Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

Spent an hour or two replacing a battery into a ~7 year old Chromebook - ASUS C302CA. This has been my daily interface to the Internet and has done, and is still doing, such a great job that a $75 upgrade to a new battery seemed like a good bet.

Have gone from 2 to 3 hrs of battery life back to around 8 hrs. Awesome.

Can highly rate thinking about keeping ageing tech alive if it's still fit for purpose. Better than just chucking it out and replacing.
