  1. Will lineage-OS 18 work on this tablet? Or am l forced to go for something older like version 17 or 16?
  2. I agree with Somerandomtechyboi. Pretty solid advice.
  3. Any normal router will do the job. I don't know too much about routers but Gaming routers are just marketing.
  4. Got an old Samsung galaxy 3 tablet. (SM-T210) I want to use it for drawing only and normal web browsing/YouTube. But if that's not possible, I'm happy with drawing only.
  5. Interesting. I use Chrome all the time. The thing is, I really hate safari so is their another web browser that has the features of chrome but also has the optimisation of safari? Maybe some extensions might fix the battery life as l watch a lot of YouTube and work on google docs.
  6. The thing is, I already did a clean install as l also installed a new ssd into the system. I'll try to install the original el Capitan.
  7. I don't see any app hogging resources and the battery from amazon seems legit enough unless its really not.
  8. Depends. If you want the extra cores go with amd but you be missing out on Thunderbolt 4 if that's important to you. I would personally go with the Amd configuration because of the extra cores, less money and don't care about thunderbolt 4.
  9. Correction: Battery lasts around 6 hours from 100% till 0% (I usually try to use it from 80%-20% which gives around 4 hours) looking at the battery level of last night which l still think is low for a new battery.
  10. MacBook air early 2015 11-inch battery was trash (1000) cycles Replaced the battery with this one https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00WSLYABY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 MacBook battery still trash lasting 6 hours even when l calibrated it. (100% - 0%) These are the steps l used to calibrate it: 1) Shutdown, plug in A/C power and wth the computer turned off, charge up to 100%, then keep charging for two more hours. 2) Reset the SMC (System Management Controller). 3) Boot up the computer and disable sleep mode in Energy Saver preferences. 4) Use the Activity Monitor Utility to set up a slow and steady power usage. 5) Unplug A/C power and leave the computer undisturbed until 0% battery turns off the computer. 6) Leave without power for 5 hours more to completely discharge. 7) Plug in A/C power - charge up to 100% and then for two hours, with the computer turned off, as before. 8) Unplug A/C power, and discharge the battery using the computer more normally but avoid any high energy apps or services. 9) Plug in A/C power - boot up, Reset Energy Saver settings if necessary, and use as normal. Macbook Battery lasts 6 hours with half brightness running Chrome YouTube videos. Not sure what else to try. Maybe l didn't do the process correctly? So I'll try it again.
