I actually didn't need to apply any heat to remove the glue holding the screen on! The bulging battery had separated almost three quarters of it by the time my replacement parts arrived. 😅
The pull tabs to unglue the battery from the chassis absolutely did not work as designed. I'm lucky #iFixIt has both a parts kit and repair instructions, otherwise I'd have been out of luck. 🗑️

When you are typing text on a computer, after every character entered there should be small period of time, say 0.5 seconds, in which it is not possible for another application to pop up a dialog that steals input focus.

Make everything else fucking wait until I have finished typing. I promise you there is nothing so urgent that I will be glad my focus was yanked away in the middle of a word.

Is it just me who finds the #OrdnanceSurvey #map #symbols for #SolarFarms dissatisfactory? Not only are they too literal and insufficiently simplified (note #church symbols)—I’d suggest a stylised #sun alone would suffice—but what really gets my goat is the symbols’ orientation, which implies that the sun shines from the north-west quarter of the #sky (which in the #Northern #Hemisphere it NEVER DOES!). #Saturday #morning #rant over! #BadDesign #Cartography #Maps #Symbology
