Why the hell am I holding on to this old ass Macbook?

It's a mid-2012 MacBook Pro

That was one of the best models, imo. I have a 2008 and a 2009 around here somewhere, but I genuinely like the 2012’s best

Old tech

Mine still runs, but there are some issues. The CDROM is flaky (a common issue) and one of the speakers is buzzing, so perhaps a bad capacitor or something.

To be honest, I have considered giving it to someone who will refurbish it and use it…

I have a variety of old MacBook Pros, a Bondi iMac, and a replacement TAM for the one my Ex took with her. All still work, and occasionally get used, though I have to shuffle things around to swap the TAM and the iMac. Those mostly get used to play Diablo, and Myth

I’d suggest flying to New York State, but all the flights are canceled

I seriously don’t mean to diminish what’s happening in New England right now, they’re getting two feet or something. I just want to whine about my little corner of the world, and set up a general weather bitching thread

3D printing thread

Jehannum Waaaaay back in the day I did graphic design, and Tinkercad seems to fit into my mental space for creating stuff. Nomad is kind of a virtual clay manipulation thing, though not exactly. I’ve been fiddling with it to varying degrees of success. It’s been more frustrating than I’d care to ...

Physical exertion, or the things you do to stay alive these days

I am amazed at those of you who can actually work out and put the discipline and effort into it. My sincere admiration :thumbsup:

I just walk when the weather’s nice and that’s about it. :shrug2:

@ConnertheCat - Very cool R2! I wish I had a place to store something like that! And thanks for the compliment on the painting - it’s my favorite part of doing these things.

@Ukimalefu - This is the way

@Jehannum - Mostly the costumes are STLs I have downloaded, modified a little and spent most ...

Cools stuff! I've been doing mostly cosplay stuff, and only a little for my car.

I have an Ankermake M5 which I joined the Kickstarter for. It was originally meant to be a multi color machine, but they backed out of that and it ended up just being one of the earliest high speed printers. It's ...

I said I'd never buy Airpod Max headphones

I bought the AirPods Max about a year ago for a trip to California. I really hate flying these days, and wanted to go a silent as possible. I still use them when I want to listen to certain albums (Prog Rock requres over head cans). But I also have AirPods Pro 2, for general around the house ...

THANK YOU MATT AND MALKIN FOR BRINGING THIS THING BACK!

Man what a flashback. I’m sorry I missed opening day, but I was working my new gig for Valentine’s Day weekend. I promise to try harder this time around, and not be a stranger.

Thanks for reviving the only True Form of social media.
