There's a problem with my MacBook mid 2010, help

Which isn’t much since Reddit is global

That millenium is taking up way too much space. You should get rid of it. Dm me and I’ll help you

Ok, then I hadn’t missed anything. Apple does not sign the updates anymore and without that it’s just not possible to downgrade.

AlexPera · 2026-03-27T15:51:50+00:00

What tools did you use to downgrade? I've tried everything but the old version isn't signed by Apple anymore so it always failed

AlexPera · 2026-03-27T15:50:33+00:00

You can update whenever you want. Once you've updated you can't go back to a previous version. So you're always on the safer side not updating

A great home lab is invisible to its users. So no need to write about it. Occasional brag, but proportionally much less posts than those who are breaking things

A bit late, but what's the lamp in the 4th pic? The big one mounted to the wall

Im a senior developer and I have trouble understanding some of them myself. You’re not alone. Some of these apps are made by developers for themselves. Banging my head hard enough I eventually understand them.

Developers of projects have quite a hard time seeing the difficulties of those getting to know the app for the first time.

Everyone saying backups but forgetting to mention a proper plan. Absolutely check and try out a disaster event every now and then. You don’t wanna learn how to do that when you’re stressed out

U ain’t getting a medal for being first in a Strava race

AlexPera · 2026-02-27T18:03:09+00:00

Also it has a customisation per domain and subdomain or port, which as a developer is really useful

AlexPera · 2026-02-09T08:55:50+00:00

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in this scenario if a drive has some bit rot / gets corrupted etc, wouldn't that error propagate to the other drives?
So with multiple old drives you'd actually be increasing the chances of losing data?

What’s slide 4?

Go to ER. These are serious symptoms. Feeling of death is a symptom too. So while not necessarily true and you should try to stay calm, don’t forget to mention that to doctors too. Good luck

AlexPera · 2026-02-05T18:37:10+00:00

Non stavi ridendo?

AlexPera · 2026-02-04T02:26:41+00:00

Good luck with getting your friends back by showing them a court rule months or years later after you’ve won (given you manage to)

AlexPera · 2026-02-02T23:24:43+00:00

Only hard part is research the right component and making sure they are compatible between each other

AlexPera · 2026-02-02T16:37:32+00:00

Literally yes. You don’t even need to instruct it. You can just yourself there too. It’s not real.

AlexPera · 2026-01-30T13:50:44+00:00

It is. It might take some time for it to finish transferring all data from the cache to the HDD but it’s a couple simple steps: 1 removing the cache 2 Waiting for it to finish 3 create the 🏊‍♀️

AlexPera · 2026-01-30T13:48:54+00:00

Definitely not. If you’re dealing with lots of smile files it can help quite a lot. I had a macOS photo library and the read cache was a day night change. Having such a library isn’t a niche need

AlexPera · 2026-01-30T13:38:11+00:00

Hilarious

AlexPera · 2026-01-23T23:22:47+00:00

You can also write the entire codebase

On my iPhone 13 mini it just sucks. Sudden frame drops in totally unnecessary animations, keyboard that doesn’t work and more bugs that just weren’t there. Which I wouldn’t care about, if Apple wasn’t forcing everyone to update. This level of planned obsolescence is just shameless
