I remodeled a bit, and added my 360 to my setup, and also made it so I can watch TV on my pc now:

I'm actually a Technology Designer, I have multiple different roles ranging from shaping and molding the direction of a companies deployment of Apple products down to some Research & Development work. As with most things Apple, I'm a little secretive with my exact job responsibilities as it allows me a bit of mystery! ;) Needless to say I do get to play with some things that don't exist outside of the reality distortion field right now (hence the shut down screen on the left) and can say without a doubt that I love my job! :)

Must be nice to love working for Apple. My dad hates that place so much at times. 10-16+ hour days with no over time and 2 hours of commuting = no fun.

:| nice setup man. What kind of camera are you using to be able to take such a panaramic picture?

The camera is a Canon EOS 400D.....

The panorama was made from multiple photos, i guess 6, with photoshop cs3 photomerge...

it's not a direct panorama picture.. (i'm still waiting for my canon 10-22mm :) )

Ahh that makes sense, I just assumed it was a single picture but I'm not very good at spotting these things lol. :p

Mac fanboy huh? :)

What do you think of the Macbook Air vs. the Macbook Pro? I hear from some people they think it's a bit lacking in features.

I've been using the Macbook Air as my main computer and I haven't found it lacking at all. I even underclocked it to 800Mhz so it'd be cool and quiet and didn't notice a decrease in performance. I send all the processing to a pair of Xserves and the Macbook Air only displays the results.

      I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.

      If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

      I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it

      Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
