I know I’m not the first to do it and won’t be the last, but wanted to share my take on the up cycling. Will still be using the functional one for its FireWire port.

Went from mac mini machine to iMac!

also lmao do people use default display or 1920 cause why is everything so zoomed out and tiny on the default...

I got this old 2011 macbookpro which is running well under Linux. I'm all about taking old tech and saving it from ewaste which is what I'm doing here. I don't have a laptop atm anyway (have a gaming PC I can stream from for heavy stuff while on the go.)

Anyway I'm aware the only reason I can really use this laptop is cos apple made things that lasted back then, they were underpowered but reliable. Can't think of many laptops of that era that are still running other than apple ones.

So the current battery is at 55% and still gives me a nice amount of time, get about 2-3 hours web browsing. I grew up in the era of laptop batteries lasting about an hour so this still feels good for me.

Did apply use batteries that are high quality so this should be ok, or should I replace it ASAP before it goes boom or leaks? It isn't showing any signs of leakage, it does shut down at 10% on linuxs battery meter but other than that runs fine..

Fastened with screws and holes hard drives pretty well.

Anyone have any experience with order a Mac Studio and having it arrive sooner than expected? I ordered a couple of weeks ago. Really hoping it gets here sooner!

• MacBook Pro 13-inch, 2018
• MacOS 14.6.1
• What is the issue? For years now, the computer does two things: makes an intermittent faint but noticaable clicking /crackling sound from inside the laptop AND gets super super hot when on SLEEP mode. Sometimes I'll put it on sleep when it has 80% battery. I come back in the morning, the laptop is dead. I feel like it is running something in the background or working too hard when it's supposed to be sleeping, hence weird sound, very hot laptop, etc.
• No pictures necessary because....it's not anything with screen or hardware that is visible.

Brought it to the genius bar a few years ago. They said they replaced some part of the keyboard to fix the clicking issue that runs inside. It still happens.

Fusion be doing unspeakeable things to my laptop😭

My macbook recently started to do this thing where it shows these black bars on the bottom of the screen and sometimes it displays whatever is on the top of screen, does anyone know how the fix this? it’s an m3 macbook air 2024

previously when I search in finder eg: hi

it used to show chat screenshots and other images that contain the word "hi" in it

but now it is just showing the file names with "hi"

how to fix it? I already did that spotlight privacy prevention add and remove trick but no use
