All the development kits, homebrew, libusb-type hacks etc maybe something is acting up. I’ve had this OS install since I bought it. Sometimes Spotify would even stop playing music, even when I didn’t even touch the machine. ![]() Until I got to a point where I couldn’t even send an e-mail without getting the hated macOS “Spinning Pinwheel Of Death” (SPOD). While the swap was relatively easy, and the computer worked okay, it got a little sluggish over time. ![]() Lo and behold, there was a whopping 960GB SSD (A Crucial ct960m500ssd1) inside. Recently, a friend gave me a defective MBP, which turned out to be the exact same model (A1286). I replaced the SSD again for a larger 512GB model (Crucial CT512MX100SSD1) when they became cheaper. Since purchasing, it’s had it’s memory upgraded, the hard drive replaced for an SSD and the optical drive swapped out with a hard drive. Apple replaced the logic board a few years ago (under warranty!) because of graphics issues. About 8 years ago, I bought a 15″ MacBook Pro, and it has served me well all this time. ![]() When a tool works, I like to keep it as long as possible.
