    Louis Rossmann are reporting this kind of fail from long ago. Apple even had to recall some models in the past for the exast same problem after people report them to the FCC IIRC.

    In the recall they just added sone millimeters to the cable length and solve the problem, so if this keeps happening it’s because they want to. There isn’t any something-gate, just an anti-consumer movement.

        He has also been reporting about the dust problem for a couple of years. It’s only now that it’s getting wider media coverage, probably because it’s happening to more and more people as time goes on

          Good thing I saw a video about these because I’ve been looking at 2018 MBA for 350€. Then again I only need it for like a year, so it might worth the risk.

            They did ask me for my receipt (I’d bought direct from apple, so I still had it thankfully), no idea if they’d honour a second-hand computer.
