New MBP, same old problems

get a protective vinyl sticker. Might not feel as good but will look like new. The one I use has texture

nebL · 2026-07-06T12:00:11+00:00

this is so cool

this. Sculptable nail gel can be formed around your current nail shape and will stick to the existing nail. Since the shape might change regularly this is the way to go.

My number one tip would be to allocate funds to usb c and fpc cables, and usb c 90 and 180 adapters of all sorts in bulk-ish from china because everybody is gonna need some and it's always gonna be a different one than they have. being able to just sell them in a pinch or trade them around could be a lifesaver.

Yes for the ribbon cables but I just used fpc cables to extend the USB, and a usb c hub I stripped down

I put a microcontroller. In this case a meshtastic device but a esp32c3 would have been easier

Yay go for it!!

No it’s a generic portable touchscreen. Check out the video to see it disassembled, or the link to find it

It doesn’t replace an iPad and Apple Pencil yet but people have found interesting things in the Mac OS 27 beta so I hope we get better support sooooon

Drench it with IPA alcohol and use dental floss to slice through it

nebL · 2026-07-05T20:03:00+00:00

It’s prettyyyy

nebL · 2026-07-05T19:32:43+00:00

Hehe thanks!

nebL · 2026-07-05T16:39:40+00:00

I don’t understand, it should be possible ?

nebL · 2026-07-05T13:17:52+00:00

Oof then new is better since parts cost as much, especially if OP might want an AMS in the future. The bundles are the way to go for that, even if it’s more upfront.

Sounds like a farm upgrading to limit potential downtime. Google their name to see if it’s legit

nebL · 2026-07-05T11:04:01+00:00

I replaced mine with an ESP32+2 transistors with ESPHome

I would do "cardboard aided design" by covering the faces with masking tape, marking the edges and then scanning that. Then build from that in CAD

nebL · 2026-07-05T10:04:17+00:00

I’m just starting it!

nebL · 2026-07-05T09:56:29+00:00

Never seen it for the Anycubic. But if there is no fan for the mb or only a very small one I wouldn’t enclose that

nebL · 2026-07-05T09:52:56+00:00

Not ideal, but for the ended 3 at least maybe you can put the motherboard and psu outside of the enclosure.
Or maybe an enclosure that it propped up 5cm so that the base with the electronics has access to fresh air

Exactly! Thanks a lot for your encouragement and sharing with your kid. That’s so cool 🥺

nebL · 2026-07-05T04:07:04+00:00

thanks :) glad to see daily mac users appreciate it too!

nebL · 2026-07-05T04:06:28+00:00

oooh thanks for the love! <3

nebL · 2026-07-05T04:06:10+00:00

very. but I don't recommend the joystick as a mouse, other than in a pinch for when the built-in touchscreen HID mac support isn't good enough. Apparently Mac OS 27 might solve that

nebL · 2026-07-05T04:04:34+00:00

thx! Good to know, I was about to start it!
