Replacing the battery in pre-Retina MacBooks is easier than you might think! No glue, no fuss, just a handful of screws and a sliding connector.

Linux auf ARM-Laptops und Chromebooks | c’t uplink
In dieser Folge des c’t uplink geht es um die Frage, wie gut oder schlecht Linux auf Geräten läuft, die eigentlich nicht dafür gedacht sind.
A colleague gave me an old Macbook Pro 9.2, which was too slow even to open Safari or read emails...
After upgrading the ram from 4 to 16gb, changing the old HDD for a new SSD, installing #Fedora... I made a Zoom call while I had 20 tabs open on Firefox, with Nextcloud, Thunderbird, Telegram and Emacs open in the background.
But the thing that amazed me was the strange sense of #empowerment (?) I felt during the process.
Anscheinend versteckt #Apple in kommenden Versionen von #macOS die Information darüber, wie viel #Speicher die hauseigene #KI verbraucht. #AppleIntelligence belegt rund sieben Gigabyte auf dem #MacBook. https://winfuture.de/news,149487.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
@kkarhan@infosec.space@NanoRaptor given that #eInk nowadays can do up to 7 colours and early #LCD|s were as slow as the fastest eInk screens these days, would you expect some "sunlight readable" or "Ergo" series #Apple Devices in a parallell universe?
Maybe an idea for your #next #PremiumShitpost...?
Apple Refreshes MacBook Air With M4 Chip, Lower Pricing - Apple has refreshed its MacBook Air lineup with the M4 processor, adding a new sky... - https://apple.slashdot.org/story/25/03/05/1522201/apple-refreshes-macbook-air-with-m4-chip-lower-pricing?utm_source=rss1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed #macbook
@kkarhan@infosec.space@bastetfurry @janet_catcus @frameworkcomputer not to mention whilst tooling up for reinforced plastic is more expensive than CNC'ing aluminium or get that sheetmetal-pressed, the cost per unit goes down way easier as said plastic parts are less abrasive to tools and one set of shells can be used to injection-mould several thousand cases at a higher speed, reducing tge time and space needed per unit.
OFC I do expect this thing, which is basically a modern spin on the "#IntelClassmate" #Laptop to not have extreme high-end and be designed with a specific price point in mind.
Add to it that Framework isn't #Quanta, #Clevo or #Foxconn and we ain't talking #MacBook margins, but given they didn't release specs nor MSRP but are eager to get #bulk orders from #education customers, that seems the trajectory they're going.
yeesh. a macbook would actually be fantastic for my long covid brain fog.
(Yes, I did forget what brain fog was. I've been describing it as 'mental fatigue' and 'thinking hurts recently'.)
But as long as I get pre-M1 chips, I should be fine, right?
As much as anything is, in this economy run on non-consent, stealthing, theft, violation of human rights, and disregard of convivial contentment.
«Linux on #AppleSilicon is such a bad idea. Do you think Apple is going to make your life easier by porting that?»
And eventually wasn't Apple itself, but its users, what hindered the project.
@kkarhan@infosec.space@oshy @Paradox nodds in agreement
#ConsumerDevices in general are shit:
If I had to buy a #Laptop, I'd buy a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework13 #DIY, hands down cuz #Windows is a can't use & won't use no-go for me!
Unfortunately, I will no longer be able financially to support @AsahiLinux 's Marcan as a GitHub sponsor after his resignation. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Asahi-Linux-Lead-No-Upstream . While I understand why Marcan has decided to step down, I remain hopeful that he reconsiders his decision and rejoins the project. His work was vital and invaluable. I will restart my donation if Marcan rejoins the project.
Anyone want a BrikBook MacBook cover for I think the 2013 model? Yes that is the Black Widow logo. Will post to anywhere in Australia, free, I just don’t think it will get picked up if it goes to the op shop.
@kernpanik@chaos.socialTrying to open a #Quicktime video I just recorded using #Apple Quicktime for Apple #macOS on this very Apple #MacBook.
macOS: This app [sic!] cannot be opened because it's from an unidentified developer. 
For keyboard hygienists: How to keep the MacBook off when opening it
Apple has implemented a function in macOS 15 that ensures that MacBooks no longer activate automatically when they are opened. This is practical.
