That’s one sexy potato

Or, your boss is more checked out than you and legitimately, gives no shits

The ‘hippie speedball’

I just used the threaded metal inserts and seat them with the soldering iron to use orignal screws and have had great luck

Edit/ I should clarify that it’s been a few years since I’ve done one of these repairs and may not be the best option on a newer/slimmer model

I keep hearing how painful it is to get out. Can someone please elaborate on this?

I am not super tech savvy and was DEEP in the ecosystem but didn’t think it was hard by any stretch.

I migrated my data, purged my files, canceled my subscriptions in a few taps/clicks, sold our imacs, MacBook pros, homepods and iPhones and moved on with my life and haven’t looked back since. Took maybe an afternoon for the data piece and a few other after-the-fact logins to cancel things I forgot about. This is legit the 4th time in two days I’ve read this comment so I am just genuinely curious!
