Understanding Laptop and MacBook Repair

When it comes to laptop repair and MacBook repair, the repair process can vary depending on the type and complexity of the issue.

Some common problems include:

Battery replacement for laptops that aren’t holding a charge.

Screen repairs for cracked or malfunctioning displays.

Hard drive failures, where the data becomes inaccessible or the system crashes.

Hey! Is it possible to play it using a Chromebook laptop? I'm having a lot of trouble trying to open the file. If not, that's totally fine! Thank you for creating this.

Hey there!

I actually didn't know so I had to look into it. For anyone one who isn't aware, Chromebooks are kinda more just devices to play Google apps, but in a laptop shape. So my first thought was "No, probably not"....

But after doing like a tiny bit of research it IS possible apparently, if you are up for some extra steps. It seems to involve installing an app called Wine that simulates Linux or something. I admittedly know nothing about it (and the only chromebook I could test with is my work computer) so you'd have to do your own little hackerman adventure. (You want to search ''how to run an .exe on Chromebook''.)

Alternatively, maybe this person here might be able to help you because they just did something similar for their steam deck.

One of the best parts about having a frankenstiens pc is that I can just upgrade a part whever something breaks.

One of the worst parts is trying to interface a whole lot of old and new jumbled tech bits and you bump a cord under your desk and all of a sudden I have to get under there tomorrow to do cable management troubleshooting to see if I need to buy a new monitor or 2 >:/

But whatever that's tomorrow-me's problem.

FYI, If you're watching things on streaming services (like The Legend of Vox Machina) and you can't screenshot or screenshare because it goes black, that's caused by hardware acceleration in your web browser and can be turned off.

This article details how to disable hardware acceleration in Discord and multiple web browsers. It's a very simple setting to just toggle.

Once you disable this, screenshotting will work just fine and you can have a screensharing watch party with your friends over Discord.

Also please switch to Firefox because chromium-based browsers including Chrome, Opera, Vivaldi, and Edge are getting increasingly hostile to user rights (in everything, but especially media playback). Firefox is the only browser out there focused on users over corporations.

Amazon will artificially lower the video quality to 1920 × 1080 on Firefox specifically because it blocks Amazon’s invasive video DRM. But that resolution is just fine, and fuck Amazon.

I have a ChromeOS (Chromebook, latest version, I think) - will I still be able to play? 💜

Short answer: Probably not :( Long answer: Maybe? You'd have to emulate linux on your chromebook and then get an app like wine to play the game. (we discussed it on this post a little in more detail). Sadly I haven't heard from anyone having done it yet. It's possible, on a technical level, I think. But sadly not that simple...

when people come to me at my job upset at their technology or feeling stupid because they don't understand it, honestly i just think about how i tend to freak out if my car, the thing i have to use to perform parts of my life that i don't otherwise enjoy or understand, does something weird that inhibits my use of it. and maybe i should learn more about cars so i won't feel that way, but my life is so many other things i don't feel like dedicating time and brainspace to it, i take it to a mechanic, or i ask my roommate who does know those things. this is exactly how it is for some people and their computers, no matter how important they become, literally just be decent to the person you go to for help, it's what their job/expertise exists for
