I have a #MacBookPro from 2022. My previous MBP suffered from the keyboard marking the screen so this time I've kept using the Apple-provided protective sheet whenever it's closed. It's now in tatters. Any ideas on what should replace it?

I've been all over the place with trying different #distros on my ageing #macbookpro and its getting more and more difficult as kernels go beyond 6.14 (6.15 wont even launch!) Fedora 42 is really buggy, ditto Ubuntu with 4min launch time (what is it waiting for?) Thank goodness for #Debian , rock solid and fast... Looking forward to #Debian13 launch this week. Hopefully kernel 6.12 works without issues and that Gnome 48 has had all its bugs ironed out! @debian

How to connect 2 external screens to a MacBook Pro M1 from 2022?

My company and my client's company offer now both two big screens with dell dockingstation on each desk in their office, but this apple laptop supports only 1 external screen.

There are apparently some workarounds with software-side video drivers that I can test or special hardware available (special dockingstations that I cannot use in both offices).

Anyone here working with a pro M1? What is your solution for 2 external screens?

Thanks!

With a lot of great input from Stuart Henderson on the tech@ mailing list, I could finally find a quicker way to update #OpenBSD on my #intel #MacbookPro that suffers from an #ACPI regression and thus needs a custom kernel.

Here's the updated tutorial on patching the system, I added a guide on keeping it updated:

New MacBook Pro Arriving Today

I ordered a refurbished M4, which will replace my aging Mac Mini M1. Even though I mostly use it at my desk, I’ve learned that portability is a nice option. I’ve had good luck with refurbished Macs in the past so I hope this one works out well too.

Now I just need to make sure I’m around when the UPS guy shows up.

  • I thought the glare was excessive due to the lights, but then again I'm not gonna complain more about it. Noone expects you to have a fancy mattebox with turntable to make some professional product photo.

Also even if people don't have a donor to transplant a screen assembly from or don't feel comfortable fiddling with eDP cables they could just remove the screen and have a compact AiO Desktop.

  • If it has like a "full function" #USBc port with #PowerDelivery than this can result in a sleek desktop that also looks good and doesn't require much space. Ideal if the battery is busted and a replacement isn't worth it! I've seen those in like #RepairShops where they basically setup some #MacbookPro that way as a DFU machine to reflash / reinstall other #Macs.

I think it's a necessity that we as #TechLiterates propagate the need to #UseLonger and the #RightToRepair as essential, given that #tech inherently is expensive in terms of #resources and that avoiding #eWaste and #Upcycling is an act of #EnvoirmentalProtection.

  • Tho make shure to safely remove any "#DangerPillow|s" and handing it over to the relevant #recycling provider(s)...

If I had the necessary €€€€€ I'd literally start my own "#upcycling" #business, even employ some folks collecting all the #surplus'd #Windows10 machines and just cleaning, wiping, repasting, fixing and selling them as cheap #used #PC|s for those that kinda need something to do their casual "#office", #LightGaming and #MediaConsumption.

  • I mean people are surprised how zippy even old hardware can be with just few tweaks (more RAM, a fresh SSD, cleaning it of dust bunnies and repasting the cooler with some quality (longlife #ThermalPaste, like #ArcticMX4) "#ThermalGrease" (that costs like €1/g in a 20g syringe and a #RepairShop can easily go through one in a shift)...
MastodonNerdNextDoor :Blobhaj: (@mrmasterkeyboard@mastodon.social)@kkarhan@infosec.space Thank you for the comment! In person the screen is great for me, just unfortunate camera lighting angles. :p Ubuntu is something that I thought would suit this laptop, I wasn't wrong, it's blazing fast. The startup time is only more evidence to that. I would also get something like this as well if my budget was £100 and if I couldn't fix things. #Repair and #Reuse needs to be the default, I love repairing machines. Not all broken screens and dented machines are junk, people!!!
