It's time to buy a new computer, and i have spent much time mulling this decision. Some notes from earlier this morning below. I think i have finally decided to go with the simple choice (a new mac) instead of the principled choice (a Frameworks machine for linux). I would like to be the principled, open source, open hardware person but i have Things To Do and mucking about with digital change isn't it.

Maybe after "retirement," whatever that means.

I have discovered i can return my iPad for a $110 rebate, which is about the same as  two hardware security keys for second factor authentication. So, first step is complete that exchange. The next step is to complete that return to get the credit to use when buying the new mac (my current mac seems to have quit talking to its camera, so Apple will just take it for recycling.)

This took waaayyy longer than it needed to.
