...and they want to compete with the Steam Deck?
I get this a little bit too, like "oh god, did I just kick a hornet's nest?" but at the end of the day it's just people on a forum giving their takes while having a dump, if I say the wrong shit I'll stand corrected and otherwise if it's trolls, fuck em.
Didn't occur to me that it might be holding the monitor stand together. It definitely isn't first party, but it seems very well made so I'm guessing a quality third party thing. The steel is a good 4-5mm thick.
I'd be curious to take it off except now you've mentioned it might be holding it together I'm a little uncertain on that haha
Otherwise it seems like my question is mostly answered based on the lack of responses - it's not a common aftermarket thing and definitely wasn't an official Apple accessory.
Oh yep, in Australia we colloquially call it "the pits" as in "Gotta take the car to the pits" but I'd say the more universal term would be checking the vehicle's roadworthiness, or taking it for a roadworthy.
I recently bought this A1267 display from the recycled goods store, and I have absolutely no idea what this thing is on the stand.
My best guess is a mount, but it doesn't look like it would fit on my VESA mount. I tried to search up A1267 mount images but found nothing that matches this.
Similar boat for me, although I only played Java.
Started on 1.5.2 and was on that for ages as it was a cracked Portacraft instance going around by USB at school.
1.7.2 was the first update I ever had, when I finally got home broadband, and it felt like the biggest update had just landed. 1.7.x is always a soft spot for me, it's nice going back in those versions occasionally, getting to full endgame with farms, with that classic enchantment glint, being excited over dark oak, acacia, stained glass, hardened clay.
OP, I've been here before and walked this path - it's not one I advise anyone to take.
Minecraft and other video games are fun, especially with friends, but you have to have your priorities sorted first before indulgence. Do you want your degree, or do you want your degree? If you imagine yourself successful in 5 years time in the profession you're studying for, how bad do you want it?
Minecraft in class won't get you there, and will in fact hamper you. Unlike school, no one will stop you because the lecturers aren't paid to give a fuck about your success - they just lecture and it's on you to take notice.
My intention isn't to shame you, I just see myself 5 years ago in this image and while I bounced back, it was years of hard work on myself.
If you're finding yourself zoned out in lectures, you need to find study habits that work for you, and you have to be in the right headspace. You're very capable of completing this degree, you just have to do it.
Take your mental health seriously if you don't already, and work with student counsellors on study habits. They are paid to answer questions like "I feel zoned out in lectures, how do I keep engaged and not fall asleep to this guy?" and "How can I have a healthy balance of games and study?"
It's in this in between that, nostalgia aside, has no retro appeal like Alpha to Beta 1.7.3, but has a half borked experience system that requires 50 levels for a full enchantment, enchants use all levels of the requirement and not the top 3, no anvils to repair or combine tools, and your only experience sources are mobs. It suffers from stupidly large and boring oceans, and the nether and the end are pretty barebones.
I started around that era of Minecraft but I'd never go back.
Yes, while I have the MBA running macOS, I have my trusty X260 with Linux for everything I don't need macOS for. I absolutely love both the size and thickness of it - the keyboard is good, the nub is good, it's a comfortable, rugged laptop with a dual battery setup.
Ph1lza, the guy that lost his Minecraft hardcore world of 8(?) years.
I wish decently powerful small laptops would make a return. I dearly love my 11" MacBook Air and I'm still astounded I can even somewhat use it today for various research and office work, but it could seriously do with an M1 chip and 16GB of memory.
Hey, I'll take a 4 deep screenshot inception over some link straight to x[.]com
It's just the vibe of the.. thing
