Well, I've had this iBook for about a year now and with my luck the warranty expired a week ago. I dropped a spoon on my keyboard and the spacebar became sticky. I popped it off and fixed it (or so I thought). Later on I popped it off again but now it won't pop back on. I don't have $100 or the time to pay and let Apple replace my keyboard.

Any advice or suggestions?

wow don't listen to these guys ;P

the key should pop on. maybe you are not aligning it correctly? perhaps you are not sticking the little metal support thing in its little clips?

there is a small chance you broke the little clips off of the key or whatever. in this case i don't know what to suggest.

gluing the key in place would just cause it to not move up and down and i don't know what the point in that would be.

      My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?

      No, it was THAT ugly and I’d rather forget it completely existed.

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
