Don’t let Google drop support for your Chromebook — do this instead

Last month, I was digging around in my desk cabinets looking for something else and found my Samsung XE350XBA-K05US Chromebook 4+ buried under a bunch notepads and my old MacBook Airs. I got it as a gift in early 2021 and used it a ton those first few months, then less and less. By the time we moved in 2023, I’d already stopped touching it. I tossed it in the cabinet during unpacking and honestly forgot about it. I remembered reading somewhere that Google only supports these things for five years, which would make mine basically worthless. I’m getting rid of my old Macbook Pro soon, and I’d thought I’d do the same here. So, I got curious one day and decided to plug it in.
