Happened to me (in Europe). Keyboard was replaced twice. Logic board died too (along with the data on SSD since it's soldered on). All repairs were done for free by the Apple store, but of course I lost about 10 days of work (or at lea

Nice try, Apple...

Apple doesn't target artists and developers anymore. Photographers cannot easily transfer pictures, devs cannot type, etc. etc. The sooner one understands that, the better.

I'm not sure everyone wants thinnes. I'm working on a 3-cm thick gaming laptop and I'm about 100 times more productive compared to my old 2016 MBP, just because the keyboard actually registeres all keystrokes. I've also

If games are keyboard-based, I don't think Apple would be a good platform, given the state of their keyboards.

Are you being serious? A cast looks pretty ridiculous, but if your arm is broken you wear it. I don't experience motion sickness, but if my girlfriend wore those I wouldn't start making fun of her because even though she's no

So, they didn't seem to have fixed the horrible keyboard problems that all their newer model of laptops have. Why would anyone spend this much money on a laptop, with 2 class actions in the going and Apple not even seriously acknowledg

Why does the author have this horrible tone throughout the whole article? He talks like the glasses are joke and focuses on the fact that--God forbid--they don't have a good design according to him, but if they work they're a fant

Why not integrate it with the mobile browser like Chrome does on Android? Am I missing something?

Wow, not by a huge margin. I'm sure it will pass sooner or later. It's really amazing how people have to keep these idiots that are _supposed to_ be there to guard our interests in check. As long as parties are allowed to accept c

It's definitely bad, I guess lobbysts have come to Europe, too.

I hate how this has been associated with memes. It makes it instantly dismissable as B.S. while it's something that people should take seriously.

Really? I didn't know that,in Italian it a similar word translates into "famous". I wonder how many times I've used it incorrectly...

I don't get it. Isn't this the same as what implemented natively in GNOME, or with Backup and Sync on Windows and MacOS?

Personally, my MBP's keyboard failing and Apple Store saying it wasn't a known problem made me switch to Lenovo (after 5 years with Apple). I bought a 5kg-laptop that I bought with HDD and 8GB RAM and I upgraded myself to 24GB RAM

In Europe minimum mandatory warranty is 2 years.

Enough people had the same experience to allow for a class action. Do you want me to tell someone else's experience?

No, I don't think it's the average experience. What's your point though?

by nkkollaw 8y ago
I switched to Linux on Lenovo because of the problems I've had from the latest MBP. You might expect problems from a 500-euros laptop, but not that your keyboard will stop functioning correctly after 2 months on a 1799-eur laptop. Also

It's the second time that I click "back" because of the idiotic Oath GDPR thing. Either I accept it, or I can't visit the page. I don't see what GDPR has to do with reading an article, and/or why they won'

Sure, but the fact that they dreamed it up and it got this far is worrying.

Ah, I see what the problem is, then. I've always thought it was something they were going to do sooner or later. Electron gets a lot of hate, while I think it's a great tech and 90% of the apps I use are available just because of

by nkkollaw 8y ago
Yes but then what if apps are built for another version?
538.
by nkkollaw 8y ago
I see. I meant more that Electron would add ~/.electron/chrome-66.so, and guarantee that it will be there or downloaded if required by an Electron app. Then, all apps that are built against Chrome 66 would all use a single ~/

by nkkollaw 8y ago
Does it by any chance provide a shared Chrome version across apps? It seems possible to have a single (or 1 for every version) instance of Chrome on the system, and Electron apps could use the same one, or tell Electron they need another ve

"secure" probably refers to the sandboxing functionality that Chrome has had since version 1.
