   if you ever wished you could snuggle a computer, i've got you covered. my MacBook Pro has built-in pillows, and they decided to fluff up the other day.

     i never removed the bottom lid of a MacBook and had it go "boing" before. the whole case was warped and as each screw got undone, the lid bounced up.

     i'm wondering how much it would cost to pay for a battery replacement. the iFixIt guide for DIYing it was very long and full of warnings, so i'm thinking "expensive" and not worth it.

     this is still sitting in my house. and it actually powers up just fine. the batteries appear to have fluffed up slowly over time. i have no idea how long they've been that way. the reason i haven't thrown it out is because i need it to extract files from an APFS drive. you don't usually have extra Macs sitting around just for fun, unless you're obscenely rich.
