cas and dean are like the north and south poles in terms of how their abandonment issues fundamentally affects their love languages

(Don't do this to fanfiction authors. It's just rude. Vending machines take your faceless demands. Writers need human encouragement.)

The audacity of opening my fics just to ask me to do something for you… You can’t even pretend you read it before making a demand?

I'm now seriously considering buying a cheap Windows 11 PC/laptop in the Amazon Prime Day sale to take up the slack of the basic stuff my OMFG-costly top-of-the-range MacOS laptop can't or won't do. Like talk to my external hard drives without a translator and several mystic incantations followed by a blood sacrifice. Or write to the external drives I've set up specifically for Mac directly from an FTP download so I can download backups bigger than my current SSD. (more grumpiness behind cut).

"There used to be an app to work around that" is the only response I can get from tech support forums. And yes, there used to be. I used to be able to install Windows on a Mac as dual boot if I felt like it, and assumed I'd be able to when I bought this thing. Then M1 came along and an amazing number of things that I used to be able to do on a current Mac, with a bit of effort, became undoable overnight. New and improved!

Apple's tech is so, so sexy and alluring, and manufactured like a brick privvy compared to its rivals' flimsy build (which is why I bought one), but by god it isn't fully functional if you do more than blog and browse using one app at a time. We don't need added AI assistance and stalking, you hear me, Apple? We need the ability to perform basic functions on demand like Windows and Linux and Android do, and talk nicely to other OSes and their file systems so I can move my own data around whenever and wherever I like, 'kay? Play nicely with others or go home, Apple.
