Agree. OP messed up. How would anyone not bother to set a password or "find my" on a $1200 Macbook? That's just negligence and complaining to Apple about it is a bit silly. I haven't set up a Macbook in a while, but I bet you have to go out of your way to disable those security features.
- crazydoggers 3y agoIt’s a little like buying a Lamborghini, and then speeding and totaling it, and then complaining they need to make it not as fast so you can’t do that.
- crazydoggers 3y agoTo be a little less facetious though, at what point do we expect a company to dig us out of our own mistakes. Let’s say you didn’t know you had to take your new car in for an oil change? You ignore the warning lights and requests to service the vehicle. When the vehicle breaks down, I think it’s obvious that the car manufacturer can’t be responsible for fixing it for you. To me, this is the same. The computer is functioning exactly like it should, locking him out is a feature for the vast majority of users, requiring some very basic knowledge to prevent/fix (as mentioned in my other comment, it’s hard to have what happened to him happen without circumventing security on the mac)
- s3p 3y agoHow funny. I had my mac repaired by apple a few months ago because of a strange display issue. Repair was free and took ~2 days. Just checked Settings and it turns out Find My has been off this entire time. Just goes to show that some of us genuinely forget! Not all of us remember to re enable this stuff 0.2 seconds after we turned it off. Edit: I'm sure HN already knows this but just adding in here: Apple doesn't accept devices for repair until Find My is turned off and that's why mine was disabled
