As a parent who doesn’t try to convince childless people to have children… fair point.

We had to replace the entire screen assembly for that at the time but I’m sure it’s possible to do something less drastic if you are just working on your own machine

I worked on repairing Macs during that period and I suspect that no wifi card except this specific one would fit in the relevant slot of the machine.

They weren’t standard formats as far as I know and couldn’t be used across models because the shape of the actual card was never the same. It’s possible the connectors didn’t change though, or that a third party manufacturer made new cards specifically for that model, although that seems unlikely.

Another commenter (u/bloodfart) wrote that the connector was a standard mini pcie connector; I can’t confirm but that’s plausible and would mean it’s a lot more likely that an upgrade may be possible

One note of caution, it was really easy for an uninitiated repair person to sever the antenna wire from its connector when trying to disconnect or reconnect them, the cables are quite thin

I don’t really have great knowledge on this topic but my understanding is that it wasn’t just because it was purple, it was that the resulting purple dye was excellent; it was bright, beautiful and never faded. You can dye stuff purple with cabbage but it’s just not a very good dye in those regards

It doesn’t fit all the criteria you mentioned, but if you don’t print that much and wanna try a dryer before buying anything, you can make a cardboard foil tent for your printer bed and use that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MflrcqNozqs

Oh I see; I knew they stopped supporting it after a while but I thought the official app was a descendent of that codebase

The comparison is even more apt when you remember that the official Reddit app also used to be the most popular and great 3rd-party app called AlienBlue, which was purchased from 1 guy and rebranded a decade ago.

It’s pretty clear that the reason why the official Reddit app isn’t good is because a good experience for their users isn’t their goal.

In Canada, they typically pick one or two last names out of four for the kid. Some adults decide to go by just one of their last names too

There’s a channel called Improbable Matter on YouTube created by a scientist formerly working on fusion with a super interesting series about fusion power https://www.youtube.com/@ImprobableMatter

Chickpea curry is made entirely with pantry items and is very delicious. You can throw in non-pantry items if you have them but they are not necessary

Spam musubi is a popular snack in Hawaii that’s also entirely pantry food. I love spam but not everyone does; if you want pantry meals though chances are you would be okay with it.

Obviously canned soups are a good pantry meal source, no special recipe there

Flaked ham or tuna cans with Mayo & relish (or chopped celery if you have them) are delicious to eat on any type of crackers

That’s what I can think of for now haha

I find that this backfires sometimes because many people don’t seem to have any hobbies.

In the context of an interviewer, I sometimes ask “can you teach me something cool about one of your interests in 5 min?” It’s not the same context obviously but you learn a lot about a person quickly that way. Bonus point is, I learn cool stuff about new things I’m probably not familiar with haha

It’s pretty weird to be basically shilling for brands in here but Nexcare bandages are superior to band-aids in pretty much every way; i agree that band-aids beat generic though
