It's a lovely sunny day, despite it all. And I have to get my Macbook to the shop, to save the kbd from spilt cola. See you on the flipside.

-
Once-over/repair pending, but shop guy sez there's no way to clean a kbd membrane, or order it separately from a battery. I call greedy bull
-
Dunno if miniaturization made it impossible to clean kbd membranes (besides throwaway mentality). In the 80-90s, we could clean them easily
-
Got 2 good j-yrs out of this MBP, bet it has at least 3x that more to give. Nary a scratch otherwise, ofc I had to DEX botch cola onto it
-
Judging by the MBP & my iPhone SE (both excellent), Apple makes sturdy devices, but I always worry I'll have to ditch instead of fixing them

Apple part replacement is as extortionate+hard to DIY as ever. I can buy 2 Lenovo laptops for the service price. Or do an epic repair quest
-
Apple gunks everything together in 13" Retina MBPs, will replace half the comp for a chipped nail. I caved, but going back to PCs after this

Smart decision would be to ditch the MacBook & buy a cheap/serviceable laptop. But it carried 2 yrs of reported.ly, it's part of the family
