Zorin OS 18.1 gave my MacBook Pro 2017 a second life 💻✨

I had a MacBook Pro 2017 (14,3) sitting unused for over a year. macOS simply wouldn’t install anymore — both macOS Recovery and a fresh USB installer failed during installation because of a hardware check. The culprit appears to be the Touch Bar hardware.
Recently, I discovered Zorin OS 18.1 and decided to give it a try.

And honestly, it brought the MacBook back to life. 🙌
✅ Installation worked
✅ System boots normally
✅ Keyboard, trackpad, Wi-Fi, sound, display & other hardware work great
❌ Touch Bar is the only major thing that doesn’t work
If you have an old 2016/2017 MacBook Pro stuck because macOS hardware checks are failing, don’t throw it away yet.
Zorin OS 18.1 might give it a completely new life.
Sharing this in case it helps someone else revive their old Mac. 🔧🐧

Has anyone else faced missing refunds and “dispatched” replacements that never actually shipped from Zeelab?

I’ve had two separate issues with Zeelab over the past few months, and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar.

Issue 1: A refund was supposedly initiated after a missing item complaint. I was told it would reflect in 24–72 hours, but even after months, I never received the amount. I’ve emailed support multiple times, but there has been no clear resolution.

Issue 2: More recently, I received an email saying my replacement order had been dispatched. However, when I checked the tracking page, it showed “Cancellation Requested” and “Pickup not ready with vendor,” meaning the courier never actually received the package.

The amount involved isn’t huge, but that’s not the point. If refunds are marked as processed when they aren’t, or orders are marked as dispatched before they’re handed over to the courier, customers may simply assume everything is fine and stop following up.

Broadband/AirFiber options in Ghar, Palampur?

Hi everyone,

I’m moving to Ghar (near Palampur) and wanted to know which broadband or AirFiber services are available in the area.

I’m looking for a reliable connection for work, streaming, and large file uploads. Which providers are available there (JioFiber, Airtel Xstream Fiber/AirFiber, BSNL FTTH, local ISPs, etc.)?

How has your experience been with speed, uptime, and customer support?

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Need help lodging an Airtel broadband complaint from abroad (currently in France)

Hi everyone,
I’m currently in France for the next 9 days, and unfortunately my Airtel Xstream Fiber connection back home in India suddenly stopped working.

My mom is at home, but she’s not tech-savvy and isn’t comfortable dealing with customer support or troubleshooting over the phone. Since I’m outside India, I’m also unable to call Airtel customer care directly.

Would anyone be willing to help me lodge a complaint with Airtel on my behalf or suggest the best way to get this resolved remotely?

I can provide the required details privately.

I’d really appreciate any help or guidance.

Thank you so much!

Swiggy / Instamart Not Letting Me Delete My Account – Anyone Else Facing This?

I’ve been trying to delete my Swiggy and Instamart account, but there seems to be no straightforward way to do it. I’ve already contacted customer support and even sent emails requesting account deletion, but so far I’ve had no luck.

It almost feels like the process is intentionally designed to discourage users from deleting their accounts.
Has anyone else faced the same issue? Were you able to get your account permanently deleted? If yes, what steps worked for you?

Any advice would be appreciated.
