  • The news has been so terrible, and I read so many sad stories, it’s good to hear something positive. Very happy for you.

    Side topic, any plans to watch the Eras tour? It’s filling up my TikTok feed and looks like such a blast.

  • Yeah, don't bind yourself to a formal university education in which you have to fulfill requirements and place undue stress on yourself.

    Keep your job, and take whatever classes that interest you.

    If you're in the US: I've enjoyed community college classes more than D1 university classes because the professors have different goals. At community colleges the professors enjoy teaching. At D1 universities many professors are doing research and are required to teach on the side.

  • That sounds about right, now that you're jogging my memory. I have a 2007 a Sony laptop that I eventually wiped and installed Linux. Ran so much better than Windows.

    In 2017 I bought a Samsung Galaxy S8 smartphone, which ran circles around my laptop. Coupled with my laptop battery lasting about half an hour, I stopped using it.

    I just googled how to rebuild laptop batteries. It never occurred to me it could be done.

  • Back when smartphones had easily replaceable batteries, like the LG V10 I bought for my mom, I bought her a new battery after 3 years and it gave it new life.

    Now, 10 years is on a different time frame. Personally, I would gauge the price of a replacement battery against how much I paid for the laptop. 10% maybe? Completely arbitrary. $20 replacement battery for a $200 used laptop.
