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
This is repairable if you want to be a huge nerd (or pay a huge nerd). A little portable soldering iron kit, some decent electrical pliers, and some little wedge thingies to open the enclosure is probably enough. Maybe some shrink tubing to make it look clean and a little more stable.
I do agree that those chargers suck though. The cables are pretty flimsy ane once they break, like you say, you've suddenly got work to do.
