You could setup a status monitoring system and then configured it to send out messages for critical alerts. For example, I’m using Vigil to monitor my services and it’s configured to send email alerts when something is down and then sms alerts when things are still down for too long (in case I didn’t read the email).

How can Apple got this wrong? Pretty much all meteorological data are sourced from the same set of weather forecasting data produced from running weather simulations on weather agencies supercomputers using satellites and ground observation data. The forecasting models will pretty much produce almost similar results when fed with the same data, which is why weather reports are usually pretty similar even though they’re produced by different weather agencies.

Does Apple actually run their own weather simulations here? Probably for their hyper local next-hour weather prediction feature? Or could it be that Apple is using some “AI” for their weather forecasting and the AI conjured some number out of its ass instead of running full physics simulation?

Man, I do miss those old dashboard widgets. Does this means we would get something similar back? If each space can have different widgets, that would be even better.

Oh shoot, I didn’t notice the retina part. On the flip side, the SSD is probably less likely to be water damaged.

Edit: looks like it’s a 2012 retina MBP, which means it has an SSD with property connectors. Check out this ifix guide on how to disassemble them and what enclosure you can use to mount the drive in another computer: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Retina+Display+Late+2012+SSD+Replacement/12823

Those 2012 MBPs are using standard 2.5" SATA drives, so you can use any USB3 SATA adapter that supports 2.5" drives. Remember, always use USB3 sata adapter. Somehow there are still USB 2.0 sata adapters sold online right now, probably for legacy stuff so be sure to not accidentally buy them.

The drive itself is usually formatted in APFS partition, so you’ll need to connect the drive to another mac in order to use. If it’s encrypted, the encryption key is probably stored in the apple account associated with the broken macbook.

Your main concern is probably whether the disk got water damage or not. If the disk is damaged and unreadable, you’ll probably can still recover it by paying a data recovery specialist in your area. They’re expensive but can literally revives the drive as long as the platters are not damaged.

Good luck!

I switched to Dvorak keyboard layout almost 10 years ago and it stopped the growing pain on my wrists. Might worth a try. No need to change your actual keyboard, just set your keyboard layout settings in your operating system to Dvorak.

I can only see new posts. It doesn’t retrieve older posts

This is normal. You’ll only receive new posts going forward from ActivityPub. Think of it like joining a mailing list, you’ll only receive new mails after subscribing. If you want to pull older post, you’ll have to do it manually by pasting the post (or comment) url in the search field.

Tried to search video collection in the internet archive and it looks like they don’t have too many videos from that time period. There is only one video tagged with MediaOnDemand there and it’s the internet broadcast of AMD K9 release: https://archive.org/search?query=creator%3A"MediaOnDemand"
