Gregory's Server@codeofamor @marius after my batteries completely people were telling me to throw it away and by „something newer and better“! I have since replaced the battery, put new shells on the outside to smarten it up, installed a privacy screen on it, installed the latest LMDE (it can’t even run the latest MacOS) and added a 512Gb microSD and another 512Gb USB SSD drive.
Why spend over a thousand Euro when the above probably only came to a couple of hundred over months?
@alexadeswift @marius Exactly. The keyboard went bad on the MacBook by only two keys but impossible to repair even with my array of tools (I dismantled it down to the rivets). So I found a replacement second hand and replaced that part. Works better than ever. Have replaced the battery also. I must admit I currently use the even weaker HP more often because it boots fast and I usually keep it in the virtual terminal. And it has days of battery life! Can't compile for shit though. Meh. I spend most my time in SSH or scripting in helix.
