好累，太久沒錄影片了，一直卡，錄了兩次，第二次總算比較順一點。而且才沒錄多久，就覺得好累喔。昨天發現我的 MacBook 是符合可以更換鍵盤的年份出版的。一買來就覺得這個鍵盤超難打，反饋很差，果然是有問題的。不過符合年份也還要拿去蘋果維修站讓他們檢定，確認有問題才可以換。感覺我這拿去也不會驗出什麼問題。還是算了，還在可以用的範圍內，就打字不好打一點。但是打久了，人也是會適應這不好打的鍵盤。不推MacBook，Air 打字好打多了，不過重量跟大小有關。

最近很久沒發文，一方面是偷懶，一方面是身體不太舒服，藉口偷懶。明天要去看檢驗報告，希望是可以很容易解決的問題，祈禱中，這樣我才能多發廢文啊！星期二了，明天就星期三了，預祝大家小週末愉快！
