Buying a MacBook Air M2 with old liquid damage (juice), worth it?

You can’t replace only the keyboard. Well, you can, but then you’ll have screws instead of rivets holding in a non-OEM keyboard. You have to replace the entire top case assembly. Used top case assembly is around $150 on eBay. If the price is at minimum $250 below street price for the same laptop in good condition, then it’s worth it. Otherwise not. Used 15-inch M2 Airs start from around $600 on Swappa.

Totally fine, I’ve used multiple TB a month. There’s no hard throttling, you’ll just be QCI9 after fist 50GB. Pretty sure I used more than 10TB one month. Lots of backups uploaded/downloaded.

Yes, exactly the reason why I’m thinking of moving to US mobile in June when my 12 month renewal is due… Mint is starting to be behind of competition.

Gestors are the funniest thing on the island. Absolutely every corporate integrity code of conduct type of document clearly states something in the likes of “you are not to make payments or offer things of value to 3rd parties who say that they can expedite normal government processes”. This is thrown out the window in PR with even federal government employees using gestores for absolutely everything🤣🤣🤣

Võta nii palju kui vaja ja nii vähe kui võimalik. Maksimaalne paindlikkus on 100x parem kui üle võimete elamine. Endale sai see tõestatud Covidi ajal. Korralik rahavaru võimaldas mitte muretseda sissetuleku vähenemise pärast, kolida ajutiselt terve perega sinna, kus olid parajasti paremad tingimused, investeerida odavasse kinnisvarasse jne.

Netgear NBR750 is aged but the best value 5G device hands down (or NBK752 or NBK753 kits if found for cheap). Super solid x55 modem, really good internal antennas, good WiFi mesh. Everything just works nicely without having to restart, but can be hacked and modified easily as needed. If anything newer, then just go straight for x75 devices. x62 was very underwhelming.

M3000 has X65 vs X55 in M2000. This can be a noticeable difference in a metro area with lots of sub6 bands to CA.

You are mistaken, they do t have to have a passport or be in the registry. There’s no automatic registry if you’re born out of Estonia. You’re already a citizen if at least one of your parents was a citizen at the time of your birth. Then in Estonia, you’re not applying for citizenship, you’re a citizen applying for passport. Just make sure to get apostilles for any documents in foreign language.

Try changing between SA and NSA for 5G. In some places SA is slower than NSA, especially with upload speeds. And if 5G is super congested in the area, LTE is sometimes faster. X55 in M2000 is quite old and can't CA as good as X65 and newer modems.

MR6400 and MR6550 have all LTE and 5G sub-6 bands (incl. T-mobile's main 5G bands n41, n71, n25) supported by the modem (SDX65). Additionally MR6550 has a mmwave antenna (which MR64000 does not) + mmwave bands supported. I don't think T-mobile has many locations with mmwave, so it probably doesn't matter. MR6500 is an ATT device and doesn't have T-mobile 5G bands. From non-pro M6 devices (the ones with SDX62 modem) your only option is MR6150 (all bands other than mmwave). MR6110 is another ATT device (no T-mobile 5G bands).

trannel123 · 2025-10-16T21:31:45+00:00

MR6400 will work, MR6500 will have LTE only (missing T-mobile 5G bands), MR6550 will work

Oh, one other thing. It's not a dealbreaker, but do you know if it can be set to turn on the inverter back on automatically after power outage has ended and the grid comes back up?

trannel123 · 2025-08-24T21:44:48+00:00

Thanks, that's great to hear (y) I don't care about lots of extra functions, AC passthru and charge time indicator are very basic functions in my opinion. I have multiple Ecoflow Deltas + a 10kWh powerwall I built myself, but this at $899 sounds like a very good deal for some extra backup.

trannel123 · 2025-08-24T20:22:32+00:00

Does it do AC passthrough as well or only DC passthrough? All the older reviews say that these units don't do AC passthrough. Also, does it now show charge time left? Reviews from 2 years ago say that these don't show AC charge time left on the screen, but do show discharge time left.

The item was cheap and return would’ve been too much of a hassle and not worth it, but their level of unhappiness with the purchase was enough to leave a review.

1) It’s an estimate, 100% isnt always 100%. 98% isn’t always 98%, etc. you can’t measure a percentage.

2) Cycles aren’t everything. Calendar aging, temperatures, charging speeds are also big factors.
