- the post-brexit wasteland
my elderly macbook has has just had a new external power supply (the wire in the old one was getting frayed at the point where it connected to the magsafe connector), and rather than just being a case of one component being replaced by another with no effect other than making the laptop usable again, it seems to have made the laptop faster, improved the battery performance, and improved the distance from the wireless router from which it will receive a signal.
i'm no engineer, but i cannot see how this should have made any difference; the specification of new and old power supplies are the same, the only difference being that the magsafe connector was of a slightly different design (the wire in the original was perpendicular to the laptop, the new one in parallel with it).
i know a new component always makes the bike feel faster; but surely this can't be the same effect, can it?
