I'm a husband, father, game dev, synth nerd, musician, tinkerer, and ponderer.

Randomly posting about whatever is on my mind or heart. My posts are for myself as much as anyone, a way to filter and process my life and remember it too. Looking to connect with kind, positive, and interesting people that are passionate about what they do. Chicago Area.

*Big #ITYSL fan, if I post something that makes absolutely no sense, it's probably from the show.

@StaceyCornelius@zeroes.ca Yeah, it's a bummer, but given the amount of space in a laptop and the generation of product, it seemed likely. 😐 I think the MacBook Neo was built with user repair in mind, but don't hold me to it.

@StaceyCornelius@zeroes.ca The special screwdrivers will have to be acquired, (Torx I think?) Definitely watch some YouTube to see how complex it is. The level of disassembly and reassembly might be complex, but you might luck out and find the keyboard is directly exposed on the top lid of the case.

@izzyamar@beige.party If you can confirm they are #0-80 (and a few articles seem to think so) this nut driver might do the job. https://www.ebay.com/itm/196301975345

@izzyamar@beige.party Looks like other are using needle nose also. You would think there would be some tiny ratchet head or wrench somewhere?

@LibertyForward1@beige.party Everyone's a hypocrite, not everyone admits it, or is even aware. Appreciate your insights and honesty in this post.💙

@pastelexuvia Throw a little reverb on there and it would be quite haunting. Gosh I love weird stuff like this.

There's a big difference between wanting to be liked, and wanting to be appreciated. The value is very different.

As, I get older, I care less about both, but I think at times in my life I confused the two.

I can tell how cranky I am by the number of times I swear at my technology. We're running around 50%.

I have had no desire to write code since I've gotten home. Hopefully the itch will arise soon.
