The iPhone Xr, Xs, SE (2020), 11 and 12 support eSIM, including their variants. Which may be used in conjunction with a regular SIM. There's also multi SIM adapters. Couldn't say if all carriers support the eSIM though. So, verify whichever plans you get. That at least one supports eSIM. Why...

Which Samsung A52? There's noticeable performance difference between the regular and 5G model (Snapdragon 720g vs 750g). Overall the iPhone XS will have better OS support, faster hardware and a better camera. My preference is used flagship phones over new cheap phones of the same price. You'll...

Interesting. If I ever need to do mass media conversion again. I'll give this a try.

#1 is better for gaming and any GPU accelerated task in Adobe or video editing. Otherwise they are practically identical.

Does it start out grey and go black or is it just black all the time? Do you have an external monitor to test with?

Try just the one RAM module you know works in the other slot. Just to be sure (make sure it is properly seated). The only repair would be replacing the motherboard. Which would be ridiculously expensive (especially through Apple) for a computer that old. You'll just waste money having it...

The battery you can test by just unplugging it. Be careful not to pull out any wires. Then try booting without the battery. You'd have to replace the Magsafe DC-In board to find out if that is the issue.

If it doesn't have the keyboard key symbols listed or System Preference option listed in the linked article. Than it likely doesn't have a backlight. As far as I can tell that model has a backlight controlled with the F9 and F10 keys...

Try connecting an external monitor to determine if it is the Macbooks screen or something else.

Even if you found such a converter. It would cost more and have lower audio quality than just buying a 7.1 channel sound card. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102063 https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132084

Run Malwarebytes for Mac, reset Chrome settings and go to chrome:extensions to delete any unknown extensions.

Sound bars are typically self powered. There's no need for the receiver. You can use it to manage connections I suppose if it has a record out connector and the Sony has the correct input. If you have other audio equipment. If it's all video equipment. Most any semi modern TV will pipe through...

When Apple says modular Mac Pro. I'm thinking Apple is going to end up ticking off the Pro users when it is revealed. When I hear Tim say modular. I don't picture them following ATX standards. I see something like Razer Project Christine. Everything being proprietary modules. - You want more...

Tough to say if the Logic Board or keyboard is damaged. First I'd open it up and reseat everything. Just to make sure you don't have a loose cable. Given that you won't know for certain if the keyboard or logic board is damaged. It would make more sense to buy used Macbook of the same model off...
