What’s on your mind?

So, I was thinking about this machine code thing. It’s like a secret language that computers understand. Java virtual machine is sorta the same as what you said here, too.

Now, let’s switch gears and talk about some cool stuff I’ve been up to. I recently got my hands on some simulation of super precise tools like micrometers and slide callipers. They’re amazing! I’ve been using them to measure things with incredible accuracy. 😂 dial calipers, the steel ruler 📏 and the digital ones have given me flashbacks. I got certificates from Starett from my very first engineering class on these things 2-3 years ago, and now it popped up again in my CNC class homework, bruh 😎.

Oh, and I had a research study interview on the phone for an hour. It was quite an experience, the interviewer wore AirPods Pro so I think he streamed from his Mac. On top of that, I watched a video about a green iPhone 15 that was once neglected by its owner. But guess what? They restored it into a stunning blue iPhone 15 with a brand-new screen, back glass, and battery! Isn’t that incredible? No green replacement back glass though, it’s hard to find any.

I enjoyed my rainy day off before another rainy day at school tomorrow. It’s the perfect time to relax and recharge.

Did you ever try a slide rule (or a Japanese abacus) for maths?

@The Clark , my friend! 👊 How do you drain the battery of a Mac (specifically a MacBook) to prepare it for a battery replacement? If you have any corrections to my earlier comment, please let me know. I value your opinion as a certified Apple technician. Thanks a lot! 🤩

Disable power-saving features in System Settings and set the display to stay on. Run high-energy tasks like playing 4k videos, running benchmarks (Cinebench, Heaven, Prime95), and keeping multiple apps open, including video editing software and virtual machines (if any installed).

Also, turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, keep peripherals connected, and disable Battery Health Management. Use the Mac until it shuts down completely, then try turning it on a few times to confirm that it's fully drained. Wait 1-2 hours before opening the Mac to allow any residual charge to dissipate.
