You could easily upgrade macOS using https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Legacy-Patcher/MODELS.ht....

On the hardware side, you could open it up, clean the fan, re-apply thermal paste (after so many years, this will make a big difference) and maybe even upgrade the SSD if you feel like it.

That way, this laptop can easily survive another 1-3 years depending on your use-cases.


Interesting, thanks for the link

I actually ended up pulling the trigger on the base model 14 inch that was announced today, but I'll probably still keep this laptop around as a tinkering device in the future. If not only because it's still fairly capable, but I've got some good nostalgia for it!

To be fair i grew up thinking bill gates owned skype


Your belief about Skype being owned by Bill Gates is kinda factually true. Not necessarily Bill Gates himself, but Microsoft acquired Skype back in 2011.


Microsoft does own Skype now, so in a way he does.


That might have been true depending on your age.

I am the same, but i default to !sp (startpage.com) first.

They claim:

> You can’t beat Google when it comes to online search. So we’re paying them to use their brilliant search results in order to remove all trackers and logs. [...]


you do know that startpage.com "is now owned by an ad company" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21371577


You say this as Google isn't an ad company x).

But yes, i know. I still use it, because i trust those guys to have a good-enough judgement on this. https://blog.privacytools.io/relisting-startpage/

Maybe they're not perfect, but i'm convinced they are a hell lot better than submitting my data to Google. ;)
