Agreed! My trusty little M1 air has been my absolute favorite computer I’ve ever owned. It’s just so darned capable and entirely silent. It does everything I need it to do and then some. I’ll upgrade sometime, but for now long live the wedge!

One thing I’ll say about the old model was that out of all the dating apps, Bumble was the only one where every woman who I met or even just messaged with could hold a conversation. That one requirement of them reaching out first set the bar, and I knew they were making the choice to speak to me out of all the other guys they were drowning in. I ended up with more dates through Bumble than any other app, and even made great friends with some people I didn’t romantically click with. Online dating is awful, or was for me, but Bumble was the least awful one of the bunch. The new model sounds not so great.

I did not! Thank you!

Which qualities would you like to improve?

I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself.

• Nova launcher to simplify things a bit and give me more search engine options

• Firefox as my default browser with ad blocking add-ons to maintain some sanity

• Solid Explorer to do file system stuff

Built in stuff:

• Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed

• Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule

• Flip to Shhh is great for… shushing. When flipped.

• Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when I’m actively awaiting interaction.

• Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.

I just wanna listen to my audiobooks while on my morning walk without carrying my phone.
