$500 for a laptop that has roughly 3 years left of being usable (believe OS Monterey 12.6 is as far as this one goes) is a terrible investment. With a minimum level of effort you should be able to find an M1 Macbook Air in the $650 range and at least that one should get you through the next 6 years without issue.

This is not a good deal. They sell for around $250 used. It can’t run the current macOS, so it’s obsolete.

Every other job on the list other than admin assistant and (inside) sales is more dangerous than being a cop.

Never cancelling a credit card because you want to maintain an inflated credit score is just bad advice. It’s better to declutter and eliminate potential avenues of fraud by getting rid of cards you don’t use. The hit to your almighty credit score isn’t that big anyway. Who’s really going to care that you’re a 760…

Man, I just ditched my Air2 due it getting to near dial-up speeds. Got a NEW 9th Gen iPad w 64GB ($284 all in) and am simply amazed at the difference.

I wouldn’t say this is such a steal.... It is a 10 year old ipad that doesn’t support the latest iOS.  It is stuck at iOS12.  

Or you could use libre office which is 100% free and compatible with office and docs.
I use docs at work and libre office at home.

Absolutely! But you can also just download LibreOffice or OpenOffice for free and can do everything Office does.

Also, kind of shady that this is a rebranded StackSocial shop. I’ve previously read a lot of complaints that their Office deals aren’t legit, and remember seeing a thread from Microsoft saying not to purchase Office from StackSocial. 

Clickbait headlines like this make me want to stop reading Lifehacker. This should have bene titled: “Before you use any BNPL service, be thoughtful about why you’re taking on this debt in the first place.”  This is not unique to Apple’s program.  But thanks.

Task failed successfully.

The GA and federal indictments cannot come soon enough.

with a NY jury?  he better hope that jury is full of people from Long Island I guess...

“That being said, federal prosecutors are highly successful in convicting the vast majority of people indicted.”

Can you elaborate on what you think they need to fix? This is all working as intended...

For the conspiracy theorists in the greys, this is not part of some master plan by Apple to increase sales. Or, if it is, their web/support departments don’t know about it.

I built and entire car out of ramen and epoxy thank you very much. /s

Since speculating on films that haven't been released is apparently fair game, why stop there? I'm putting my money on Glorgon the Conqueror, who will seize Earth mid 2023. And he'll issue a decree stating that all awards go to him. All hail Glorgon and his merciful rule!

Pshhh, Tik Tok would never lead me astray. Epoxy and ramen can fix everything
