m_d_hI established what sorts of things I could and couldn't do with the barely functioning old laptop (nevertheless, better than the non-functional old laptop it had been before my software hacking) -- it will come in handy when I have Time to Self at the house, basically as an extra porn display. I think if I'm going to fix the hardware problem, I will try doing it myself first. But I'm not ready to schedule that yet, and I want to pop the hood on the laptop to see the insides before I spend $260 on a replacement logic board.

Meanwhile, as I'm on this tech OCD trip, I decided to fully reprogram the Nest (thermostat) at the house. This caused some distress for T, who has typically been in charge of the Nest. But I said I'd intended to sit down with him and go over my plans, after I'd snooped around with all the settings.
I've radically simplified the operation of the Nest, and I've rebalanced which vents are open throughout the house, and T approved of my changes after I explained them to him.

I have these two old iPads, one is so old it doesn't update anymore and barely works. I've turned this oldest one into a beautiful clock using an ancient app that doesn't even exist anymore.
I'm on a roll!
