Brand side creatives - do you work on a PC or a Mac? Any thoughts on a company that has their in-house creatives on PCs?

PC is generally more buggy for various creative softwares than Mac is. For creatives who just need Photoshop, Chrome, Calendar, Slack, and Email, Mac is head-and-shoulders ahead of PC in stability and simplicity. But, PC is potentially more powerful for certain tools/workflows, if wielded thoughtfully.

While I have a PC I work from sometimes (by choice, very intentionally), I generally see PC-only companies as more stingy/cheap and less legit. Almost all Adobe apps are less fussy on Mac, even with worse tech specs (especially the recent M1-M3 MacBook pros.)

Then again, if all you need is Photoshop, Slack, and other simple programs that aren't very taxing on the machine, a Thinkpad can end up being the more economical and "smart" choice. But comes with more headaches than it's worth IMO. Especially as Microsoft continues to enshittify Windows 11 as much as humanly possible.

I work in-house and was offered a company PC. I declined it. I explained it would be too time consuming to my job to learn the PC system. I use my personal Mac instead. They had no issues with that.

Thank you for the insight.

Is bank interest riba?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.

She never initiates calls anymore and she tells me she wants to hang up in the middle of the day and not right before bedtime. We live a 4 hour drive apart.

At my uncles wedding in Madrid I remember lying down on the grass in the courtyard after their first dance and crying, my Dad came and saw me, laid down in his suit beside me and asked what was wrong.

“I know my boyfriend wouldn’t dance with me like that at our wedding”

And we just lay there as I cried, and then got up. Had a drink.

Said boyfriend left years ago, and now I have a wonderful man who just asked me what type of dance lessons I want for our wedding next year.

Don’t give up.
