Sanctuary Hills Build 1/2 - Player Home (Part 2 will be the rest of Sanctuary!)
The mod list is included below! :D
Exterior
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Living/Dining
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hallway, Bathroom and Upstairs Landing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Downstairs Bedrooms
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
MacCready and Duncan's Space
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So, this is about 95% complete...
Just some structural things to tie up and a few extra decorations (clearly, most of my love has gone into the living/dining and the MacCready boys!)
There is nothing left of the original house. I downloaded a mod that allows you to scrap the houses (with rebuilt precombines and SS2 compatibility!)
My theme was 'Homely Scraver' I tried to add elements of the original home and kept the lower level dimensions (I only scrapped the house after I had everything in place!)
Mod List and Tips!
If you want to download the mods I used, I've linked them all below!
I've also added in keyboard shortcuts I had no idea existed that skyrocketed my attention to detail (and considerably extended how long this took! haha!)
Mods I Used
Base Mods
Settlement Menu Manager (Needed for some of the packs to show up in the workshop menu) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24204?tab=files
Place Everywhere (Essential for overlapping walls, dense clutter, etc) https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9424
Sanctuary Deep Clen and Remodel (Needed to scrap Sanctuary player home! Also adds 2 new bridges, pre-war, and a scrappy repair!) https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/65561
Sim Settlements 2
Note: Probably not required. The base game build items and the other clutter mods would work, but SS2 is worth it! I did use the SS2 kit below for quite a few items, like the colored wood walls and such, plus decor.
Workshop Framework (Great mod, required for SS2, but also allows for exporting/importing Settelment layouts!)- https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/35004
Sim Settlements 2 - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/47976
Sim Settlements 2 Wasteland Reconstruction Kit - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/48960
Bethesda.net (Honestly, some of the best workshop packs! Just save to your library for easy access)
Creative Clutter (Hands down can't live without this mod!) - https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/3411824 (There's an update ahh!)
V's Community Art (Some really nice art, some from in-game!) - https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4335883
V's Scavver Art (I'm in love with this pack!) - https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4335878

V's Book Retexture (No more pristine gray books!) - https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4335888
Modular Kitchens: Updated (Snappable, clean, and worn variations, plus things to put on and in the fixtures!...like a frying pan with an omelet...immersion!) - https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4096569
Do It Yourself: Updated (An easy way to fill up shelves!) - https://mods.bethesda.net/en/fallout4/mod-detail/4129753
Nexus
OCDecorator (Mainly to snag and place Mac's wooden soldier!) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4270?tab=files

The most immersive Coffee Mod (Coffee machines!)- https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/19012
Snappy House Kit (I believe the staircase was the only thing used, but this mod includes repaired versions of Concord-style homes and so much more!) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11639
Scavver's Settlement Kit (Most of the wooden floors and walls!)- https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25515
cVc Dead Wasteland (All packs and all dependable! Some great clutter and Pre-fabs! Reorganises other mods to be included in the menus...such as display cases!) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/43818
Femshepping Minimalist Homewares (Great decor! I love Femshepping's stuff!) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/16316
CWSS Redux (Working bathroom furniture, with animations! - Also responsible for the "we aim to please, your aim will help" on the bathroom mirror, hah! Pair with advanced needs to add bathing requirements!...and yes, companions/npcs use them!) - https://www.dropbox.com/s/i3qi9s6yex2liyv/CWSS%20Redux%20v4.01.7z?dl=0
Fast Food (Adds a toaster, kettle, teapot, and bucket for fast, well food. Makes toast, and boiled water by simply tapping them!) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/68467
Old World Plaids (Lots of scrappy overhauls with plaids...Nate is Scottish...this is essential for storytelling, hah!) - https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/10769
Voiceapalooza Assortment (Adds cheese to the game, what else can I say?)- https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/71486
Keyboard Shortcuts for fine-tuned placements!
Num Pad
8 & 2 = up and down.
4 & 6 = left and right
7 & 8 = move at an anlge
1 & 3 = size down and size up
/ & * = Adjust movement speed
- & + = Adjust Rotation amount
num Lock & then hit 0 = Unlock inaccessible items in build mode. (Good for deleting shrubs or doors that can't be highlighted—be careful. This includes companions! Guess how I know, hah!)
I have also noticed 1 & 7 (If I remember right) turn off physics, so any items you can pick up become static and won't move around!)
Main Keyboard
, & . = Rotation
L-CTRL or R-Alt = Change rotation axis.
I used the placement and rotation axis keys a lot in this build! Mac and Duncan's room has the best examples. I used these shortcuts to make Mac's soldier sit in the little bin on his dresser, place the cushions, etc., on their beds, including hanging Mac's hat on the bedpost!

So my i key has been steadily dying, and just not typing i for extended periods of time, and then I noticed that the same thing has happened to the 8 key, and now the o key is double-typing o's, which is what the i key was doing before it died. So I took my computer to a repair place and they think they can get it fixed by Monday. In the meantime I was like, well, I'll just use my phone. I've been copying and pasting i for like almost a week now, how much worse can a couple days doing everything on my phone be?
After like a couple hours of intense frustration with trying to use certain poorly-designed mobile sites I remembered that my last job let me keep the macbook they gave me after I wiped it and it's been sitting in a drawer in my file cabinet since then. So I pulled it out, actually managed to get it to boot up again, installed some programs that I'm really surprised I hadn't installed yet, like Firefox, and for the first time in like, I don't know, at least a solid week and a half to two weeks, I have an actual working keyboard attached to an actual computer and I never realized what a privilege this is. This is like when my work shoes stopped constantly hurting my feet for the first time and I was like, there is a god. I might be religious again
So I thought, since I once again have the ability to write long posts without wanting to kill myself, I should go back to liveblogging the Traitor Baru Cormorant (which I've been neglecting, and I'm sorry). Of course, for that I need the Nook app. Is the Nook app available on the app store? Why yes, it is, but
Tumblr media
God damn it, Apple, I do not want to read books on a fucking Apple Watch. I want to read them on a computer. In fact, I do not have any interest in buying any additional Apple products. Go fuck yourselves
(And I had to google "how to take a screenshot on a Mac" in order to post this, because Macs are just so wonderfully intuitive like that)
Anyway, I don't know what the moral of the post is. I don't know how anyone can get by with no computer and just a phone. I hope they fix my computer, I don't want to be stuck with just a Mac. Fuck Apple. Why do they think anyone wants to read books on an Apple Watch?
I hope everyone else had a better Valentine's Day

MacBook Repair in Faridabad
MacBooks are some of the most popular and long-lasting laptops on the market. They are known for their durability and high-quality. However, they are not indestructible. Instead, in some ways it’s worse to damage a MacBook. While other laptops can be fixed or have their parts replaced, this is not so easy for MacBooks. It needs professional skills and experience. If you have experienced some issues with your MacBook, don't need to panic. MacBook Repair in Faridabad will provide you with some common issues that can happen to your Mac, and also offer you the solution to deal with it.
Issues that can prevent your MacBook from performing at its best:
Accidental drop: Damage from being dropped because of their all-metal unibody design. If a MacBook is dropped, it is very likely to become dented, which can permanently damage the computer. It could become severely dented, making it difficult to close the lid. The screen can crack, which would render the computer unusable. Internal components can get damaged, causing data loss or hardware failures. It could be damaged beyond repair, making it necessary to buy a new one.
Using low quality charger: It’s common for users to use third-party chargers for their MacBooks because they are so much cheaper than those sold by Apple. However, these cheap, knock-off chargers can end up damaging the MacBook. This is because original Apple chargers have many security features. Those features help protect the MacBook from problems like power surges.
Dust and dirt: Dust and dirt can significantly affect the performance of your MacBook. It can accumulate in the cooling vents, blocking airflow and clog the fan. This can lead to overheating. An overheated MacBook can affect the CPU and GPU, it can affect the performance issues. Overheating due to dust or dirt can lead to permanent damage to internal components, such as motherboard, battery or harddrive. If the dust get inside the keyboard it can affect its sensitivity and make it less responsive.
High temperature: High temperature can affect the health condition of MacBook. MacBooks are not designed to withstand such high temperatures, and this can lead to permanent damage, like a swollen battery, a warped screen, and in worse cases melted internal components.
Liquid spil: Many people damage their MacBook by spilling liquid on it because they weren’t being careful enough when handling liquids around their laptops. This is because lots of people aren’t aware that MacBooks are not water-resistant. If water seeps into the MacBook, it can short circuit and rust the internal components, rendering the MacBook unusable. To prevent damage from spilled liquids, you should be careful when handling liquids around your MacBook.
Harsh cleaning: MacBooks are made with an anodized aluminum chassis, which is a type of aluminum that has been treated to make it more durable and resistant to corrosion. However, this treatment can be damaged by harsh cleaning agents (like acetone, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, or abrasives) available as household cleaners. These agents can strip the anodized coating from the aluminum, leaving it susceptible to corrosion and other damage.
Accidental scratch: The MacBook has an aluminum body, which can get scratched quite easily compared to other laptops. Brushing the MacBook with a dry, rough cloth. Using a soft-bristled brush on it. Wearing a metallic wristwatch while typing. Placing it on a sharp or rough surface.
Excess pressure: Many users damage their MacBooks by putting heavy items, like books on them, or by sleeping beside them and unknowingly rolling onto the MacBook while they’re asleep. MacBooks are fragile computer and aren’t able to take such pressure, especially on a regular basis. From cracking the screen to damaging the hinges, there are a lot of possible consequences of exerting undue pressure on your MacBook.
A MacBook is durable, however, it can encounter with different issues. A few things can help you to take care of your favorite device, like a well-padded sleeve, a MagSafe pouch, hardshell cases, and screen protectors. These can get you started. But as you are already experiencing performance issues so it's better to go for MacBook Repair in Faridabad. It will guide you with the repair options. Choose the repair provider wisely according to his skills and experience.
Options to fix your damaged MacBook:
Apple Store: Go through the official Apple Store or visit any Authorized repair provider for technical services. Apple Stores and authorized repair providers have certified technicians who can identify the problems and repair your MacBook using genuine Apple parts. Log in to the Apple website to find the nearest Apple Store or authorized repair provider with positive reviews in your location.
Book an appointment at the Genius Bar or walk in for assistance. They will guide you with estimated costs and time needed for the repair.
Apple Retail Store: Apple Retail Stores are available in almost every city, Apple retail stores often offer services like technical support, workshops, and personalized setup assistance.
Third-Party Repair Shops: You can search in your location for a reputed third-party repair shop that has experience in repairing Apple products. Look for a shop that has good experience and specialization in repairing Apple products. Before visiting the shop check the reviews to ensure they are capable of repairing Apple products. Ask for the warranty for the repair, and the parts they would use, and inquire about the quality and the process.
Online Services: Mail-in repair service facilities are offered by some companies. You need to contact them through the mail. Need to provide them with the details about your MacBook and the problems that have happened. They will guide you and provide instructions on how to send your MacBook Repair. Choose a reputed service provider with good experience and positive feedback from the customers.
Independent Repair Provider: Skilled technicians with adequate knowledge to deal with Apple products can fix the MacBook properly.

But not sure about the quality of the service, and whether the parts they will use are genuine or not. It is better not to take any risk and compromise the durability of your Mac by contacting an inexperienced technician.
Choose a service provider with the help of customer reviews and testimonies. For getting  a high-quality service, communicate with an expert technician and mention the issues you are facing. Ask for the amount of repair. Also, mention which MacBook model you are using. It is important to check customer reviews and ask the service provider for a recommendation from his customer who has received the service. Ask for the cost of the repair depending on the type of damage. It is important to use genuine Apple parts to ensure the safety of your MacBook. Ask for the estimated time.
A trustworthy repair provider can provide you with the service regarding MacBook Repair in Faridabad. They can offer online customer support for a prompt response to your query and also provide pick-up and drop services.

Linux Life Episode 82
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hello ladies and gentlemen. Yes the return of the Linux blog written by me. don’t know whether that’s a good thing but here we are.
I admit its been a long time since my last episode that’s because I went an absolute age without Linux in any machines for quite a while. In the last episode I admitted I had just installed EndeavourOS Cassini Nova R2 (Arch-based) in my Dell i7 laptop (Mangelwurzel)
Now I have been running it for several months and I admit continues to work well. I admit i am not trying to play Windows games on it as the Quadro K3100 is not supported buy the current Nvidia drivers. However running just the nouveau drivers allows me to do anything else providing you don’t need Vulkan.
Which I only use Vulkan when I was using Lutris to play games such as Path of Exile. That can’t be done with the nouveau driver. Apparently there is a version of the Nouveau setup called NVK coming which will allow Vulkan to work but as of yet its in very early beta stages and my card is not even on the list for support just yet.
Mind you considering the guy who maintained Nouveau for the last 10 years has just left the Linux industry I don’t know when any new updates to the nouveau project will even be. I assume its a team of people I doubt one man alone is writing such.
However I have been using EndeavourOS as my daily driver and it has been no problems whatsoever. Even the internet which used to keep dropping out they seem to be using a broadcom wl driver that works fine and is updated and moved every time the kernel gets updated.
So to be honest it can web browse, I can do email, word process, emulate stuff, even video edit and more if I felt like it so to be honest at the moment I can’t complain regarding how well it is working.
As for playing modern Windows games well I don’t really do that any more so not going to lose much sleep there. To be honest when I had my i7 desktop with the Nvidia 1030 I only did it to prove it worked. Sadly that machine is long gone.
So as Mangelwurzel is working well and I have no major complaints what else have I be doing in the meantime.
Well I had been using an Apple iBook G4 to start writing a book as it was a lot less distracting of a machine. However the guy who attempted repair it before I rescued it made a right hash and removed most of the screws in the machine.
So the hard drive would move on a regular basis if you moved it across the desk. Sometimes it wouldn’t start until you reconnected the pins which had moved a fraction of a millimetre.
So I had to lift the keyboard panel regularly. All was fine until one day the keyboard came undone then I had to put it back in. It was a fiddle. Then the power connector on the board came out of its socket.
I managed to get everything back in or so I thought. But moving the keyboard had now unseated the wireless card. I struggled to get that back in but when I put it back together the power connector came out but this time it took the actual socket connector with it from the board.
Guess what now the machine won’t power up. So I took out the hard drive and the iBook G4 is now dead as the connector is tiny and will require soldering I know I am not capable of.
Obviously I was not amused by this but I did happen to have a USB 2.0 to IDE adaptor which has a side for 2.5” drives.
So I connected the drive up to Mangelwurzel and using qemu-img which is one of the tools of QEMU. I set about copying the image to my i7 hard drive. I had enough space as it was only an 80Gb HDD (Yes my Hard drive was called Braeburn it’s an Apple) and I had 150GB space on the SSD.
When I did it I really didn’t think it would work. It sat there doing nothing at the command line. No percentage meter no nothing but when I looked at the file in caja it was going up slowly so I left it to get on with it.
Four and a half hours later the files had copied to the hard drive and it was done.
OK so now I had this copy of this hard drive but no Mac OS X to run it on. So using QEMU (a Level 1 VM hypervisor) basically it can create a virtual G4 machine and run Mac OS X 10.4.11 which was on the old hard drive.
It took a few attempts at getting the right QEMU commands but sure enough I managed to get QEMU running Mac OS X using the image of the hard drive i had made. It can connect to the internet and run everything i had installed including the Mac OS 9 Classic stuff on there.
I was impressed and because it was a direct conversion I didn’t have to change passwords or anything as it was the ones from the hard drive.
Amazing stuff I had saved the drive and its contents and it was usable. However QEMU unless you use it a certain way doesn’t supply sound for G4 emulation in the basic version.
Nope for that you need the Screamer version luckily there is a QEMU Screamer build in the AUR but it’s not as recent as QEMU standard.
So after a bit of fighting with QEMU commands as sound is a bit odd the way they do it. So I now have two boot scripts one without sound and one with.
Sound sort of works it crackles and slows things down a little but it does work. Its not perfect but considering its an i7 on Linux running Mac OS X 10.4.11 as a G4 using my hard drive image.
That in itself is quite amazing I can’t complain.
Having just completed that I was given a Raspberry Pi 4B (2 GB model) to play with. Now I have played with Pi machines before.
Last time I was messing around with a Pi 3B and a Pi 4B (4GB Model) and I remember playing with thongs like Twister OS, RiscOS, and having to build a micro SD a certain way to get EndeavourOS to work.
However I had to give them back to their owner so it has been a while since I have played with a Raspberry Pi.
So now I have the current 2GB model which obviously is a not got as much memory since the last Pi 4B I used.
Well I knew who owned it last so I had to set up a new download of the OS. If anyone is aware that the Raspberry Pi Foundation has announced to new Pi 5 which is twice as fast as the 4B apparently.
As I don’t have one for testing I can’t say and the likelihood of me getting one any time soon is probably none existent.
However they have updated the Raspbian OS to the latest Debian (Bookworm) which does work with the Pi 4B
I got it down and wrote it to the Micro SD all nice and ready.
Now comes the fun bit. i don’t own a monitor or TV with a HDMI port so now i had to figure how to connect it to the only monitor I still have which an old Belinea 22” monitor (which works fine considering its age).
The previous time i was using a Dell 19” monitor but it had a DVI connection so I had this HDMI to DVI lead which I knew worked as I had used it when I last used the Pi I used previously. Unfortunately the Belinea is VGA connection only… problem.
Also the connection lead I used last time to link the two HDMI leads I had to return so I had to buy a coupling link to connect the two leads together. So as I was buying leads I decided to buy a connector lead which now had a Female DVI to Male VGA creating on hell of a stupid Frankenstein type lead
So the lead is now Micro HDMI to HDMI - Coupling link - HDMI to DVI Male - DVI Female to Male VGA. Strangely enough this stupid lead didn’t work.
After a lot of failing I ordered a Female HDMI to Male VGA adapter making the cable be much shorter and it actually works. Tada… however don’t ask me to remove the adapter from the monitor as it was a bitch to screw in and I am not taking it off in any hurry.
OK now I have a working screen connection lets test some software.
New RaspianOS being a recent version of Debian (Bookworm) it is using Wayland as a compositor rather than the old X11 setup. which I am sure on the Pi 5 works wonderfully or an 8GB Pi 4B. On the 2Gb model it works but runs like treacle.
So slow it was painful to watch. After about a hour of faffing I gave up and reinserted the MicroSD to my i7 and installed EndeavourOS which strangely enough is based on the same Cassini Nova R2 build as the i7 but ARM.
I set it to run and it kept dropping out due to not being able to find a mirror. Quick edit to use the London mirror which was hashed out once put back in the installer worked.
Now lets be straight here it was not fast and jumped in stages so many a time I thought it had given up for it to suddenly jump to the next stage. It took about 3 attempts but now I have a working edition of EndeavourOS working on the Pi4.
It still uses X11 instead of Wayland but it seems to work fine. It is never going to win Olympic medals as the 2GB model is the inferior one. However I was able to watch YouTube admittedly at 360p and 480p respectively but it works fine.
The ironic factor is the Micro SD is 16Gb then i found an unused 32Gb one but I am damned if I am going through that again in a hurry. Basically when it installs it extends to ensure the full space is used meaning I would have more space for installing programs etc.. Oh well I may get around to it but not for a little while.
So far I have installed Libre Office and Focuswriter. I installed a few emulators after all isn’t that what the Pi is famous for…
Well lets say Dosbox I ran MAME 0.37b5 with full romset as I have them and running Mr Do. not an immensely taxing ROM it achieved 3.57 frames per second and was rather choppy
At that point I tried installing a few things only to discover they were not available for the aarch64 version such as Hedgewars or TuxRacer.
I didn’t try TwisterOS as it looks like it hasn’t updated since I last looked at it neither has RiscOS.
So EndeavourOS is now working on both my i7 and the Pi 4B. It seems Debian just doesn’t like me.
Off to find an arcade image to stick on that 32GB Micro SD but I will report on that next time as I think this has gone on long enough.
Until next time when ever that may be… Take care.

Stressed Computer Anon:
Hi friend!
You’ve actually given me the idea for a very helpful book I want to write but it’s pretty clear you’re not going to be okay waiting that long so here’s a very, very basic primer for people in similar situations
SO YOU THINK YOU’RE BEING CYBERSTALKED
If you’re worried about being tracked online by people who have somehow accessed your computer or phone and/or you’re worried about your computer being taken over FEAR NOT! This is VERY fixable!
So the thing is the only way that people can track you like this is by having some kind of network access to your devices. I can’t track your cellphone if it isn’t connected to the cell network (at least not without a pretty serious amount of legwork and a warrant) and I can’t track your computer if it’s not connected to the internet.
The absolute easiest, fastest, most guaranteed way to fix this problem is by disconnecting all your devices. I know that doesn’t seem great because what’s the point of having the devices if they’re not going to be connected, but don’t worry you’ll get this settled and get back online eventually.
What you are going to do FIRST is get on a device that you’ve never used before, get on a computer or phone network you’ve never used before, and you’re going to change your passwords. While you’re at it you may want to get yourself set up with a password manager. Here’s a step by step of the ideal way this would work:
Go to someplace with public-ish computers where you can use the computers for a while (school or public library works well)
Open up a private session of whatever browser is installed on that computer
Create a protonmail email account
Log in to each of your online accounts, change the recovery email to the protonmail account, and reset the passwords
(do the rest of the stuff that i’m going to tell you about)
Install a password manager AFTER you’ve sanitized your network and change all your passwords AGAIN using the password manager generated passwords.
Once you have reset all your passwords (steps 1-3) it is time to sanitize your network and your extant devices.
Start by doing a backup of your phone and your computer. This is a FILE BACKUP ONLY, you DO NOT want to restore from backup.
Make sure you’ve got the manufacturer installation discs and activation keys for any software that you have on your computer (or the online equivalent - you don’t use a disc to install MS office these days, you use a Microsoft account and you should have already changed your password for that) because you are going to have to REINSTALL your computer. This means you ALSO need an installation disc for your operating system.
Connect to your router and change the password, select the most secure security settings you router allows.
Reinstall your operating system on your computer and factory reset your phone (make sure you’ve written down all your contacts and saved all the files on your computer or phone to an external device because you will lose them with the reset/reinstall).
(Windows, Mac, Android, iOS)
Make sure that the only things you plug into your computer are things you’ve purchased - remove all wireless dongles for mice or keyboards, make sure the chargers for your phones are all ones that you’ve purchased and not any that were given to you, and only plug stuff back in if you’re 100% sure you know what it goes to.
AFTER REINSTALL/RESET TURN OFF ALL THE WEIRD WIRELESS CONNECTIONS YOUR PHONE AND COMPUTER MAKE. Turn off bluetooth, turn off network discoverability, turn off anything that lets shit talk to your computer or phone.
(This will break/disable things like smart speakers, activity trackers, and a bunch of other IoT tech. If you’re paranoid enough to be doing all of this stuff you should NOT be using those things anyway)
Once you’ve reinstalled your OS on your computer go online and set yourself up with a VPN. If you are feeling EXCEPTIONALLY paranoid you can do this using a mobile hotspot instead of your internet connection. Also if you are feeling exceptionally paranoid you can encrypt your devices.
Now that your traffic is encrypted go back into your router settings and reset your password again. You may want to consider purchasing a better/more secure router or one that has an included VPN (from that list I like the Synology router).
Since at this point your computer should be pretty much completely taken care of you can follow the steps in my other post on the issue to secure your phone.
At this point if you connect to the internet through a secured router and a vpn, and if you are using a VPN on the phone and don’t have any weird mystery apps installed and have shut down app permissions, and if you’re doing all of that carefully and well and you’ve changed all your passwords a couple times, nobody should reasonably be able to snoop your traffic.
That isn’t to say I’d consider this setup safe to plot against the government or anything or to prevent a subpoena to your wireless provider if someone filed one, but for the average weirdo on the internet who wants to creep on your traffic you’ve pretty much locked them out.
After that be careful about what you post online (because a SHOCKING amount of what people think has come from someone spying on their network is actually just stuff that’s reasonably extrapolated from your socials) and if someone approaches you in person about your online activities don’t be alone with that person and publicly challenge them about what they’re saying (maybe take a video of them and post that online). Also do not allow other people physical access to your phone, computer, or router.
Based on the descriptions you’ve given me in your asks it seems reasonably possible that you’re experiencing some upsetting coincidences and that nothing is happening, but there’s also a possibility that someone is remotely accessing your computer. If so, doing everything that I’ve described will close off their access.
If you continue to have these upsetting experiences after going through all of these steps I’d say to have a conversation with a reasonable friend and get a reality check. Unfortunately people are often very scared of computers and because they don’t understand them sometimes innocuous things can be upsetting.
There have been several people who have visited our hacker meetups over the years to beg us to stop the hackers attacking them when there is nobody attacking them or they’ve got things set up in such a way that it would be impossible to do what they think is happening. Fixating on the belief that you’re being attacked and tracked can be very upsetting and can make you more likely to misinterpret nonthreatening happenstance as a cohesive and intentional plan.
I’m not saying that’s what’s happening to you, your circumstance is in a gray area where I don’t want to tell you that someone is watching you and you should be paranoid because that’s not what it sounds like, but the things you’re describing reasonably COULD be because of intruders on your computer so there’s no harm in hardening your network. HOWEVER if you DO harden your network and that doesn’t make you feel any better it’s time to ask for some assistance from people in your life.
IN GENERAL to avoid having people remotely access your computer you should:
Make sure that you are very cautious about what programs you install
Do not open unexpected email attachments and do not click on mystery links
Use unique passwords across your accounts
Do not allow people physical access to your devices
Use encryption on your web traffic through a VPN or a secured router
Do not grant people permission to access your computer or allow people to talk you through the process of setting up access for them (so if someone calls from “microsoft” and says they need access to your computer to fix it just hang up)
Use a strong antivirus program
And in general if you think that something FUCKING WEIRD is going on with your computer you should
document every instance of it being fucking weird
take a photo or video of the fucking weird thing on your phone
think about what someone has to gain by accessing your system
think about the ways that someone could plausibly access your system
check in with someone who knows more about computers than you do (like me - this is the right thing to do! and similarly the people who come to the hacker meetups are doing the right thing! But it’s important to listen to these folks and learn from the conversation instead of dismissing the information they give you - that “what do they gain” question applies here too. I have nothing to gain by misleading you, so it’s very unlikely that I’m lying to you)
And in your life in general:
If you’re scared about something you should ask questions and learn more. Everything is much less scary when you know how to fix it or are able to identify the source of a problem. This is true for computers, it’s true for auto repair, it’s true for plumbing.
So I’m really glad you asked, and good luck. I hope this helps.

Factors to consider when finding the best address for MacBook repairs
No matter how good your laptop or MacBook was when you first got it, it can become that slowly over time. You would have get issues like files open slowly, the internet seems to take long periods to load and with every new page that you want to open with your browser, it completely freezes. Obviously, no one wants to wait for that. So, when it comes to repairing your laptop or MacBook, choosing a good computer repair service can make or break the deal. In this article, you can get some key factors which you should consider when you’re on the hunt for a precise computer repair service for you.
Tumblr media
Laptops are a particular device where all the parts are compact and attached into a really tight space. The major issue is that some modules are made to fit only one specific machine. While the external keyboard and mouse etc. are the components you can replace for a few dollars of a desktop computer. If your laptop or MacBook has broken, or won't start or facing other issues, no worries, just make a reservation at your local store or you can book a Mac Book repair service or Laptop reparaties online.
Once your MacBook develops a defect and of course it needs to be resolved as quickly as possible.
Know about the Existence of Company
Before you hand over your MacBook to a repair agency, make sure to check its market existence and reputation in those areas. Consider how long they have been in the Laptop reparaties service. The longer the period, the more proficient their service tends to be. It also represents the company’s past actions in the segment and its strong portfolio. Also, you should have researched their growth over the recent years.
The reputation of that Repair agency
Once you’re convinced of their experience and expertise, ensure if they’ve well-handled their customers. No better technique to confirm this than looking into their reputation, online as well as offline. You just visit through the online reviews and testimonials from its previous customers. Recognize their level of customer satisfaction and the quality laptop/ MacBook reparaties they are capable to render. You can take suggestions with your friends, neighbours or colleagues if they have ever dealt with that particular company. Their feedback is crucial to get additional information into their service quality.
If possible, visit their physical store or call their customer help center. Have a good conversation with the staff personally about your laptop repairs to realize their skills, knowledge, and expertise.

New MacBook Pro keyboard is very often broken
New MacBook Pro keyboard is very often broken be it at salesforce, google, stanford university, plug and play or ibm - practically most employees use the latest generation of macs, only a few use older macs (and you hardly see windows machines). I no longer buy a MacBook. It was my ex MacBook Pro, unfortunately I don't like it. Then it works with the keyboard. Exactly because of such, but also other problems, I have not struck at the MBP 2016 so far. Stay with my cucumber from 2008 if nothing improves. I also have the problem with the u key. Blow out afterwards in the Apple Store. Apple may look nice and have a good hardware / software interaction, but the keyboards are really just junk. I have a Surface Book 2 myself and it is wonderful to write with. Mac is now only expensive and the best quality is no longer. Let's say overpriced !!! Too exaggeratedly expensive. Due to the small distance between the keys and the keyboard bed, even small amounts of dust in the keyboard can make it difficult or even impossible to press keys. Apple initially advised users to use compressed air spray to remove the dust, which can work in some cases. However, the manufacturer has now admitted a design flaw and started a repair program. You can find out here whether your MacBook falls under this program. With me 4 keyboards were exchanged within a good 2 years.
If you don't have the problem yourself, you're quick to "trivialize" it, that's my experience. You can also carefully remove and remove stubborn dirt with a toothpick.
Of course you can simply pull the keyboard off with a desktop Mac, but this is not possible on any laptop in the MacBook line. / li>
Otherwise, you can turn the keyboard over and tap the table lightly.

My passwords were always transferred to the new devices and I could simply open the notes. Meanwhile dust cleaning mud review I had to get my Macbook Pro Set up Retina 2015 early with High Sierra and iPhone 6s with IOS 11.2.5. Note yesterday that the clips are on the left and the hooks on the right. Therefore, first raise the buttons on the left. Too bad, because Apple keyboards used to be great typewriters. Definitely my last Apple notebook. Apple notes that if this approach resolves your problems, you can contact your local Apple store or AASP. All you need is some compressed air and a little bit of time.

keys stuck on Mac
keys stuck on Mac? If these compressed air cans are held at an angle, then this fog comes out. That's why Apple even wrote in the support document that you shouldn't hold the can at an angle. Unfortunately, not all buttons work 100% because there is probably still liquid under the butterfly. The butterfly is difficult to remove without damaging it. Soft cloth - I recommend you find one made of microfiber or, if you want, one made of suede or deerskin. Before you clean the Mac keyboard, you absolutely need to get everything you need to complete the steps I will describe shortly. I have been taking 70% isopropanol for everything for many years. I buy a 5l canister with 100% isopropanol every few years and then dilute it with distilled water. Went well, but now and then a hint of "liquid" penetrated the keyboard. The Macbook can be cleaned really well with the "Uni-Cleaner 1032" from Brillux. You are using an outdated browser. This may not be able to display this or other websites correctly. If you are unsure, take the device to an Apple Repair Shop. The butterfly buttons are extremely sensitive and can be damaged. Once you have disconnected your device from the mains, you can start cleaning the keyboard. To remove coarse dirt or crumbs, you should first tip the keyboard over the waste paper basket and shake it gently. Then spray the compressed air from left to right over the keyboard or just over the affected keys. Contrary to the opinion of many, the keys of Apple keyboards can also be removed and cleaned with no special tools. This applies to both the keys of the wireless keyboard and the keys of the corded version.
Contrary to the opinion of many, the keys on Apple keyboards can also be removed and cleaned with no special tools.
Use a dish towel to dry.
I buy a 5l canister with 100% isopropanol every few years and then dilute it with distilled water.
Ideally, you should also remove the battery from the laptop, especially if you are handling cleaning agents. So I grab the keyboard, separate it from the iMac, and rubbeldiekatz I try to wipe my fat fingers with a handkerchief. No way. It doesn't work that way. If you are not confident enough to remove the individual buttons or if you have a model where this is not technically possible, you can use a USB suction device. These usually do not cost much and are designed for keyboard cleaning. The suction power is reduced - and the result is usually only superficial. First you have to carefully remove the buttons from their holder. It is best to use a sharp but blunt object such as a pen or a screwdriver. My own experience shows that glass cleaners always went well. Supposedly, this should attack the display. I want to avoid that with my new book. However, the manufacturer has now admitted a design flaw and started a repair program. You can find out here whether your MacBook falls under this program.

Clean MacBook Pro Keyboard
Clean MacBook Pro Keyboard If only one key is exchanged, people (especially those who don't concern it) prefer to have the entire book exchanged. With these devices, Apple is also targeting real “pro” users, ie users who have really high demands on performance, function and quality. Apple has been using a new keyboard in its MacBook Pro models since 2015, and user reports of defective keys have increased since the switch. The 2017 model of the MacBook Pro also uses the new butterfly mechanism, but has been slightly adapted. If you are dependent on a device, it is imperative to secure yourself beforehand in the form of maintenance contracts and replacement devices. That goes without saying in the IT world. So I've never had any problems and use the keyboard for several hours a day, four days a week. I also don't know anyone who has this problem dust cleaning mud reviews a > I hate. What I meant by the impending additional costs are cases in which you bought a used Macbook with a butterfly keyboard.
Now we come to the fans of the MacBook.
Exactly from a tech journalist who gets such products cheaper and usually writes very good reports, I actually expect that he will buy such a thing and test it extensively.
I was able to sell my old MB (15 ", 6 years old) on Ricardo for 600.-, for this reason alone I will remain loyal to Apple.
In addition, individual keys can sometimes not be repaired at all - the entire keyboard including trackpad and housing must be replaced.
However, you have to be very careful here, because the fan is a complex component with filigree blades.
First the two clips at the top have to be released, then in the second step the button at the bottom can be carefully removed from the hook. First one side, then the second. You already have the button cap in your hand. Reports on the Internet describe that the butterfly keyboards of the MacBooks cannot be repaired and the entire keyboard has to be replaced. In practice, I can't really get used to the "hard" attack. Despite long typing attempts, the strange typing feel does not go away and I lack the smooth precision of the conventional keyboard. Indeed, they offer that. He also came the first two times, but if he can't solve the problem, the on-site service unfortunately doesn't do much. The most important problem is not even mentioned. It locks the Mac keyboard and rejects all inputs (apart from the quit command) so that when you swipe you can press as many keys as necessary and clean the keyboard. Once you're done, exit the app. Simple.
