does it rhyme/ big D with dell hell
The battery is shot. It's swollen and causing the case to spread apart.
you can run a laptop with it's battery removed and just with the power cable
I know.
I already removed the battery and the node is already back up and running.
Currently looking on eBay for a replacement battery.
My 2018 MacBook is “nearing” end of life. Screen went black (prolly loose connection) a few weeks ago, battery is dead, and case is a “bit” swollen (prolly battery).
I’m shopping for a replacement … but to run Linux for the “first” time. I’m taking the plunge. Suggestions?
system76 lemur laptop has thermal management issues. Not sure the rest of their machines.
tell me yall are just using old laptops on the floor of your offices
Yes. I have 3 "servers" that are all just Ubuntu server running on 3 laptops with lots of storage and RAM 🥹
Boy do I have (another) space heater for you if you want it :)
I used to have fack mounted servers and a rack and ups and rack mounted switch 🥹 This was many, many years ago. I've scaled down a lot.
It happens. I still have this equipment although I upgraded and was able to downsize physically, but an upgrade in performance! This rack was fun and cheap, I knew a guy in government auctions. Most of that equipment came from Alphabet agencies.
Ill have to list some of this old stuff soon. I think we are "fairly" close to each other if you know anyone that is interested :) I'd like to see it back in action.
It looks like mine. 😬
