bit confusing (for me), a trace for boot rom was broken resulting in no sign of life and cycling S4 - S0 lines. thankfully there were test points at both sides to solder to. it's the "rare" i7 config as well!

ordered it months ago but didn't try to fix it until today.. i've been feeling yucky and i'm happy to accomplish something minor 😋

boring prediction: that rumored 12" macbook will be one of two things:
- genuinely cheap but with ipad-like limitations (e.g. only appstore apps, no xcode, single usb-c port..)
- a full-fledged computer but priced only like $100 below the regular macbook air
hope im wrong, but "low-cost" apple devices are always one or the other. they won't risk cannibalizing their other product lines

i think it's still working! no roots yet though

i thought it died years ago, but apparently the battery was just so low that it wouldn't even try to charge. briefly injected 5 v to the battery terminals and now it's working and charging off usb!!

sadly the pokemon save is long gone since they need power to keep data..

omg? the palm tablet i played pokemon blue on in high school is working again??

only just learned that Maxwell (low-poly spinning cat) and Uni ("big boobs") are two distinct individuals. embarrassing

is this good

so is a "hot minute" another "biweekly" situation or is one usage objectively wrong?

can't believe that magic plant hormones ("keiki paste") are really converting a flower bud into baby leaves 🥹 im so excited to (hopefully) duplicate my phalaenopsis orchids finally!!

i've ordered jeans which fit me. then ordered a size smaller to check if it's too small. it is too small. why did i do that

i believe in a "misery business" x "better than revenge" cinematic universe i.e. they're about each other/the same guy

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)
