Apple just made #WSL a legacy technology.

Happy to recommend #macOS for container development. If performance and memory consumption against #Linux is negligible, then it will be my top recommendation for sure.

  • I thought the glare was excessive due to the lights, but then again I'm not gonna complain more about it. Noone expects you to have a fancy mattebox with turntable to make some professional product photo.

Also even if people don't have a donor to transplant a screen assembly from or don't feel comfortable fiddling with eDP cables they could just remove the screen and have a compact AiO Desktop.

  • If it has like a "full function" #USBc port with #PowerDelivery than this can result in a sleek desktop that also looks good and doesn't require much space. Ideal if the battery is busted and a replacement isn't worth it! I've seen those in like #RepairShops where they basically setup some #MacbookPro that way as a DFU machine to reflash / reinstall other #Macs.

I think it's a necessity that we as #TechLiterates propagate the need to #UseLonger and the #RightToRepair as essential, given that #tech inherently is expensive in terms of #resources and that avoiding #eWaste and #Upcycling is an act of #EnvoirmentalProtection.

  • Tho make shure to safely remove any "#DangerPillow|s" and handing it over to the relevant #recycling provider(s)...

If I had the necessary €€€€€ I'd literally start my own "#upcycling" #business, even employ some folks collecting all the #surplus'd #Windows10 machines and just cleaning, wiping, repasting, fixing and selling them as cheap #used #PC|s for those that kinda need something to do their casual "#office", #LightGaming and #MediaConsumption.

  • I mean people are surprised how zippy even old hardware can be with just few tweaks (more RAM, a fresh SSD, cleaning it of dust bunnies and repasting the cooler with some quality (longlife #ThermalPaste, like #ArcticMX4) "#ThermalGrease" (that costs like €1/g in a 20g syringe and a #RepairShop can easily go through one in a shift)...
MastodonNerdNextDoor :Blobhaj: (@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social)@kkarhan@infosec.space Thank you for the comment! In person the screen is great for me, just unfortunate camera lighting angles. :p Ubuntu is something that I thought would suit this laptop, I wasn't wrong, it's blazing fast. The startup time is only more evidence to that. I would also get something like this as well if my budget was £100 and if I couldn't fix things. #Repair and #Reuse needs to be the default, I love repairing machines. Not all broken screens and dented machines are junk, people!!!

Hey fedi friends,

I’m currently decluttering and found my old #MacBookPro. I figured it wasn’t good for anything except recycling at this point but then I noticed Apple will still buy them back so... I figured I’d see if any fedi friends have need of an Early 2015 MacBook Pro.

I’m sorry if it’s so ancient that the offer is silly but if you just wanted to check emails/apply to jobs/write a book/etc. it would still probably serve you well.

Warning! - As befitting a laptop on fedi, it is covered in liberal and queer propaganda :blobhaj_heartrainbow: (Sorry for the pic, of course I'll give it a good dusting before sending your way!)

#Free to good home, preferably someone who needs it :neocat_heart: if you can cover shipping that's great but if that's not in budget I can pay to ship to US addresses. (DMs open)

Specs in pic, charger included (probably several as I find them). Again, sorry if this is ridiculous!

I have a 15” MacBook Pro with the M1 Pro chip. I have new Cat 6 cable and a brand new Anker USB-C to Ethernet 2.5 gbps dongle.

My Ethernet drops whenever I plug the MacBook to charge—either by MagSafe or USB-C. I’ve switched USB-C ports (there’s 3) repeatedly and it is definitely dropping the minute I plug in a charger and will resume once I disconnect the charger.

Anyone experience this? Is there a fix? #apple #anker #macbookpro #ethernet #dongletown
