It maybe cheaper to just buy a new MacBook if the problem is indeed the motherboard. I just love that this happened only a few months after my warranty expired.

I thought my website was looking a little cluttered with the social media links, so I threw them into a dedicated menu item, thus restoring the main sections ultra minimalism. :)
Social Media
Up until very recently I was on the fence about social media; I thought it was a good idea but I couldn’t be bothered to really take part.
