I lost everything due to a medical illness and the resulting dominoes falling (job, house). I have been limping along on a very generously donated from my church, 13” M1 MacBook Pro w/8 MB RAM. As a software developer, it has been painful, but when someone’s kind enough to give you a $1200 computer, you can’t really whine about the 8 MB RAM and 256 GB disk. For a while I was homeless and that 20 hour battery life was nice. I was able to get a contract job and save up money for a new 16” MacBook Pro so that I can reboot my freelance developer practice. Praise God, I’m going to be okay.
i’m hoping the M2 will be announced so that I know whether to buy now or try to wait for the M2 version. Very much a first world problem compared to fleeing the war in Ukraine. When I think my life sucks, I try to remember that I’m blessed to be alive, to have options and to live in the United States.
Glory to God in the highest. Glory to Ukraine. God bless the heroes who fight against injustice.
