news feed is slim and bleak. Haven't noticed an Ebola-rama thread pop up like in years past either.
