This is a very good integration that I appreciate it, because with these charging ports/cables sometimes they can get...

    A2159 gets hot and nothing else?

    Hey all, so a while back I had a friend give me an A2159 (2019 MacBook Pro) chassis with everything in it except for the motherboard to toy around with. I decided a little while back that it was time to buy a board off of eBay to see if I can get it working. So, I buy an untested board for 200$...

    I’m from The Netherlands and here and in many European countries, you can only buy the US English (original) keyboard layout from Apple. I much prefer the longer Shift and Enter keys compared to the shorter ones on the International layouts. I also like the text better compared to the symbols...

    in my case it said ‘from this date to this date’ and then after placing the order it says only one date.. Did yours deliver before or exactly on the day specified?

    Has a battery charger utility/manager for Mac laptops (PPC or early Intel) ever existed?

    This question seems kind of far-fetched, but I have to ask nevertheless, especially considering the prevalence of Li-ion batteries being prone to damage (including swelling) or failure, when left plugged in to a charger at maximum charge for extended periods of time. Also, considering the...
