If he’s doing this for profit, there has to be a consumer… Who are the consumers and what are they buying?
Do you not have multiple confluence space admins to avoid specifically this type of problem?
You’re referring to Mandarin Buffet aren’t you
Lmao what’s with the salty tone lol
I would categorize it more as wear and tear rather than disposability, but I do agree that the nature of repairing a MacBook is only for a market that can afford it. It’s much like repairing a car, either you continue repairing it, or you drive it to the ground and buy a new one.
As a software developer, I personally do find MacBooks to be more conducive to my profession, so while I wouldn’t say I agree with “more people need to leave it”, I would say that we as customers should pick the product that suits our needs the most (apple or otherwise), which I believe is the original message in your comment (get the product that you can afford and are in the market for).
The root of the issue was identified by a third party repair shop, narrowing down to two capacitors that were providing the wrong voltage, preventing the MacBook Air to boot up.
While I agree that a repair shop technician is certainly more technically skilled and trained to find those issues than an apple genius bar associate, it is up to Apple to ensure that they equip their associates with the right tools and processes to identify the root cause prior to providing a quote, and even more so to inform the customer prior to performing the work order, or charging the customer.
Coincidentally, I just came back from a battery swap, and in my experience, there was confirmation at every step of the way before proceeding, to ensure that I understand the problem, and approve the work order. In this lady’s case, someone fucked up big time.
What? At the time of this comment, one comment is a link to piped YouTube, one comment about the dispersible nature of Adobe products, and another about the difficulty of electronics repair… Where are these Apple cult members or are you really just hallucinating?
I’m not an expert or anything, but as it has been explained to me, the geo-political consequences of Ukraine having NATO weapons is enormous… If Ukraine were to have access to F-18s, F-35s, or any NATO asset, it would implicate NATO, and further escalate the conflict towards a NATO-Russian war (World War 3), and the precipitation of nuclear assets. This is why even France’s own Dassault assets and Sweden’s Saabs were not offered. F-16s are old enough, and used enough by non-NATO forces that this might be okay.
A prolonged war, while incredibly tragic, might still be less costly than World War 3…
You are a stronger person than I. I still refuse to go back to Reddit after the bs they tried to pull lol. I’ve been looking at other ltt communities, but this is still the biggest community…
Processes that won’t be effective is a possibility, and will require continued retrospectives and evaluations to ensure efficacy.
Forgotten, probably not, especially if it is transcribed into standard operating procedures. When turned into policy, there’s an auditable process to ensure that policies are followed and in compliance.
Are you kidding me? Have we not watched the same video? The man put out numbers detailing the employee turnover rate, benefits package, and even security footage detailing that his employees are not being overworked. Did you not watch the video?
His turnover rate is BELOW Canadian average, meaning his employees haven’t quit at the rate Canadian employees have on average. His benefits packages for his employees are ABOVE MANY Fortune 500 companies. His employees are not being forced to work overtime.
Your premise has no weight, with the currently available evidence (the investigations may change that, but we don’t know for a fact currently). Refute the evidence put forth with actual evidence, not more guesses and claims.
Quid pro quo it would appear.
Addressed in the latest video? They literally and legally can’t.
What we want, and what is legally required, do not coincide.

I don’t think anyone’s dumb enough to go on a golf trip during a crisis. Linus wouldn’t have defended that and would have fired anyone who would’ve gone on a golf trip while the rest of the company works their asses off to get LMG back in shape.
I would prefer to assume good faith. Maybe a family member is in critical care? Maybe collaboration with investigators? Maybe legal consultation? All of those are pretty good reasons not to be in the video.
I guess it’s a matter of perspective and opinion. Not that Reddit is anything to trust, but this thread clearly demonstrates that there are people who appreciate the approach Linus took: https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/comments/161lh3f/heres_the_plan/jxslkvs/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Damn if you do, damn if you don’t. What is a company to do? They have no choice but to take a position, even if that means a small number of folks be upset with them.
As someone in management, I personally feel Linus’ response was pretty appropriate.
Reading the Reddit thread on this, I find it fascinating that, at the beginning of the incident, Lemmy had more balanced conversations vs the crazies on Reddit calling for LTT disbandment. Now after the latest video, it seems like Reddit seems more reasonable and recruiting with Linus’ plans vs Lemmy being the LTT doomsayers.
@7heo pin it please?
Yes that’s true, but I do empathize with the difficulty of the situation, as a manager. A week is practically equivalent to a flash of time in normal business circumstances… Under normal circumstances, that is barely enough time to begin talking about issues, nevermind rolling out plans… I’m even shocked Linus announced a plan to begin with. I was fully expecting a vid to simply call out observations. And this to me demonstrates his commitment and dedication to the community.
So, as much as I’ve been critical of LMG in the past, I would probably give them the time to allow those details (how, how much, what it means) to organically surface over time. Otherwise, that demand is probably what unintentionally pressures LMG to have the output speed they have, because they want to satisfy the community.
While I think these companies should definitely be regulated, I’m not sure how feasible or sustainable it is to nationalize them. It might curtail competition from fostering, if people who are responsible for introducing disruptive companies are less incentivized from creating companies.
As much as I’m not a fan and I’m highly critical of Musk, one can’t deny the disruptive impact his companies have had on the industries, and him forcing traditional car manufacturers to innovate. If his companies get nationalized, would that discourage others from creating potentially positively disruptive companies that would force existing industries to innovate?
