It felt natural to call it velcro because that’s how I’ve always heard it being called, but I didn’t know it’s a brand name. German has a proper noun for these, and I assumed velcro is the direct translation

So velcro straps kinda, gotcha 👍🏻


Can’t quite find what you’re describing but the labels look cute


How do I do that for longer cables? As you can see, the distance between the ports isn’t too long but the cables are. I don’t wanna break any of the cables by mistake. Any ideas?


Possibly. It’s what the technician suggested getting if I’m on a budget


The battery life isn’t amazing, but it never really was even when the laptop was younger. Maybe like a couple hours, likely less today


Now that would be pretty nice


I’ll get to seeding 8-)
I definitely see the value in documenting what I’m doing. What constitutes a documentation-worthy action to you? I feel like I could get lost in the sauce a little :D


Hooly. Considering the rising prices of drives, I’m not sure how feasible that will, sadly, considering I’m on a tight budget. Plus I’m not sure how easy it would be to connect the extra drives to the laptop. Got any ideas?


So I’d just ditch the battery and leave it plugged in, which it is regardless, to not strain the battery due to constant trickle charging?
I’d normally be fine doing that if the charging port wasn’t a little finicky at times when it comes to stable charging. I have to wiggle and twist the charger at times and if I move it, it’s not being charged again. Maybe I should just fix the charging point or switch it out - should be relatively cheap and easy
Uhhh, maybe? I don’t quite know what these mean tbh and where I’d want to input that command at the bottom
