My max charger’s cable is damaged, but here’s the fun part: you can’t just replace the cable like you do with phone chargers. You have to replace the entire fuckignt thing. Cable and power brick. The brick is completely fine.

“NOOOOO you HAVE to replace everything because the wiring is specially created!!!!”

No fuck that shit. If they can do it with phone chargers they can do with laptop chargers. For fuck’s sake my thinkpad’s charger from a decade ago is modular and you can detach the charging cable from the brick. Also I can wrap my thinkpad charger up nicely and safely but apple bitch ass wants to be special and have the fucking cable insert stick out so it’ll easily bend and get damaged when you put it in a backpack

Fuck Apple. Fuck Steve Jobs. I’d kill that motherfucker if they ever clone him

    Apple hardware is good but it would be 1000x better if they didn't make so many design choices for the aesthetics and planned obsolescence purposes.

    Imagine a Macbook that's actually somewhat repairable by the end user, that would be amazing.
