I’ve been using Gmail with the setting for “Display Images” set to off. It helps cut down on tracking and it cuts down on the visual clutter so I scan quickly.

I got free 4 months of Apple News+ for buying a new Apple Pencil and I activated it. This is the message that Apple sent me:

Apple makes a lot of how they’ve improved accessiblity and rightfully so. But this is not very good for the visually impaired, Apple.

Really bad performance on my MacBook has been driving me up the wall the past few days. Closing all un-needed programs didn’t help. I ran several Mac utilities on my system, rebooted and so on and so forth.

Still no good.

There’s 8GB of RAM in my (latest model - fall 2010) white MacBook and that really sped things up when it replaced the stock 2GB. It was very frustrating.
