I dropped an 05 Macbook on the steps, had a mark about like that. Figured it was fine, I could barely open it, racked the whole case in some way i never expected.
I had near both feelings with the exact trouble in my life. The third panel is missing: Linux users with a thinkpad from the trash… “This will be a fine addition to my setup”
I like it when people show pictures of their computer and it’s just a pile of parts with no case sitting on a table with cables going into it. It is one of the most punk rock things I’ve seen.
Linux user here. My daily driver:
Haa, that looks just like one I worked on in 97
Distribution center, completely automated, little whitebox hanging out over a 20 ft drop strapped to a conveyor belt.
Hey Rumba, Node 17 is dropping a lot of packets, go check on it.
I get out there, unstrapped the lid (they had a belt around it instead of screws, give where it was, i was thankful.
lifted the lid and cardboard dust just billowed out. It was a 386 or maybe a 486sx no cpu fan, but it was full up to the PS with box dust, i took it down to the floor and blew it out, put it right back in service, lasted longer than the plant.
Hmmmm… Needs an SSD, otherwise a very solid daily driver.
I’d also suggest adding a few stickers to the case. That’s how software determines compatibility.
Anyone who refers to their possessions by the corporate trademark and coddles it like a newborn really will believe they’ve ruined it. It’s not a PC, it’s a Mac. It’s not a car, it’s an Alfa. It’s not a vacuum, it’s a Dyson. It’s not a smoker, it’s a Traeger. And so on. Talking to these people is like talking to someone with a mental illness.
It’s not a tissue, it’s a Kleenex.
“It’s not a vibrator, it’s an INEZ”
Smdh.
Holy shit, $20,000 USD?!
Don’t worry, you can go with stainless steel for only $7,800.
No worries, you can also do it in 4 payments of a measly $5.000
That’s a fucking steal!
Gimme Honda gimme Sony, so cheap and real phony
Yup.
And they probably did ruin their Macbook, since Macs are designed to be irreparable on purpose and a ding like that may have affected screen functionality significantly.
No lol it didn’t.
Bottom pic was my experience when I brought an old family laptop back from the dead. It had a broken hinge that made the built in keyboard and main body peel apart. It would take forever to do anything, especially after it “upgraded” to Windows 11.
Wiped the os to put Linux Mint on it, plugged in a usb keyboard and it’s been doing great since!
set your rgb to red to make it faster
Yellow iz 'da best kause ya have a fancy komputa
If something breaks, set it to green for a while so it can regen.
If it’s getting too hot, set it to blue to make it cool down
Might implement all that
I thought red is stop in my country. Green is [
gay] fast in my country. In which country do you live so I can learn the driving [and apparently kissing, stupid autocarrot] laws pleaseOooh, it’s your autocarrot that wants to greenlight gay and learn about kissing.
Green led is eco friendly, blue is cool, red is fast
Unexpected 40k Ork logic in the wild?!? Much like!
Iirc, in tests only white somewhat affected fps: it runs the hottest, so it lowers the fps.
Had to look twice because at first glance it looked like an ancient egyptian tomb.
I thought it was an old farm truck engine or something.
Looks like a blurry Ai mess to me.
The answer to both is: “No, not really.”
Especially since Macbook bodies are solid aluminium, so there’s no paint to chip off and reveal ugly plastic…
Can this cloud of dust swirling around my pc run doom?
Obviously!
