          [?]Drew is ageing badly 🇵🇭 » 🌐
          @drewph@ieji.de

          If I had a blog, this would be a blog post. I don't, so you lot are blessed with it... it's a bit long.

          I've been diving down some deep rabbit holes recently, making some tough choices about my tech stack.

          It's kind of a macOS vs Linux post but just about considering practicalities rather than ideology.

          Since 2020 my main computer has been an M1 with a nice big 4K LG monitor, an OWC Thunderbolt 3 dock with umpteen ports, and a Sound Blaster Katana soundbar. I also have an elderly Linux that I bought second-hand for controlling the but I'll come back to that.

          As a privacy advocate I would love my main working environment to be Linux, and I absolutely hate macOS (I downgraded back to Sequoia after trying it for a week), so I've been watching the project closely. Sadly the lack of progress on ("work in progress" for 2 years!) means is still not an option, because I can't work without the big screen or the dock.

          But recently I realised my Thinkpad has Thunderbolt support, and although it's old it's fast enough for software development (it's an X1 Carbon with a 6th gen i5 CPU).

          So... (lightbulb moment) why don't I just swap the 2 machines - use the Thinkpad as my main dev machine, and the as my model railway controller? Quite an exciting thought. I then spent ages plotting out how this might work, checking which apps I could still use, etc etc.

          Unfortunately I came up against 3 barriers:

          1. My particular Thunderbolt dock model does not have a Linux driver.

          2. Creative do not offer a Linux app to control their Sound Blaster Katana models, and without an app most of the functionality is unavailable.

          3. My model railway layout planning app (RailModeller Pro) is a Mac-only app, and using it on a small screen (because the Linux laptop would be using the big screen) would be impractical. The only Linux app that does the same job (XtrkCad) is a monster with a near-vertiginous learning curve and terrible UI. There are Windows apps but I refuse to go down the Wine route.

          Whichever way my thoughts take me, I can't get past these three issues. I simply don't have the budget to replace the soundbar with anything decent (I love my music), and although the Thinkpad has more ports than the Air, I'd still be juggling cables to a frustrating degree. And yes I could unplug the big screen and put it into the Mac when using RailModeller Pro, but when I consider all these issues together, it's just too much friction to consider swapping the two machines' roles. I'm too old to deliberately choose to make my life harder for any reason.

          So now, after months of thinking Asahi Linux was going to transform my life, I'm coming to terms with the fact that I should just keep things as they are, and in particular accept these two compromises:

          1. Live with Apple-level surveillance on the basis that it's still way better than Microsoft-level surveillance.

          2. Stay with macOS Sequoia for as long as possible, and hopefully by the time Apple forces me to upgrade to a new OS version, they will have moved on from the appalling liquid glass UI in Tahoe.

          So that's it. I don't like compromising; I never have. The side of me always wants to take a purist, absolutist approach (privacy at all costs!), but in the end I have to be realistic. Not to mention the side of me getting way too excited about CHANGING SOMETHING! YAY! DOPAMINE! But now that I've lived with my diagnosis for a while I'm getting better at forcing myself to accept necessary compromises.

What is the bare minimum iPhone that you'd recommend for a 13 year-old? I see lots of "renewed" cheap iPhones, like an iPhone SE, 11, 12 or 13. What is a sensible model that won't be horribly out of support in the next 18 months, and which is supported by Family Link or similar controls for parents?
