i hate that apple normalized hidden batteries, it would have been so easy to split the bottom plate in half and have the front part be a battery compartment with clips that let go if the battery swells too much the way they are designed now the first sign of problems is that the touchpad button gets stuck, then the touchpad glass cracks and eventually the force of the battery will rip the screws straight through the aluminum bottom plate

my 2015 swelled and the bottom of the case bowed, not anything you're describing $200 to repair but they did replace the entire case in addition to the battery so v0v

it seems telling that a machine most people regard as the pinnacle of laptops was still subject to a battery recall that said, what its probably telling is that all computer are bad computer

nobody actually wants to play the games, either though. the people who do are the same people who enjoy getting monkey island running on an ancient 486 or whatever just put it out there. then archival desires are satisfied and apple gets to have an app store that's not super clogged with stuff that doesn't work on any phones still in support if they're removing apps that WILL run on still-supported phones then i'm gonna agree it's too aggressive deprecation, but overall deprecation is reasonable imo

clown rear end motherfuckers why even have a recovery environment if you just let the certificates expire for the older os packages, and the RE will only check for the os that shipped with the device?

so, instead, the solution is to go find another mac, spend 4 hours downloading the os installer from apple's cdn, which appears to be hosted on a residential dsl connection, using a link you have to google because there aren't any official ones from apple and app store won't let you just download the os installers any more, then look up the command to install the os installer itself to a usb key and spend another 30 minutes running that process, then boot the original mac off the USB key and hope it installs

Or you can use Option-Command-R during startup to be offered either the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac, or in some cases the macOS that came with your Mac or the closest version still available. the apple support doc doesn't explain it, but the "or in some cases" clause is here because the original implementation of internet recovery only had cmd-opt-R and it could only install the macOS that came with your mac, while later revisions of apple's UEFI firmware and the EFI application responsible for internet recovery changed cmd-opt-R to install the latest OS and added cmd-opt-shift-R to get back to the original OS older machines which shipped with the bad option (who wants the OS that shipped with the computer lmao) weren't left out in the cold, apple periodically built new firmware images for old hardware and shipped/installed them as part of macOS updates. so if the computer has ever had a sufficiently modern macOS installed on it, it will have the good poo poo
