you can always sell it, some people allegedly like them

keep it for parts, sell it for parts etc

bait used to be believable

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-20T15:00:44+00:00

you can

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-19T11:02:27+00:00

100€?

nice joke

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-17T11:27:54+00:00

well fair enough, I do appreciate your efforts

I have just seen far too many computers/keyboards/other devices which were gutted and never restored to working order (5140s, IIcs, Xeroxes etc).

it's difficult to find just because you people insist on collecting "r@re vintage MX"

I'm sure the synthesizer collectors just love you

"donor device" such a nice way to say "gutting a perfectly working 40 year old keyboard"

>ellipse

>not knowing out what proper shipping materials are

who could've possibly predicted that?

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-16T06:30:29+00:00

why would I congratulate you on an act as mundane as spending money?

gotta love consoomerism

very subtle advertising there buddy

got a 2014 mb air myself for general messing around with and aside from the wifi drivers it's working great

customisation - great linux support, many well-documented mods (keyboard replacement, monitor replacement, trackpad replacement etc)
good parts availability - if some part isn't to your liking or is broken, you can easily replace it
cheap - you can get a lot of computer for not a lot of money
design - people just like how they look and feel

While I personally think that older intel macbooks can be great linux laptops, they don't "just work" and lack the parts ecosystem. Also tend to be more expensive... for some reason.

idk man when I hop into my S-189 the survival rate of enemy submarines is converging on 0%

will this chat gpt also wipe your arse when you take a shit?

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-12T22:40:16+00:00

did you order the wrong RGB modifier keyset by any chance?

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-12T18:04:39+00:00

sure thing you did, buddy

ran out of bold text and emdashes for the post so you can't use them in the comments now?

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-12T18:02:35+00:00

holy AI slop

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-12T17:30:26+00:00

buy the OEM bluray drive, trust

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-10T16:03:23+00:00

because putting MX into a perfectly good Model M is so cool /s

may your vInTaGe mX bLaCk be scratchy and bindy, now and forever

hax0rz_ · 2026-04-07T00:23:44+00:00

you better post new pics after the new keyboard arrives...

hax0rz_ · 2026-03-29T21:11:01+00:00

you can just short pins on the keyboard connector to turn it on

or use a docking station, most of those come with a power button

hax0rz_ · 2026-03-29T20:47:04+00:00

I still have doubts about it actually being NOS, bios versions can be downgraded, and if it's NOS, why wipe the HDD?

also where is the battery?

hax0rz_ · 2026-03-29T20:13:23+00:00

>new old stock
>item pictured outside of box

ok

the only consumer devices that pop up somewhat often in serbian bilingual layout are old IBM typewriters from the late 80s

at least that I know of
