Not likely enough surface area for cyanoacrylate to do its magic, though one could try to glue the key pieces together and hope it holds long enough for a partial pull. Likely to just glue the broken piece in there by accident.

Hot glue is gooey and will grab the broken part.

?! Have you seen a M4 chip in action? Low energy, high performance. Silent computers, long battery life. Good value on a simple benchmark basis. Not credibly last year tech.

Pre-ARM Macs, sure, but that was five years ago.

Lots of other hardware issues to complain about, however.

A 2012 11" MacBook Air will run ZorinOS nicely and is truly tiny but very usable. Any Air made between 2012-17, really, but the 11" is SMALL.

I knew kids in high school who tortured gophers, and who knows what else, for the stimulus. Kind of dead inside; in retrospect, badly sociopathic, but without coping techniques or charisma.

Generally, Safari was kind of middling in function and design until around 2018, when it got more streamlined or something; at least, its apparent performance improved over the other browsers on macOS. It was novel on Windows but pretty limited and just, meh.

Edit: I forgot, the clean, minimalist, ad free reader view on the windows version was very nice to have. Long time ago!

Yeah around here in Cascadia we just call it “the dark waters of imperialism”.

Mom was a trucker, and though the demographic is skewed, they come in a variety of viewpoints.

Atari 520ST with the monochrome monitor. Motorola 68000 I think. 1986.

I was a student and paid for the computer plus most of my tuition by typesetting essays using a word processor named Paper Clip. Started a bad habit of independent geeky gig work because of it.

Boyle uses low budget guerilla film techniques for feature films sometimes. 28 Days was the first feature shot on consumer tape cameras, Canon X1 I think, and they compensated by using a lot of them at once.

Most expensive scene was an empty bridge in London at 5:30AM, IIRC, and they only had a few minutes to pull it off. Lots of cheap cameras gives you options, if you can work with resolution and lens and colourspace issues.

They don’t understand that we mean it like “Yanqui”, as in, imperialists.
