adacostaYou know what I have been thinking about, is how greedy #Apple has become since the 2016 #MacBook Pro's by introducing planned obsolescence and technologies like the touchbar and #BridgeOS under the guise of #security and #privacy. There is no technical limitation in my opinion that prevents Apple from still supporting MacBook Pro's and desktop Mac's as far back as the 2012 models. The sad part is, it could reduce environmental waste; adding services revenue for things like cloud storage.

@oshy both are shit because RAM and SSDs inevitably die over use and time.
Espechally SSDs do with every bit written!!!
And no, since #Apple had the #GalaxyBrainCahir idea to also put the #AEFI (Apple-#EFI & #BridgeOS) on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS) any "#AppleSilicon" / #ARM / #ARM64 #Mac that has it's #SSD die is also #braindead.

Apple's soldered-in SSDs are engineered in the worst way possible
@arcade Did you know that #Apple in their very finite wisdom decided to not put their #AEFI / #BridgeOS on a seperate flash but instead shove it onto proprietary flash chips so if your soldered-in SSD dies - and it will inevitably die over use and time - you can't even make the thing boot off an external drive as it's braindead.
Also good luck trying to crack Apple's #CensorBoot and finding a way to write new #firmware to those chips which you can't buy anywhere legally!

Apple's soldered-in SSDs are engineered in the WORST way possible!
@thememesniper and I though soldered-down SSDs made up of proprietary Flash Chips that WILL INEVITABLY FAIL OVER TIME and thurn the device into a brick when it does because the #Apple #AEFI aka. #BridgeOS is also on the EXACT SAME FLASH CHIPS!
So one can't even reuse the device woth a #Linux on a #USB Flashdrive like a Store&Stay - alike dongle that basically ends up flush and doesn't break off easily.

I have a problem with my work #MBP crashing when being connected to a monitor from sleep. I looked at the error report and noticed:
> Darwin Kernel Version 22.3.0: Thu Jan 5 20:17:53 PST 2023; root:xnu-8792.81.2~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8010
Curious, this is an Intel Mac, why is it saying ARM64…
Turns out it's the #bridgeOS in the #TouchBar that is crashing and it's taking down the entire computer. 😐 So not only is the touch bar user hostile, it's now also leading to panics of the entire machine.
heise online (inoffiziell)Der Konzern räumt ein, dass es auf Intel-Macs mit T2-Chip zu Bootproblemen nach Installation von macOS 12 kommen kann. Ein BridgeOS-Update hilft nicht allen.
