Personally for me it's that it's not as resource heavy as windows whilst offering a similar out of box 'it just works'. Sure it's not the best tool for the job in a lot of regards but for example I have two laptops from early 2014. A macbook air and a windows laptop running windows 10. The macbook air runs smoothly when browsing the Web, or studying whereas the windows laptop ends up slowing down a lot and chugging.
I will say I am a fan of the best tool for the job approach though. Doing a lot of office based work and need word editing or spreadsheet editing? Windows. Gaming? Windows. Server work? Linux. Music/video production? Macs

I did feel a little like Richmond sat in the dark watching these flashing lights!
Can you tell I'm a fan of these models? Despite all their quirks and diva behaviour
Sadly that CRT is no more...it seemed to have an issue with it's flyback coil and I am not brave to attempt fixing CRTs
Got this a while back and I am so glad I did. Massive fan of this pc

Just a crappy webcam plugged into one of my servers running simple rstp server to send the stream to vlc. Quality isn't fantastic as you can see but I enjoy it
There is just something relaxing about those blinking lights y'know?

Ah it's on three bits of wood screwed into the wall. Can still unscrew it and flip it over though so I may do that.

They have, but you can still find them on the second hand market. I m not looking forward to the day they stop supporting them however

Firewatch is a good example of this. Wandering round an empty forest, seeing an evergrowing forest fire all the time. It's quite eerie but not outright horror.

Ah this isn't the chromecast streaming devices I'm talking about. It's the older pucks that plug into an aux cable that you can stream music from your phone to

I mean I could.. And probably will. The cisco stuff has just been thrown in there and still needs properly organised. I am going to shore that shelf up as well

Reattaching my towel rack to my wall. It was held in with drywall anchors but those have failed so will either repatch and reattach or glue it back on. Depends on how done with it I am

Honestly.. I might get some pushback for this but Chromecast audio. Being able to get full home audio streaming for a fraction of the cost of a normal system with a few of those and a few old hifis. Worth it for me
