Last year, Apple outraged independent technicians when they updated the
Iphone design to prevent third party repair, adding a “feature” that
allowed handsets to detect when their screens had been swapped (even
when they’d been swapped for an original, Apple-manufactured screen) and
refuse to function until they got an official Apple unlock code.
Now, this system has come to the MacBook Pros and Imac Pros, thanks to
the “T2 security chip” which will render systems nonfunctional after
replacing the keyboard, screen, case, or other components, until the a
proprietary Apple “configuration tool” is used to unlock the system.
Apple does not tell its customers that the computers it sells are
designed to punish them for opting to get their property repaired by
independent technicians; the details of the T2 came from a leaked
service manual.
Shit like this is why we are supposed to keep businesses on a leash of government regulation but half of ya think that’s too mean and unfair to the livelihoods of trazilluonaires
lup: um, we wrote it on the application?? can you read or like
davenport: i can read it just fine. i just don’t think your last names are actually “from tv” or “you know”, the latter of which is followed by a semicolon and closed parenthesis.
lup: it’s a winky face
davenport: i gathered that, yes.
they compromise and list the twins’ last names as “yuno-fromtivi”
lucretia: that’s a unique surname. where is it from?
taako: e…elf.
