Bemfica has a passion for fixing stuff, giving new life to old electronics and tinkering with gadgets. Currently, she owns a 2012 MacBook Pro, an iPhone 7 and a 2010 MacBook Air she's desperately trying to revive. Her main Mac, however, is a Hackintoshed Acer Nitro 5. Bemfica loves how Apple's white brick chargers don't look old even though they were introduced over 20 years ago, and hates how its cables break so damn easily.
