My brain was so cooked, and I had a pretty bad attention span. I couldn't even sit through a 2-hour-long movie. But watching videos of him reviewing hotel card for 1 hour, sitting in a storage unit in silence, or driving his car and stalking his ex for over an hour genuinely improved my life in so many ways: I started watching movies again, I got back into reading, I sleep better, I have better conversations with people. Just endless benefits.

Dan, if you're reading this, thank you.

Around 2 years ago, my Macbook 2018 pro with an Intel chip was on 1900 cycle count, and I was praying for it to last another 3 months as I needed it desperately to finish my studies. 2 years later, it's on 2700 cycle count and its still works perfectly - no overheating, no loud noises, no glitching, it occasionally crashes but not often, maybe once per month. Sure, battery sucks, but I keep it charged and it's all good. I use it around 7-8 hours per day for studying, internet surfing, working, and watching movies.

The thing is, I really want to buy myself the newest MacBook (I was thinking of Air) with M4 or M5 chip, but I told myself I won't do it before this one dies. But the fucker refuses to give up. It was close in January when I accidentally spilled around 200 ml of coke on it, but I dried it out and nothing happened.

Did anyone have a MacBook that lasted more than 3,000 cycles?

Any prediction when it is going to die?

And when it dies - how is it going to happen? Is it just not going to turn on one day? Battery spill? What should I expect?

Btw I'm okay with it and I'm not trying to literally kill it on purpose, I'm just curious should I expect it to die very soon, or maybe it could work for as long as 3500 cycle count?
