Switch to Linux Today to End the Vicious Cycle of Being Forced to Buy New Hardware by Corporations
(lemmy.ca)
No more new features for intel macs after 5 years. They will be dropped completely from security patches in 2028.
2028 is going to be another major opportunity to convert Mac users to Linux.
Right to repair an all sure, but like, who's stopping you from fixing those USB ports and battery now? Pretty sure you'd have RMA'd them if it qualified, so why not just fix it yourself? USB ports are easy to resolder with a Hot air rework station, trickier with a soldering iron but totally possible. Batteries are usually available on ifixit.
Only on a site like this you would read something like "yeah, just get an hot air station and fix the smd, ezpz." lol
Here you find the adventurous. What greater adventure than accepting "I can't make it worse" and just trying to fix something you're wildly underqualified to fix?
Yeah sure, I'm known to have repaired several devices to the recycling bin, but we're a fraction of a fraction of a minority
