In some e-waste bin I found an entry level M1 MacBook Pro. The display didn’t work (visible crack lines on the panel and the screen lights up but only shows black), but everything else about the computer is totally fine, I determined after testing.

I managed to factory reset the thing and now I have an extra computer on my hands. And a good one, at that, because I think even an entry level M1 is still a good computer.

I already have a laptop, desktop, and an old server. So I feel like all my needs are met. But are there creative uses with an extra Mac?

    omg that’s so funny, I have a MacBook Pro with a broken screen.

    I feel kind of bad but it was too expensive to replace the screen. I got an external screen. It works, but it made the laptop not portable, so I repaired my brother’s old Chromebook and installed Linux on it.
