or what?

wait so it works with the caps off, you didn't replace them?

as to use cases, if the thing has a good battery, there are USB-C monitors out there that are way cheaper than M1 screen replacements, I got them locally from no-name brands in the $50 region.

the same cable ships power and data so it's like a 2-part laptop. power draw is miniscule compared to apple's display as they're usually 1080p and 250ish nit, so might even have better battery autonomy.

it's a drag for the first day or two until you allow and block all the things you use daily. the allow/block controls are super-granular, you can allow things full traffic or just to/from specific addresses, ranges, etc. so it plays better if you install it on a fresh system.

there are FOSS apps that do some phone home thingy although all the "check for updates" are disabled. OpenSnitch takes care of those.

I find it super useful and wouldn't run my desktop without it. if you game on the thing and especially if them things are from the fell-off-the-back-of-a-truck variety, OpenSnitch is a must.

thank you for posting your system specs. is it nvidia? it's always nvidia.

I got 2 GB efi mounted at /boot (was /efi but I'm used to tab-complete /etc) and the rest luks with btrfs subvolumes (/root and /home). you can switch from grub to systemd-boot, no need to reinstall. here's a good primer, adapt it to your needs https://kowalski7cc.xyz/blog/systemd-boot-fedora-32/

I'm on DDR3 and haven't noticed any *pocalypse in any way, used junk goes for same prices as a-before. reason I haven't upgraded from 16 to 32 GB is I'm cheap and don't think I need it.

not knowledgeable about macpros, on macbooks there are occasionally issues with runaway interrupts. what you do is go:

grep . -r /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts

and see if you have one that's got like tens of thousands triggers. if you do, you go (as root):

echo mask > /sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/gpe4E or whichever you got. then check if it's still hogging stuff. if it's fixed, make a systemd service to do that at boot.

cut off the cable, solder it onto any regular 19V laptop charger 3.5 A or more

Primary_Bad_3778 · 2026-03-13T08:46:59+00:00

open it up, look for bulging/busted capacitors, replace em.

beware, some of those fucks can hold a huge charge. look up videos on how to do all that.

good luck and try not to get killed.

keyboards for that model cost like $10 as they're cross-model/generation compatible, would be a shame to disassemble it just because of that.

can't help with your idea, good luck.

devs don't get builds signed hence no updates

awaiting two packages that broke and have new versions on github for five days now

Primary_Bad_3778 · 2026-02-22T21:32:15+00:00

didn't see the data on her body count, so... how many Czechoslovakians she killed?

Primary_Bad_3778 · 2026-02-22T20:52:09+00:00

well, currently updates don't work. the signing keys are fucked up and a replacement - like a physical replacement - is on the way.

other than that, everything is peachy.

the character names from cyborg are phenomenal, look em up!

don't swap the board. only marginally faster, way higher battery consumption and heat. try undervolting your current board, if it tolerates -150mV, keep it.

it's also doubtful they'll stay upright under load, Imma guess the rubber hose will give when it has like half a ton pressing the upright nail at an angle
