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

      Yes, I had a first-gen Air. The cord was not swappable, and coincidentally it also had a limited lifespan due to a degradable plastic that turned yellow and peeled off over time due to heat. I had exposed grounding wires on my charging cable for most of college. I really like the new ones though.
