the battery in my 2014 macbook pro is expanding again after being replaced (along with the top case but they didnt make me pay for that) two years ago maybe its the quarantine brain but i could swear its getting so hosed up i can see a bit of a bend just looking at the outside of the case. the trackpad is flush with the case if i never post again send the police in case it blew up

"what happened to GT Advanced Technologies? Do you kill them too?" Tim didn't reply right away. He pulled on his cigarette, staring off at the horizon visible through the wall-to-ceiling windows. My words hung in the air, trapped in the air-tight glass pod of his office. At length, Tim spoke. The Management posted:they murdered themselves by overpromising what they could do and not delivering

apple hired a company that couldn't make glass to make the glass for some of their stuff.

isnt making sapphire glass just really inherently hard which is why it's so expensive even for, say, a watch dial

it's not "glass" as much as it is "single-boule sapphire crystal" and yes it is really really hard. there is a reason you don't find gigantic sapphires just floating around in nature honestly i admire the company more for being able to convince a company of apple's size that they'd just happened to solve a whole ton of fundamental materials science problems and were ready for mass production despite apparently being totally unable to do what they claimed

so now that apple has a workstation that makes sense again and fixed the portable keyboards how long until the macbook macbook dies again, it's the next thing to fix.

Last Chance posted:the what? the not-pro not-air macbook. the one that overlaps the base 13 and air for cost and features and is slower than either. oddly premium price without performance that kinda had a reason to exist (the screen) and now doesn't because the air is retina.

It is true that tim can only classify people as pros, or as though they were merely air. Anything in between is untenable
