Following the link on the Mac page, it looks like Apple will not repair a 2015 Macbook Pro:

https://support.apple.com/en-us/102772

> Obsolete: ... MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015), MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015)...


>Mac laptops may be eligible for an extended battery-only repair period for up to 10 years from when the product was last distributed for sale, subject to parts availability.


Probably makes sense, if you're organized enough, to get a battery swap while it's still in coverage if you'll use. My 2015 MacBook had a battery that got swollen a few years ago. Got it replaced and continue to use it as basically a browser and it's perfectly usable.


Agreed. I sure would love to eat gluten.


> Don't understand this lefty obstinance against preparing for the unexpected when the negative outcome is the death of humanity. Is it because you don't like Elon?

I agreed with you right up until this garbage.


> It of course feels highly coordinated, and those new releases absolutely dominate the social media, when the release/drop happens.

The manufacturers have a review embargo in place, and the "influencers" release their reviews as soon as they're able to. So ya, it's coordinated, but not by some crazy influencer cabal.


Oakdale is more than just a town in Minnesota. It's a first ring suburb of St Paul, the capital of the state. Also, it wasn't limited to Oakdale. It covered a huge swatch of the east metro.

The people involved in that practice should be jailed for murder.


I've been hosting an instance of OpenGist for a while now. It's been extremely solid. Kudos to the dev!


Xfinity bumped the lower tier plans earlier in the week or maybe last week. They obviously knew this was coming.



Why May? They were just introduced in September.


I was thinking that was the soonest event at which they regularly announce new products. They probably weren’t intending to revamp for a year, but under the circumstances they’ll probably update sooner (or settle).
