Not wearing a seatbelt and not wearing a helmet.

Disable or delete mobile advertising ID.

Become a ball of anxiety, never talk to them, remain alone.

Of course, the junk drawer.

I don’t think I’ve ever been in a home without one.

Stopped drinking alcohol.

Started walking more and taking the stairs instead of elevators whenever possible.

Yep. Every kernel update. Granted that’s less often than Windows requires a reboot.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I think 11 is pretty great from a technical standpoint. The only real issue I have is modern standby…I miss having laptops that actually go to sleep and aren’t dead a day later. But that’s a fight I’ve given up on.
