I didn't really think about it until the parent comment, but looking at your comment - it's kinda funny to me because all of the above product categories, I expect and WANT cheap "knock offs" that cost less. But what's funny to me is that it's never labelled MASTER or APPLE. It's literally labeled something like XIOMI or SAXAS or some shit like that. I could walk into a Home Depot and buy a $20 MASTER lock (or set of 4). Or I can just buy something that does the same thing - which is security theatre. That's the real thing deterring thieves, the look that I've done something that makes is 5 times harder is enough to deter probably 99% of the potential thieves. And it's not a wonder, with amazon packages just sitting on porches, of course there's easier things to steal than something behind a lock.
- Lammy 6y agoYou don't want knockoff chargers. The power supply holds every other component in your computer at its mercy. Get the best one you can!
- egsmi 6y agoObviously I care about my computer. But I care more about my life. Get a proper charger people. http://www.righto.com/2012/03/inside-cheap-phone-charger-and-why-you.html?m=1 http://www.righto.com/2012/03/inside-cheap-phone-charger-and...
- jentist_retol 6y agoThe lock was a specialty lock for a specific purpose (disc lock for a motorcycle). It's supposed to have a reinforced shaft and hardened casing that makes the tools that thieves use on cheaper disc locks useless. I definitely do not want a knock off charger. I didn't care so much about the serial adapter, but it was still very annoying.
