We have a m2 Macbook air 13'' that had some sticky after spill damage from the previous owner, probably some soda or coffee. I don't like crunchy keys that stick down and don't come back up properly so we decided to remove the keys that were damaged, clean them, then reassemble. It was only a few key but we used this as an opportunity to show how to take off all of the types of keys on the keyboard it well worth the repair. It will work for all of m2 macbook airs and macbook pros 13 or 14 inch and 2020 macbook airs with intel (i3, i5) and m1 macbook pro as well as the 2020 macbook pros with intel (i5, i7) with the same keyboard switch design, and it will work similarly with other keyboards you may have to do more digging to how the keys attach to the switch.

Converting a MacBook or other laptop into a screen-less "slabtop" is a completely different experience. Although Apple didn’t give us a computer inside a keyboard this year, you can just do it yourself.

I could spend days just tweaking things on my computer. Actually, I do. Whenever I see something annoying, I want to drop everything and try to fix it right away. It can be anything. From a minor: “Hey, I just run the same command twice, I should create an alias!” to installing random tools ( “Hmm, I’m wondering if there is a way to get notifications when a long-running job in a terminal finishes, so I can do other stuff in the meantime?”). I also love to read what tools other people are using. This time, I’ve decided to share mine.

Reset the NVRAM & PRAM

• Shut down your Mac.
• Turn it on and immediately press and hold these four keys together: Option, Command, P, and R.
• You can release the keys after about 20 seconds, during which your Mac might appear to restart.

Reset the SMC

• Shut down your Mac.
• Turn it on and immediately press and hold these four keys together: Shift, Control and Option, then press the power button at the same time.
• Hold these keys and the power button for 10 seconds and then release them. In case you have a MacBook Pro with Touch ID, the Touch ID button is also the power button.
• Restart your MacBook pressing the power button.

Clean the system cache

• Remove files from ~/Library/Caches folder

First, do not use the system Perl on MacOS. The installed version is for Apple, not for you

The best practice seems to be starting with a Perl using brew install perl and work in this environment, remembering to setup your bash_profile as directed by the installer.

Also worth remembering to do a brew link perl. If you receive warnings about this clobbering what looks like system Perl libraries don't worry - these are likely modules that were installed by you over the top and it will cause you less trouble to link over these. If you have concerns, make a note of which module installs will be cleared and re-install them once your environment is configured ( ie your module installer approach is configured using cpanm or sticking with the old perl -MCPAN -e shell etc)

(Other languages like Ruby have the same issue)
