lol my friend got his battery replacement at an authorized servicer and they hosed it up so he has to go to the fruit stand to get the unit replaced im pretty sure it's actually impossible to fully reassemble and seal up the phones after you've opened them, there's always something they couldn't pack back into the chassis properly or they didn't glue it and the screen sticks out a bit. and of course the waterproof seals are ruined forever even if you do manage to stuff it all back in properly

The ATP guys sound like any other nerd, so what's the big deal Gruber sounds ok but it's hard to listen to 30 minutes of talking about carbonated water bottles

siracusa and casey can't/won't talk specifics about what they do since they have real jobs which leaves marco to talk about his apps that he makes. he's also the only one that actually buys new hardware frequently, so he usually has things to talk about. from his latest tweets, it sounds like he'll be pretty positive on the next one.

if it is just the one-off just use overleaf and save yourself installing twelve billion packages (also use overleaf if it is not a one-off, but in that case probably install latex and use the git integration to escape the browser when convenient)

latex documents stopped being hard to build when latexmk mostly solved the “how many times do I have to run what tools in what order” problem, and modern engines made it support unicode and opentype instead of the weird old proprietary encodings and fonts unless you want to do anything that isn’t trivially supported by an existing package, in which case  but that’s a fundamental problem that won’t be fixed by getting a web service to run latexmk for you

One of my MacBook (butterfly) keys was a little sticky, so I followed this informative and insightful guide to try to fix it: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205662 As a result, now 10+ keys are far more stuck than the one that was sticking, including a completely unusable space bar  After reading other people’s experiences with this, anyone have any tips for how to avoid a lovely repair experience? Sounds like I’m gonna walk into the Apple Store appointment I have on Monday, have someone paw at the keys and say “yeah it’s out of warranty and needs the entire top to be replaced.” Aside from that taking it out of commission for longer than I’d like, it also apparently costs 400-700 dollars :/ I could try removing the keys on my own to clean but a) if any of them break its difficult to get replacements, b) I watched a MacBook Pro w/same keys very delicately remove a space bar with proper technique and it broke 3+ clips, cheapest replacement space bar for butterfly I’ve found is 70 bucks This laptop was very needs suiting before it was crippled by keys not being able to be pressed

just broke down and ordered canned air for my MacBook Pro with touchbar(tm), Apple’s flagship portable computer edit: I can tell Apple doesn’t give a poo poo about the touchbar because it’s the only Apple product that doesn’t get autocorrected to the proper case iPhone iPad iPod Mac MacBook Apple TV tvOS watchOS macOS Magic Mouse oh fucks sake really the magic mouse is in autocorrect and the touchbar isn’t
