A colleague gave me an old Macbook Pro 9.2, which was too slow even to open Safari or read emails...

After upgrading the ram from 4 to 16gb, changing the old HDD for a new SSD, installing #Fedora... I made a Zoom call while I had 20 tabs open on Firefox, with Nextcloud, Thunderbird, Telegram and Emacs open in the background.

But the thing that amazed me was the strange sense of #empowerment (?) I felt during the process.

@acallegaro There's something very satisfying about refurbing a 10 year old computer to be 100% useful. Reduce generating new ewaste is a big plus for me. My daily personal notebook is over 10 years old.
