   I've replaced many Mac keycaps. All the "chicklet" style, starting with the white plastic MacBooks, can be replaced. (I don't know about the silver MBPs keys before that.) I honestly don't remember when key cap sets

   JG Farrell's Empire Trilogy are my favorite fiction books, but as an American I've rarely ran into them except through foreign media, like the BBC World Service and RTÉ. They were republished by New York Review Books Classics, a

   Close. The bottom case is just a panel, not holding anything in, so removing it just gives access to the inside. Everything is attached to the top case, but some parts, like the display hinges and motherboard, are removable at the shop, whi

   The SSD is part of the motherboard for MBPs with Touch Bar, both 15- and 13-inch, and MacBooks. The 13-inch without the Touch Bar, internally a very different design, does still have a separate SSD.

   For any MacBook (Air/Pro) since they've been "unibody" (introduced in 2008), Apple's keyboard repair is (almost?) always a whole new "top case". More is moved than just the logic board — display, speakers,

    I am the same, but with the Mac command layout burned into my brain (and thumbs). My solution when I switched to Linux from Mac is to make the control key the one next to the space bar, like command is. Luckily it's super easy to swap

    I lack the knowledge to judge this on a technical level, although what do I know about Rust and Qt/KDE make me excited. But I can definitely say that's a great logo!

    > Linux it's OK-Cancel. KDE yes, but GNOME and most GTK+ desktops and apps are definitely Cancel/OK. Google used to be pretty mixed, but Android and the Material re-designed stuffs seems to be pretty much Cancel/OK too.
