I have a 2016 mbp that my work got me in april 6 months old, and the keyboard is almost unusable some keys have no tactile feedback/snap at all, some keys double-press, and some keys don't register about half of the time which keys these are seem to change on the reg, although SPACE, U, and V are conistently hosed it's like, how am I supposed to copy/paste from SEXCHANGE without a V key

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:get it replaced under warranty? I'm gonna tell IT to take that poo poo back and give me a windows machine with a real keyboard that's right, even Windows 10 (tm) will be better than having to replace the logic board over and over again every 6 months seriously I loved my last two mbps but apple really took a hard left with this one

I hear the bits come out warmer and more dynamic when you render them with an imac, confirm/deny

The Management posted:I’m not a chip designer. I write software that makes the chip work at a low level. then I give the designers feedback on what the software needs to work better and they factor that into future generations. so this chip is co-evolving with iOS at a very deep level. they know what instructions the compiler outputs and what kind of operations apps do frequently and they optimize the chip to make those faster. at the same time the compilers and libraries and kernel know what to do to best take advantage of the microarchitecture. firmware krew itt

Just took my work 2016 mbp to the apple store Trip report: the genius bar is totally unable to deal with a situation where an appointment is made by an IT iTunes account, but the person bringing in the laptop is somebody else They're fixing my trash keyboard by shipping the laptop to houston where they'll replace literally half of the computer (just so the trash keyboard can poo poo out again in 6 months because "dust, or you're typing it wrong") Laptop is on applecare but the invoice would have been $800 wrap it up apple-ailures

do you guys remember when apple changed the scroll direction for no goddamn good reason at all? alienating people who have to switch between windows and mac on the reg?

Linguica posted:the difference between normal scrolling and "natural" scrolling is the difference between feeling like you are moving the viewport around and moving the Content around. the latter obviously makes much more sense on a touchscreen and arguably on a mac if you are the sort of "Creative" that apple wants buying their macs and you are primarily just scrolling around your facebook feed. of course this breaks down when you consider that the primary purpose of a trackpad (moving the mouse pointer) is fundamentally a part of the viewport and not of the Content but i guess our old man brains are not plastic enough to effortlessly handle this dichotomy Also "down" on a scroll-wheel still scrolls down - why make "down" on the touchpad scroll up?

I think we can all agree that its not like scrolling was any harder before apple just changed it for no goladdam reason and made this whole bullshit situation to personally annoy me tim has brought us to this point

applecare trip report: took my 2016 fuckbar keyboard MBP to the mac store because a bunch of keys were double-registering and/or not-registering, also the trackpad sometimes got stuck because of ~*dUsT*~ first they tried to tell me that it was because I wasn't on weed sierra then after I argued with them a bunch, they applecared it and replaced the logic board, which can't be disconnected from the keyboard total repair price without applecare would have been $800 lappy works now, looking forward to having to do this bullshit again in 6 months after the keybaord dies

Dixie Cretin Seaman posted:lol the trackpad also gets hosed from dust? how? not sure if something was broken in there or what, but sometimes the trackpad wouldn't actuate any more (tap-to-click still worked) shaking the computer like an orphan baby would usually fix it until the next time it got stuck
