2009 iMac (lemon!) GPU-death near. Considering no replacement. But then want maximal performance of external SSD attached to thunderbolt dock [tech.kateva.org]. In theory UASP is important, but in practice nobody seems to beat 370MB/sec. Does UASP really matter (yet)?

The #1 selling laptop on Amazon is a $150 11″ Chromebook that can drive an external display [www.amazon.com]. Does Gruber still mock Chromebooks?

I now wonder if the awful performance I was getting with Time Capsule restores to my 2009 iMac was because I’d enabled Time Machine encryption. That machine may lack dedicated storage specific hardware decryption…

The more experience I have trying to keep family data from self destructing the more sympathy I have for people who have no backups. I think backup tech is actually regressing.

There’s an OLD Aperture bug that causes it to sometimes show albums as empty. Almost caused me to lose most of my holiday photos. I will likely never forgive Apple for abandoning Aperture…

The more I push my iPhone the less I believe people who claim iOS devices will replace the laptop. File system — damnit. (Google , by the way, has broken Google Drive by trying to make it behave like iCloud. WWTT?)

My iMac’s Network Preferences Advanced WiFi list of Preferred Networks includes those visited by my phone and laptop. iCloud keychain sync must bring these in. I’d file this one under “too clever, not worth it, probably unwise, may have side-effects”.
