Louis Rossman - Apple & Customs Stole my batteries, [that they don't even sell]

[chunkymonkey]

Only bullshit here is yours.

[Paul-Simon]

Well it wasn't.

Things exist beyond the time they are produced. Oneplus One doesn't make Oneplus Ones anymore, is my Oneplus One suddenly counterfeit? No. If I shipped it to someone who wanted to buy it from me, and Customs seized it the same way Apple has used the government to seize these batteries, is that right or is that bullshit? It's bullshit.

To be fair, it was said by Jobs, and the phrase was "Just avoid holding it this way", which, while still being arrogant as fuck, doesn't mean the same.

Now that's an example of their shitty engineering in laptops, which they should be held accountable for. Apple's charging bricks has more quality than this crap.

Because it wasn't theirs, they licensed it for use with Macs. And yeah, they should've known who they license it to, as the company that use aluminum screws to hold a heavy machine is certainly not to be trusted.
Just because Apple is being bullshit with repair doesn't mean we should automatically trust Rossman with anything, especially after he said that he asked to mask the Apple logo on those batteries with marker, and that he doesn't really know if they're genuine. And other sensational as fuck crap he pulled lately.
Give me old Louis that actually found shitty engineering in Apple tech, like mentoned capacitors and dodgy video chips.

The only people who think Apple are good guys are their fanboy shills. Any person with half a brain could tell you that Tim Cook waving the rainbow flag and pretending to be all progressive doesn't mean shit, because as a publicly traded corporation they are ultimately loyal to their shareholders over any of their customers - and shareholders demanded a guaranteed percentage of growth, customers' rights be damned.

Anyone who isn't a total hack would check the connectors first as they're the easiest point of failure in any circuit. Anything designed to be removable or replaceable is going to break down quicker than the surface-mount shit that blows in more extreme cases.

The fact that Apple still have the SOP of "replace the entire fucking thing" when a half blind dog could find a broken pin is insulting to their customers and predatory.
