How?

Just am, granted my app is basic JavaScript/Electron but yeah, I get these compulsions to buy old tech and use em. Like I bought 3 different ASUS Eee PC laptops and got pydantic ai to run on em with Python. It took hours to build the python wheels.

The 2008 MacBook has a weird smell, it has a new battery but yeah. thought it was perfume from the old owner but I guess it's a thing with these laptops.

I do have to use i3 though, Ubuntu's desktop freezes for a few seconds then continues on the Macbook.

Zooming a picture can crash the UI/make VS code go blank
