What Are You Doing Right Now
-
And the Mac crashed again. This time the screen just froze. The mouse stopped moving, all keyboard input stopped. Had to power cycle it.
This is literally the least stable computer I have any memory of having used.

@MattSpeller You have no idea how freakish that picture is to me... Not because of the glowing eyes... But I had a dog that looked almost exactly like yours -- even down to the white splotch on his chest!
-
@scottalanmiller You need to put it out to pasture and get a new Laptop.... or install Windows on it and see if that doesn't fix the problem.
-
@scottalanmiller Are you using OSX on it or have you nuked it to a windows box?

I can't go to Windows. It IS going to be OSX.
-
@scottalanmiller My boss also rocks the mac's and she's forever complaining about crashing / reboots.
Anecdotal evidence at best but interesting none the less.

@scottalanmiller Why OS X? You have all those nice and shiney Steam / GOG / Origin games just calling your name!
But seriously... I quit with OS X around version 10.8 (MountainLion?)... Everything after that has just been painfully slow for me, and in general just flat out doesn't work well. (I know a lot of people who have it and love it, but that has not been my experience at all.

If I recall correctly it is a Change.org laptop that he has to do development on.

And I can only assume they have added something to it causing the unstable issues. Prior to moving to Chicago, I was on site at various clients at least 3 days a week using my MacBook Pro exclusively and I never have these kinds of problems.

All of the extra management software that is normally put on the machines is not on my because I'm in infrastructure.

No agruments there... although I have ample anecdotal evidence that supports @scottalanmiller 's observations.

Congrats.

@MattSpeller Why not use a 2 stroke hotdog powered trolling motor (read: A pair of oars powered by you)... ?

@dafyre Can't fly fish and row
