In a move nobody expected from Apple, the magsafe charger only works correctly with the newest brick

Also, I guess "Qi compatible" now means only 1.5w, 'cause that's all his Pixel 4 XL did on it.

nice clickbait

the old 61W usb-c macbook charger and every other anker or ravpower usb-c charger i tried works fine outputting at 9V/2A with the macsafe puck, this is tested with a usb-c only tester that doesn't have the usb-a plug on it

maybe the guy need to upgrade his testing hardware??


Huh, that's interesting. I don't see how it could be his hardware because it works correctly with the 20w brick; you'd think he'd see an issue on all adapters.

I think they meant "iPhone" when they said brick.

Sorry, I should have said adapter, not brick.

This is my first Macbook (Air) ever, coming from an XPS 13 9380 w/ 8GB RAM.

Chrome is a tiny bit hitchy. I'm currently waiting for the ARM version of Chrome to come out (hopefully today).

It's currently cold here, and I'm used to warming my hands up a bit on the bottom of the XPS; this is no longer possible on the mac. The warmth on the bottom plate feels like I just laid my hand there for 30 seconds.

haha, surely you are trolling us and didn't buy an 8gb laptop in 2020?!

I'm not a computer toucher by trade, and 8GB was just fine in my XPS, so yes I did. I have a desktop PC as well, so this is a secondary machine.

If you have an android phone you can sign up for YT premium in India and switch your account back to the US.

I use a burner account for this and share it with my primary in case google finds out, but it's like $3/mo for the family plan.
