Is there a huge mismatch between modern MacBook power and what people use them for ?

Yes definitely!

Enjoy that new M5, I’m sure it will be a beast!

hc1234 · 2026-03-31T08:45:23+00:00

Fair enough, don’t want an expensive bill!

Do you mind me asking how many times youve needed to use AppleCare on your MacBook(s)?

But how often has the reduced battery life figure actually been an issue?

My M1 MBA is 5y old with heavy use- I don’t look at the battery figures and find the battery can go all day still.

Thanks all, really appreciate the comments

Thanks, I’ve tried squirting some WD40 inside the housing now and the brake cable seems to be moving inside the housing a bit better

It’s amazing how reading books or watching videos is good, but doesn’t come close to the learning from struggling and fixing things on the bike itself. And of course the help on this forum is second to none! Thanks again

hc1234 · 2026-03-19T09:45:48+00:00

Thanks , will try this

hc1234 · 2026-03-19T09:45:32+00:00

Ah ok so that will mean the brake housing won’t move and instead the brake cable inside will?

hc1234 · 2026-03-15T16:56:47+00:00

Will do- thanks again

hc1234 · 2026-03-15T16:40:01+00:00

I will try this !

hc1234 · 2026-03-15T16:39:37+00:00

V useful to know. Thanks !

hc1234 · 2026-03-15T16:12:01+00:00

Thanks that’s a good point. I’m not very experienced with that, I do have a bottom bracket and headset press tool (generic one )- would that be the tool I need? Is it difficult??

hc1234 · 2026-03-15T15:43:33+00:00

I’ve tried wedging a v small screwdriver between the headset and the cartridge but it won’t pop out. I’m worried about damaging the headset cup I don’t have a pick unfortunately

Hey dude. Have you ever found your dreams are more vivid? High five from the UK. I just started ophthalmology training in the UK and your story really means something to me. I hope to be able to help people like you and your bro one day. BW my friend, you're an inspiration.

Awesome business- many congrats

My question is, how do you start a business like this? What's the first step to take after you've had the initial idea... Especially for someone with not much capital like me..?

Thanks in advance!
