Jody Bruchon

It's a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro 13-inch disassembly to put in fresh thermal grease. Pretty self-explanatory. You'll need a T7 Torx, a tri-wing screwdriver, and a #00 Philips.

This is a lightly edited remaster of a live stream from September 21, 2022 at midnight. I replaced the stream video with the camera's 4K recorded footage and used a barrel distortion effect to remove some of the warping from the fisheye lens. If you saw me post about that Panasonic 9mm f/1.7 lens I really want to buy...well, this is why I want it. That lens would produce this same angle of view but in far better quality and with no need for such extreme correction to make things not look so extremely warped.

We've spent far too long being lied to by the government, "authorities," and Big Tech. I'm sick of it. Unfortunately, the truth is not compliant with YouTube's Terms of Service, so this is a new-tech/alt-tech exclusive video.

This is a LONG video about a member of the Dell Inspiron 15-5000 series. Everything had to be disassembled and swapped to a whole new frame. This machine had to be fully disassembled (excluding the screen/lid) to replace the keyboard. There is a lot to like about this kind of laptop design, but the inability to do a keyboard replacement rather than an entire palmrest/frame replacement is not one of those things. 0:00 Intro 1:15 Unscrew bottom cover 2:14 Remove DVD drive/hidden screws 3:17 Pry off the bottom cover 4:55 Everything has to come out 5:41 Remove the motherboard 12:38 WARNING: hidden connectors 15:00 Battery, hard drive, USB board, etc. 18:24 LCD cable, power button board 20:43 Remove L/R speakers 21:42 Front indicator light board 23:18 Remove touchpad assemblies 25:22 Reassembly; touchpad install 33:05 Reinstall L/R speakers and wires 35:55 Battery install; backlight cable woes 38:25 Install hard drive/SSD assembly 39:24 Install power button board 40:40 Install USB board 42:24 Put LCD/lid assembly under frame 44:26 Feed LCD data cable through frame 45:30 Connect power button board 46:18 Place motherboard; check all cables 50:47 Keyboard backlight cable routing problems 55:20 Keyboard connector: check for removable film 57:10 Left hinge and wireless card 59:48 I HATE THIS BACKLIGHT CABLE 1:03:00 Cleaning dirty CPU fan and cover 1:03:55 Bottom cover & DVD drive screws 1:09:20 Cleaning the dirty LCD 1:11:16 All done!

I got banned from a Facebook group! Oh no, am I gonna go all butthurt boomer and cry about it on the internet? LOL, no. For some time now, I've been meaning to make a video about the cesspool of stupid that is the Star Trek Shitposting group on Facebook, and my ban from that group told me that it's time to go ahead and do it. This video explains what I said that got me banned, then opens to a broader discussion about the "social cancer" of showing up to a group, forum, or project, claiming to merely want inclusion in the group, "suggesting" changes to "make it more welcoming," and using those new rules to destroy it and oust the people who made it in the first place. The people behind this toxic behavior are known under many labels, the most common of which is social justice warriors (SJWs), but sometimes also "woke warriors" or even just "radical leftists." Urban Dictionary, the bastion of all things right and true in this society, defines "shitposting" as: "Any content on the internet whose humor derives from its surreal nature and/or its lack of clear context. Differs from a meme: whereas a meme's humor comes from its repeatability, a shitpost is funny simply because it isn't a predictable repetition of an existing form. Shitposts can become memes, but memes cannot become shitposts." Fun note: looking at this video after I shot it is how I discovered that my Sigma lens was damaged...
