Upgrading An Old Macbook With an Old Processor

Unfortunately, the first Core Duo chips were limited to 32-bit at a time when the industry was shifting toward 64-bit. The Core 2 Duo eventually filled this gap, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bEsigp_oG4" target="_blank">[dosdude1] recently completed an upgrade to a Macbook Pro</a> that he had always wanted to do by replacing the Core Duo processor it had originally with a Core 2 Duo from a dead motherboard.</p>
<p>The upgrade does require a bit more tooling than many of us may have access too, but the process isn’t completely out of reach, and centers around desoldering the donor processor and making sure the new motherboard gets heated appropriately when removing the old chip and installing the new one. These motherboards had an issue of moisture ingress which adds a pre-heating step that had been the cause of [dosdude1]’s failures in previous attempts. But with the new chip cleaned up, prepared with solder balls, and placed on the new motherboard it was ready to solder into its new home.</p>
<p>Upon booting the upgraded machine, the only hiccup seemed to

It may struggle on larger resource heavy websites, but customer has been fine with it, even uses to watch video websites.

The Core 2 Duo line can still do quite a lot. It was my focus when I first started doing "RetroEdge Tech".

Pebble is really back: New Pebble-branded smartwatches are on the way

Earlier this year Pebble founder Eric Migicovsky announced that he was bringing Pebble back from the dead by launching a new company called Core Devices that would start by making two new PebbleOS smartwatches.

But while the watches would look a lot like classic Pebble devices, at the time there was one thing Migicovsky couldn’t legally do: use the Pebble brand. So the first Core Devices […]

Interface sounds for #pebbleos with real rock sounds I recorded. They were well received on the discord.
In order: timeline scroll, menu scroll, select, error, charger connect, charger disconnect, notification, ringers

Anyone order the Core 2 Duo watch from #repebble? I'm about to sell my Pixel Watch 2 and the Core 2 Duo looks interesting. Anyone have thoughts in the project?

Core Devices is launching a PebbleOS beta, says the new smartphone app will work with old Pebble watches

As part of that announcements, Migicovsky is seeking beta testers for the Core 2 Duo […]

Lilbits: 3rd-party SteamOS devices, the new Pebble 2 smartwatch processor, and Sony is still making flagship phones with headphone jacks

Most modern smartphones have big screens, fast processors, and excellent cameras. One thing they don’t usually have? Headphone jacks. That’s a feature that’s still common on budget phones and some mid-range models, but most premium phone makers have gone all-in on wireless audio (or USB-C dongles).

Sony’s latest flagship bucks the trend. Not only does it have a headphone jack, but the Sony […]

Koko älykellojen konseptin oikeastaan luonut firma, Pebble, on tehnyt paluun

Tai no, tavallaan. Mutta fanien rakastama, jo kymmenen vuotta kuolleena ollut älykellojen käyttöjärjestelmä tekee paluun kahdella uudella kellolla, jotka ovat jo tilattavissa.
