It's so fucking sad that someone who literally saves around a year to buy its first used MacBook...
...ends up with a MacBook that just the next day gets Remote Management Locked for an Brazilian company that ceased to exist two years ago.
First lesson always: Check iCloud, check Remote Management. If it has any of these, don't but, it's a paperweight.

@heiseonline ja, weil es #Greenwashing ist mit einer nicht-einheimischen Pflanze.
@iFixit #Apple is not just #AntiRepair, but actively #AntiRefurbisher and #AntiReuse with their weaponization of #iCloudLock which allows anyone with the knowledge of an #IMEI or #MAC or #SerialNumber to remotely #brick any #Apple device via #iCloud.

I want @EUCommission & @BMWK to #ban #AntiRepairDesign as pioneered and rolled out by #Apple and copied by a lot of others!
Anything else is undue #Leniency against any #GAFAMs that build #unrepairable #electronics!
And yes, #iCloudLock can be weaponized against users like you and #Apple refuses to even acknowledge the issue!
#Bullshit like the #iCloudLock by #Apple should be prosecuted as #Theft and #CyberCrime done by Apple!
#ClassAction as a measure to deliver recourse against #Corporations is inherently #flawed, #unjust and cements the fact that "If the #penalty is a #fine, it's only #illegal for the #poor"!
In case you don't believe me that #ClassActions only exist to enrich #LawFirms and allow any #corporation to send out insultingly-low #cheques:
#Valve literally changed their [luckily illegal in places with #ConsumerProtection like the #EU] #SteamSubscriberAgreement to basically force people [in the #USA and the rest of the world] to kiss their #Steam account goodbye if they choose to join a Class Action.
#Sony's #OtherOsSettlement didn't force them to #reinstate the #OtherOs functionality on the #PS3 and only gave US comsumers tiny cheques! A core functionality that was as much of a seller of the product as #BackwardsCompatibility and #BluRay playback...
No Class Action against #Apple forced them to #undo shit they purposefully designed into products - espechally their #AntiRepairDesign with #DRM that basically requires a RAT to authenticate parts which they do to this very day and which they literally patented...
(Don't even get me started on the shitshow that is #iCloudLock which I hope the @EUCommission will #ban as it's *infringing on #ConsumerRights re: #property and causes thousands of tons of 100% avoidable #eWaste...)

@EU_Commission @Bundesverband Espechally since #iCloudLock is at best a #security and #privacy nightmare...
