also fun, the only way to buy OEM replacement parts is to become an apple certified repair center*, and pay a yearly fee to maintain that designation

once you have it, you're contractually forbidden from reselling those parts except as part of a repair you provide.

*IIRC you need at least one person on staff with up to date apple certs, at minimum

at work our mac guy repairs the macbooks customers bring in for repairs using the parts from macbooks the customers recycle

the Apple display is dead.

they made integrated all-in-one displays so good they realized none of their detached computers (including laptops) could run them, and the standards were barely up to snuff to run them.

enjoy your plastic, shaky monitors with glossy plastic construction now with apple's blessing!

get xamarin and then stick a mac in a closet where it belongs for the ios/osx build server.

lol no sorry everyone has already learned that cross platform poo poo is just a giant garbage pile of mediocrity on each platform and the only people that benefit are hosed up platforms that nobody wants to write apps for. this is the only reason microsoft purchased xamarin and likely the only reason there are as many windows mobile apps as there are today

tbf there's a good reason for that. apple has nothing even remotely like enterprise support and their insistence on hamstringing resellers and repair centers ensures there's no interest from (competent) 3rd parties to fill the gap

repairs can be complicated and require skill, therefor no one should be able to do repairs?
