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

    That sound like a complaint about USB C not a MagSafe to usb cable specifically. The ship of USB C standardization has sailed though.

    But anyway, the MagSafe side would keep the USB C side relatively safe. If someone trips on it the MagSafe gets pulled out, relieving the USB C.

      yeah it's better than usba to usbc for sure. i just wouldn't go seeking magsafe to usbc out when there's normal ones available, that was the point of my original comment.

      tripping wouldn't be my main concern with that situation either, it'd be getting stepped on or the old "leave it plugged up and coil it up".
