God I fucking hate macbooks. "Oooh don& #39;t charge me from this side". "Today I think I& #39;ll try glitch art". "I& #39;ll just need your signature on this GDB". "The F1 key does not exist but it& #39;s stuck". "Today I& #39;ll make the backlight flicker".
Fuck offfffffff

"Have you tried plugging it off, then on again, then holding four different keys for two seconds until it& #39;s done rebooting and made sure that it didn& #39;t change a single thing? Yes? Well."
Curiosity got the better of me when onboarding — it seemed like everyone had macbooks so they /had/ to have found a way to make them work well right? Wrong! Everybody just accepts that stuff breaks very often.
You& #39;ve probably noticed how I haven& #39;t complained about macOS in /six entire months/. Well that& #39;s because I was running Windows 10 on the beast, and it worked great!
Until the screen started flickering: no, that& #39;s not a recording artifact, and no, resetting NVRAM/SMC don& #39;t help

All in all this is a pretty minor thing, it& #39;s just a $2400 piece of company hardware that turned from a laptop into a desktop (external display works fine).
But that minor thing happening today is pushing me over the edge lmao. I now have enough anger to power a small country.

Every day we stray further from BSD& #39;s light
This thread better be what gets me cancelled, I could use a vacation.
Update: the macbook hath fixed itself, as if by magic.
Presumably, by actual magic. The anger has subsided, but the determination to never buy another one of them, remains.
