becoming the mythical "10x engineer" by simply spending 10 minutes on the computer for every minute in the day
(for some reason, my pc just Does This every week. i don't know why)
ofc, i'll be keeping the 11" macbook air as my main laptop since the 12" is very slow and a notoriously unreliable model, but it _is_ very light and very cute..
bought as non-working on ebay for ~100 cad. turned out all internal flex cables were torn (???), the keyboard had several bad keys, plus an unrelated short in the touchpad caused it to intermittently think the power button was held down 😅
...at least the main board and screen were alright, and i stole cables and a keyboard (~90 screws, yay) from a second machine. the touchpad issue confused me for a while but resolved in the end just by cleaning corrosion!
