I put my lighter and guitar picks there. I sometimes put my ring in there, too. And flash disks, memory cards… Wow, I just realized I use that section for real.

Where I live, in a formal situation, woman is expected to give hand first for handshake. Otherwise you don’t.

I use acronium. Really basic app with daily notes section and many other things. Good thing about it is that I use it both on my pc and my phone and it syncs very well. Finding stuff is easy too.

Kind of. Latest releases aren’t supported officially but you can safely install Monterey (10.12) with OCLP. No data & performance loss.

You are very right. It only gets the job done but that’s about it. Seeing new Macbooks going on for hours and hours, it’s impressive.

And good thing about 2012 and early models is that you can upgrade parts. Maybe find a 4GB model for cheaper and upgrade it.

Lastly it gives me about 4 hours of battery life, doing school work (presentations, documents). If I use PhotoShop, it lasts 2 hours and I call it a day.

I recently got a second hand mid 2012 Macbook Pro for roughly 150 USD. I live in a third world country and I would call that a good deal. It has 8GB ram, 250GB SSD. 3rd gen Intel CPU but gets the job done.

I use PhotoShop very much, besides school work. You can maybe find something similar on eBay.

Pretty much nothing interesting, like most days but in a way I am excited. Because I am here in the cargo place, shipping an order to USA from Turkey. My first international order and I think about how I felt and what I learnt from the whole process… It feels good!

“even” you say. I live in a not small but not that kind of a big country and you get out of the coastal cities and you end up in whole another culture. I don’t know the exact reasons but where sea exists, I feel home. 150-200 kilometers outside is completely different. I guess in my country, where people originally came from has to do with this topic. Coastal areas generally has people from Europe, other areas from Eastern countries, etc.
