    MacBook A1181 battery alternatives

    The NewerTech battery I bought for my A1181 a few years ago has inevitably gone spicy from lack of use. On top of that, it doesn't look like it (being a MacBook4,1) is supported by OpenCore to disable throttling without battery. Are there any other options buried out there? Buying another...

    Sluggish CD eject on iMac G3 (slot loaded)

    Which Loctite product did you use? They have an overwhelming number of products now, most of which are permanent adhesives. I'm reasonably sure you mean the blue threadlocker linked here but better I ask a dumb question than ruin my drive.
