I've been doing this for a few years! No regrets so far

one of the other benefits of this strategy is it makes every purchase hit my wallet twice as hard, so I have to really consider if I should actually buy the thing

This is not financial advice, but every $ I spend on Apple products this year I will also be investing $ into buying Apple as a stock.

My philosophy is that if I own $1000 of products (or have) from a company, I should own $1000 of the stock.

Apple, Sony, Google, Microsoft.

I've been doing this for a few years! No regrets so far

We're currently living in the brief moment between when Finance/Econ Twitter has realized that the new Covid lockdowns in Shenzhen are going to have hugely bad consequences for US inflation, but that has not yet become a widely-reported conventional wisdom.

If the contract is paid off, why are you trying to get out of it?

you'd think it would be that simple 😅

It's more like they are renting space on the roof, and instead of paying the homeowner, the homeowner pays significantly less than they would if they bought the panels outright. It's a Whole Thing™

@aaronpk Aaron any idea why the chrome chat extension will not display some profile photos in the chat display? It’s very rare but Tony at QuickTech Solutions has this happen and so do I?

I've had it happen a few times too, I don't really know why yet

What we know so far:
- this was an unmanned aircraft, likely launched from Ukraine, likely a Tu-141 reconnaissance drone from the 70s
- both 🇷🇺 and 🇺🇦 deny it's theirs
- it entered 🇷🇴 (NATO) airspace at 23:23 EET (22:23 CET) and entered 🇭🇺 airspace at 23:26 EET

Tesla Solar was a shit show. They took a month from $100 deposit to actually contact me. Took another 2-3 months for a first inspection. They went silent for 4-5 more months until I called up my rep (my rep changed 3x in this timeline) and they said my roof failed the inspection.

oh gosh, ask me about my Tesla panel experience some time... (actually it was me taking over a Solarcity lease and then Tesla bought them)

From a CEO:

“Every time a competitor mentions return to office our recruiters reach out to their people. We’ve hired 15+ of their engineers in the last 2 months.”

So easy.

In 1994, Jeff Bezos famously spotted a stat that made him leave his high-paying PE job to start Amazon:

💡 The Internet was growing 2300% per year.

What are the generation-defining stats of today?

I'll post a few to kick things off...

Why do the call the Mac Studio “Modular”? It’s no more modular than a Mac mini.

Give me a Mac Mini I can stick a PCIe card into! That's modular

Uh… WTF. Wife just got new MacBook Pro from work. From Apple, still in plastic wrap. Employer didn’t preconfigure before handing over. Boots it up AT HOME, and once connected to our wifi, it brings up her “company name can manage this computer”. Um, what? Preconfigured by Apple?

I got my new work laptop this way two weeks ago too. It was a bit surreal watching it transform from a generic shrink wrapped Apple laptop to a corporate robot machine in front of my eyes
