Apple & MacBook Pro saved me — 1st rule be VERY careful
Keep your guard up at ALL times — the baddies are out there…
As you know, I am a died-in-the-wool MacBook user and Apple lover — this weekend I think that love affair saved me from a very, very nasty and possibly crippling experience.
To tell the story properly and in full it’s probably best I give you context and start at the beginning — which was one week ago.
Part of the job
Apart from writing here most days on Medium, part of the ‘brand’ is my YouTube channel. On there, I make videos about very similar kinds of topics but often branch out to chat about Android as well.
So, part of running a YouTube channel, as it grows, is to try to attract sponsorship. These channels, certainly in the tech space cost a lot to run. In the last month, I have bought both the iPhone 15 Pro Max and this week I will take delivery of the Pixel 8 Pro — those two purchases alone have cost me over £2000.
With Google in a bit of a mess right now — what with being in court on anti-trust charges and the whole invalid traffic mess (that I am caught up in) earning money in an attempt to cover my costs is a necessity.
