It may be time to replace my early 2011 macbook pro. Any thoughts on the new macbooks? Feelings on the touch bar? The most demanding program I use is VectorWorks. I'm likely to be choosing from the apple refurbished page.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Aurelia I just got a pro with the touch bar. I have yet to use it for anything other than changing the volume. But I wanted something with more than one port. I also went with refurbished. ...otherwise I got nothing. My old computer was a 2010 MacBook Pro, so anything would seem sleek and awesome next to that!

My chromebook screen just broke, has anyone done their own replacement? It looks pretty straightforward on YouTube but I am out of practice at fiddly repairs...

All is well that ends in pizza.
-t If it's anything like the iPad screen, it's doable but tedious to unglue.
Just patience and a lot of careful prying.
And no cats jumping on it to break the LCD.

Speaking of which...
If anyone has an iPad Air 2 what died or has a cracked touch screen, but works, I might be interested. Let me know.I might be able to salvage the LCD from it.

It's kinda amazing how hot my MacBook Pro gets.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It'll make a nice lab warmer for the coming winter.

The primary wireless access point in the house died last night. Going to try this TP-Link one.
The last one was a Netgear WAC510 and I haven't always been super happy with it so I wanted to try something else even though I'll have to install a new bracket on the ceiling.

Has anyone tried YouTube TV? I am intrigued.

No, but I've been eyeing the various options. Trying to decide if they're cheaper than cable and also easier/still worth it?
