JanNikitaSilverstone

Silverstone (named after a racing circuit in England) was my daily driver laptop. It had a multitude of problems over the time I owned it, and the last one rendered it unusable. On 2022-09-03, I've placed an order for a new machine.

Naming

I like naming my devices in a semi-random fashion. For this, I go to Wikipedia and visit random articles until I either find one with a good name or get inspired and come up with a name of my own. The name shouldn't make it obvious, what type of device is being named.

For this laptop, I went to Wikipedia and, after some searching, stumbled upon the Silverstone Circuit article. I took it with almost no change.

Problems

The laptop is the late 2016 15-inch MacBook Pro with a Touch Bar. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it is famous for being really poorly built. Here are the problems I've encountered with it.
