I worked on repairing Macs during that period and I suspect that no wifi card except this specific one would fit in the relevant slot of the machine.

They weren't standard formats as far as I know and couldn't be used across models because the shape of the actual card was never the same. It's possible the connectors didn't change though, or that a third party manufacturer made new cards specifically for that model, although that seems unlikely.

Another commenter (u/bloodfart) wrote that the connector was a standard mini pcie connector; I can't confirm but that's plausible and would mean it's a lot more likely that an upgrade may be possible

One note of caution, it was really easy for an uninitiated repair person to sever the antenna wire from its connector when trying to disconnect or reconnect them, the cables are quite thin

Getting books from the library to read?

🤞I hope it's a good record🤞I hope it's a good record-- aw.

Honestly, I would recommend the audiobook over the book; having someone else figure out how to say the special names makes it much easier to keep track of them in your mind, I find

Picking a higher density of the material just means the one gram would occupy less volume, it doesn't affect how much energy that gram is equivalent to in terms of E=mc2. For that calculation, as the equation implies, only the mass matters; a gram of feathers is equivalent to the same amount of energy as a gram of lead for that equation. Now, this equation is in fact a simplified assumption; if you launch your feather at relativistic speed, then we're talking

It doesn't fit all the criteria you mentioned, but if you don't print that much and wanna try a dryer before buying anything, you can make a cardboard foil tent for your printer bed and use that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MflrcqNozqs

Oh I see; I knew they stopped supporting it after a while but I thought the official app was a descendent of that codebase

The comparison is even more apt when you remember that the official Reddit app also used to be the most popular and great 3rd-party app called AlienBlue, which was purchased from 1 guy and rebranded a decade ago.

It's pretty clear that the reason why the official Reddit app isn't good is because a good experience for their users isn't their goal.

In Canada, they typically pick one or two last names out of four for the kid. Some adults decide to go by just one of their last names too

There's a channel called Improbable Matter on YouTube created by a scientist formerly working on fusion with a super interesting series about fusion power https://www.youtube.com/@ImprobableMatter

I agree with you; I think it is indeed the absolute bare minimum they had to do but I also agree with xc2215x that it's a good move. They moved from -100 to -99 on my shithead-o-meter scale

I mean, Substack lit all the benefit of the doubt I had for them on fire with their previous response.

This new action doesn't restore that, but all things being equal, I do want nazi shitheads to be de-platformed and have their funding cut off.

I think one can both acknowledge that they finally did a move in the correct direction and still think that they suck overall

I like how it has really vague boundaries that are obviously approximate but then it pretends to do precise gerrymandering-type carveouts in the second map

Chickpea curry is made entirely with pantry items and is very delicious. You can throw in non-pantry items if you have them but they are not necessary

Spam musubi is a popular snack in Hawaii that's also entirely pantry food. I love spam but not everyone does; if you want pantry meals though chances are you would be okay with it.

Obviously canned soups are a good pantry meal source, no special recipe there

Flaked ham or tuna cans with Mayo & relish (or chopped celery if you have them) are delicious to eat on any type of crackers

That's what I can think of for now haha

It depends where you live; in Quebec it means "stop" unless it would be unsafe to do so

I find that this backfires sometimes because many people don't seem to have any hobbies.

In the context of an interviewer, I sometimes ask "can you teach me something cool about one of your interests in 5 min?" It's not the same context obviously but you learn a lot about a person quickly that way. Bonus point is, I learn cool stuff about new things I'm probably not familiar with haha

It's pretty weird to be basically shilling for brands in here but Nexcare bandages are superior to band-aids in pretty much every way; i agree that band-aids beat generic though
