Close up of the opened up laptop: the hinge is now fastened with two pieces of metal wire running through it. The wires are fastened by twisting them together.

   I macgyvered the hinge of a free, old laptop. It was free because the hinge was ripped loose.

   It was wet outside yesterday, so I made do with what I had at hand because I didn't feel like getting wet riding to the hardware store.

   So now I have a nice 10th gen Intel laptop running EndeavourOS Linux.
